Company Reg. No. 10100118. VAT Reg. No. 237 7641 84 2 Main Findings - Executive Summary From my examination of the Puddletown Neighbourhood Plan (PNP/the Plan) and its supporting documentation including the representations made, I have concluded that subject to the policy modifications set out in this report, the Plan meets the Basic Conditions. I have also concluded that: - The Plan has been prepared and submitted for examination by a qualifying body – the Puddletown Area Parish Council; - The Plan has been prepared for an area properly designated – the Parish of Puddletown, as shown on Map 1 on page 1 of the submitted Plan; - The Plan specifies the period during which it is to take effect: 2019 to 2031; and - The policies relate to the development and use of land for a designated neighbourhood area. I recommend that the Plan, once modified, proceeds to referendum on the basis that it has met all the relevant legal requirements. I have considered whether the referendum area should extend beyond the designated area to which the Plan relates and have concluded that it should not. 1. Introduction and Background Puddletown Neighbourhood Plan 2019 to 2031 1.1 Puddletown Parish has a resident population of nearly 1,500.1 The village lies close to the junction of the A35 linking Dorchester, 8 km to the south west, with Bere Regis and the A354 which leads to Blandford Forum about 19 km to the north east. Poole lies about 34 km to the east along the A35. The village is located in gently undulating agricultural landscape, within the low-lying valley of the River Piddle. 1.2 Puddletown Parish is part of a wider group of parishes which comprise those of Puddletown, Athelhampton, Burleston and Tolpuddle and which are represented by the Puddletown Area Parish Council (PAPC). This Neighbourhood Plan is for the Parish of Puddletown and does not include the other parishes in the PAPC. 1.3 The decision to prepare a neighbourhood plan was taken by the PAPC in 2013. However, despite the formation of a steering group in 2015, progress on the preparation of the Plan was sporadic through intervening 1 The Office for National Statistics estimated the combined population of Puddletown and Athelhampton Parishes in 2017 as 1,492. Intelligent Plans and Examinations (IPE) Ltd, 3 Princes Street, Bath BA1 1HL Registered in England and Wales. Company Reg. No. 10100118. VAT Reg. No. 237 7641 84 3 years until 2019, when it accelerated culminating in the submission of the Plan to Dorset Council (DC) in May 2020. The Independent Examiner 1.4 As the Plan has now reached the examination stage, I have been appointed as the examiner of the PNP by DC, with the agreement of the PAPC. 1.5 I am a chartered town planner and former government Planning Inspector and have experience of examining neighbourhood plans. I am an independent examiner, and do not have an interest in any of the land that may be affected by the Plan. The Scope of the Examination 1.6 As the independent examiner, I am required to produce this report and recommend either: (a) that the neighbourhood plan is submitted to a referendum without changes; or (b) that modifications are made and that the modified neighbourhood plan is submitted to a referendum; or (c) that the neighbourhood plan does not proceed to a referendum on the basis that it does not meet the necessary legal requirements. 1.7 The scope of the examination is set out in Paragraph 8(1) of Schedule 4B to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) (‘the 1990 Act’). The examiner must consider: • Whether the Plan meets the Basic Conditions; • Whether the Plan complies with provisions under s.38A and s.38B of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended) (‘the 2004 Act’). These are: - it has been prepared and submitted for examination by a qualifying body, for an area that has been properly designated by the local planning authority; - it sets out policies in relation to the development and use of land; - it specifies the period during which it has effect; - it does not include provisions and policies for ‘excluded development’; Intelligent Plans and Examinations (IPE) Ltd, 3 Princes Street, Bath BA1 1HL Registered in England and Wales. Company Reg. No. 10100118. VAT Reg. No. 237 7641 84 4 - it is the only neighbourhood plan for the area and does not relate to land outside the designated neighbourhood area; - whether the referendum boundary should be extended beyond the designated area, should the Plan proceed to referendum; and • Such matters as prescribed in the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended) (‘the 2012 Regulations’). 1.8 I have considered only matters that fall within Paragraph 8(1) of Schedule 4B to the 1990 Act, with one exception. That is the requirement that the Plan is compatible with the Human Rights Convention. The Basic Conditions 1.9 The ‘Basic Conditions’ are set out in Paragraph 8(2) of Schedule 4B to the 1990 Act. In order to meet the Basic Conditions, the neighbourhood plan must: - Have regard to national policies and advice contained in guidance issued by the Secretary of State; - Contribute to the achievement of sustainable development; - Be in general conformity with the strategic policies of the development plan for the area; - Be compatible with and not breach European Union (EU) obligations; and - Meet prescribed conditions and comply with prescribed matters. 1.10 Regulation 32 of the 2012 Regulations prescribes a further Basic Condition for a neighbourhood plan. This requires that the making of the Plan does not breach the requirement of Chapter 8 Part 6 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (‘the 2017 Regulations’).2 2. Approach to the Examination Planning Policy Context 2.1 The current Development Plan for Puddletown Parish, excluding policies relating to minerals and waste development, is the West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland Local Plan 2015 (WDWPLP). Until April 2019, West Dorset District Council and Weymouth and Portland Borough Council 2 This revised Basic Condition came into force on 28 December 2018 through the Conservation of Habitats and Species and Planning (Various Amendments) (England and Wales) Regulations 2018. Intelligent Plans and Examinations (IPE) Ltd, 3 Princes Street, Bath BA1 1HL Registered in England and Wales. Company Reg. No. 10100118. VAT Reg. No. 237 7641 84 5 were working on a Local Plan Review. However, on 1 April 2019, Dorset Council became a unitary authority which absorbed West Dorset District and Weymouth and Portland Borough Councils and the evidence which was gathered for the Local Plan Review is now being used to produce the Dorset Council Local Plan (DCLP) for the whole of the new administrative area. 2.2 The DCLP is at a very early stage in its preparation and no emergent policies have been published. Nevertheless, Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) states that it is important to minimise any conflicts between policies in the neighbourhood plan and those in the emerging local plan, including housing supply policies. The PPG advises that the reasoning and evidence informing emerging local plans can be relevant to neighbourhood plans. Where a neighbourhood plan is brought forward before an up-to-date local plan is in place, the local planning authority and qualifying body should discuss and aim to agree the relationship between their emerging policies and the adopted development plan.3 2.3 The planning policy for England is set out principally in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). PPG offers guidance on how this policy should be implemented. A revised NPPF was published on 19 February 2019 and all references in this report are to the February 2019 NPPF and its accompanying PPG.4 Submitted Documents 2.4 I have considered all policy, guidance and other reference documents I consider relevant to the examination, including those submitted which includes: • the Puddletown Neighbourhood Plan 2019 – 2031; • the map on page 1 of the

  • Minutes of Puddletown Area Parish Council Meeting Held on Thursday 15Th April, 2010 at Tolpuddle Village Hall, Commencing 7.30P.M
    Minutes of Puddletown Area Parish Council meeting held on Thursday 15th April, 2010 at Tolpuddle Village Hall, commencing 7.30p.m. Present: M Oddy, B Legg, J Hopkin, M Crankshaw, A Sheppard, C Leonard, T White, P Drake Chair: S Buck Clerk: Mrs A Crocker 3 members of the public. PCSO Vicky Hedge The Chairman asked those members of the public present if they would like to make any comments or ask any questions. Mr Tony Gould reported that, in the Village Meeting, they had been talking about the old chapel building where the Martyrs met for worship. It is described as a building of great historic interest and there is talk that the villagers would like to get it restored and it would add to the historical content and heritage of the village. It was built in 1818 but fell into disuse in about 1840 and was replaced by the new chapel in 1862/63. It was originally on a life hold tenancy reverting back to the land owner once the tenant died. It is a project the village would like to take up. This is a grade II* listed building. It was suggested that the way forward would be to involve the owner of the site. The Parish Council would be happy to back any project involving the renovation of the building. M Cooke has already provided them with some contact names and numbers. Bob Dean – adoption of road on Central farm estate. The Clerk will contact the appropriate authority to find out what is happening. It is understood that a financial bond would have been set up to cover this sort of eventuality.

  • Joint Local Plan Review for West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland
    Joint Local Plan Review for West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland INITIAL ISSUES AND OPTIONS CONSULTATION FEBRUARY 2017 West Dorset, Weymouth & Portland Local Plan Review Foreword We are delighted to introduce the review of the West Dorset, Weymouth & Portland joint Local Plan. Although it is only a short time ago since the examination and adoption of the joint Local Plan, the inspector who examined the plan said that the councils should prepare an early review. This review needs to identify additional land capable of meeting housing needs to the end of the current plan period (2031) as well as the broad locations for development in the five year period thereafter (to 2036). The inspector pointed towards Dorchester and Sherborne as locations for future growth, but we have also considered a range of options in our coastal and market towns. Government planning policy has changed on a number of issues including the introduction of ‘starter homes’ and ‘self build and custom housebuilding’ aimed to fulfil the Government’s priority to build more homes. We are therefore addressing these issues too. This first consultation document presents the issues relevant to the plan area today and seeks your thoughts on the different options that we can take. It is important to remember that these are ‘options’ which will be refined at a later stage - there is no commitment to any one solution at this point. The review of the adopted local plan is just starting and we are keen to seek as many different views as possible before we go any further. Your views are really important to us and the feedback we receive will guide decisions as the plan progresses towards examination and adoption.

  • The Geology and Landscape of the South Dorset Ridgeway. the South
    The Geology and Landscape of the South Dorset Ridgeway. The South Dorset Ridgeway is part of the Dorset A.O.N.B and is an area extending 17 km east to west from Poxwell to West Bexington and 7 km north to south from the southern outskirts of Dorchester to the scarp and vale landscape of the Weymouth lowlands. Within this area there are several local geological sites (L.G.S.) which have been designated as sites of geological interest (formerly Regionally Important Geological Sites or RIGS). It is hoped that those interested in the many aspects of the area will find this study of the geology of use to better understand the nature of the landscape, the ecology and the human history. The sites that fall within the study area are as follows: Site Location GR and or postcode. Bincombe Hill Quarry SY689845, DT3 5PU Corton SY636854, DT3 4EP Kingston Maurward Quarry SY718917, DT2 8PU Lime Kiln Crags (Abbotsbury) SY589858, DT3 4LD North Barn Farm SY567916, DT2 9EF Portesham Rocket Quarry SY610859, DT3 4ES Poxwell SY743835, DT2 8ND Red Lane Abbotsbury SY575855, DT3 4JS The sites are located across the area from the northern edge of the Weymouth Anticline (Red Lane, Portesham and Bincombe) to the Chalk Valley and Downland in the north (Kingston Maurward and North Barn Farm). Another very interesting area in the east is around Poxwell. The rocks in the area are all sedimentary in origin and range from late Jurassic rocks at Abbotsbury (Corallian to Kimmeridge Clay passage beds), Portesham and Poxwell, (Kimmeridge Clay and Portland Beds) across the Jurassic Cretaceous boundary with the Purbeck Beds and then the later rocks of the middle and late Cretaceous (Upper Greensand and Chalk) seen at Bincombe Hill Quarry, Lime Kiln Crags, North Barn Farm and Kingston Maurward).
