  • East Chaldon Settlement Boundary Review Background Paper – January 2015
    This document contains two parts: Part A is specific to East Chaldon, showing the Council’s proposed amendments to the settlement boundary. Part B is an appendix common to all of the settlement boundary reviews and provides the Council’s approach to the review. This sets out the background to the district-wide settlement boundary review, for example discussing why the Council supports using settlement boundaries, and provides criteria for what should or should not be included within a settlement boundary. The Council is inviting comments on both parts of this document as part of the Partial Review Issues and Options Consultation which runs from 29 January to 13 March 2015. The Council will update this document after every consultation stage.

  • S I D M O U T H
    S I D M O U T H Newsletter September 2017 Issue 48 From the Chairman I closed my piece in the last newsletter by wishing you a great summer unfortunately that has now passed and, according to the met office, we are now officially in Autumn! One of the "hot topics" for the last newsletter was the proposed takeover of the lease of St Francis Church Hall by the Sidmouth Town Band, this has been delayed with no further developments likely until December this year. I'm confident that many organisations, apart from the U3A, hope that the layout of the hall does not change regardless of who operates the lease. It is with some sadness that I've learnt of the passing of Joy Pollock, a founder member of Sidmouth U3A. Joy along with Madge White and June Newbould were the three ladies who met at the Sidmouth Sports Centre and decided to create a steering committee to set-up a U3A branch in Sidmouth. That small seed planted in October 1993 with 15 members has blossomed into our present branch with approaching 350 members. The original membership fee was £5 per head but interestingly the attendance charge for a monthly meeting was 50p the same as it is today! The U3A which Joy helped to start was very different to the organisation we have today, however, when Joy attended the anniversary lunch in 2014 she seemed to approve of the way the branch had developed. There will be those who remember Joy and mourn the passing of one our founder members.

  • Wytch Farm Landscape and Access Enhancement Fund the Dorset
    Wytch Farm Landscape and Access Enhancement Fund The Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a nationally important protected landscape, with vibrant communities and a wealth of wildlife and heritage. Within the AONB is the largest on-shore oilfield in Europe, at Wytch Farm near Corfe Castle. As part of a planning application to extend the working life of the oilfield by a further 20 years, the oilfield operator, Perenco UK has provided a sum of £1.7 million for landscape, biodiversity and sustainable transport projects to enhance the landscape. This sum is to be used to fund projects that compensate for the environmental impacts of the further retention of the oilfields infrastructure in the landscape. How to Apply If you would like to apply to this fund, please assess your project against the information below to check whether you fulfil the criteria. Applications are to be made on a form downloadable from the Dorset AONB website. What kinds of project can be funded? Projects can be funded which: • Strengthen the character of the surrounding landscape by heathland and acid grassland mosaic creation, conservation, enhancement and management. • Enhance biodiversity by the conservation, enhancement and management of boundary features (hedgerows, veteran trees and earthbanks), woodlands (e.g. through Rhododendron control) and rural lanes. • Improve rights of way and / or facilities for no-car access and conserving tranquillity. Funding is to be targeted to physical works which achieve these aims. Project management time to deliver a practical project can be included within the overall proposal but funds will not be awarded to projects with a disproportionate amount of revenue costs (e.g.

  • Local Plan Review Consultation Update
    Item 20 Annual Council Meeting – 8 May 2018 Local plan review consultation update 1. Purpose of report To report the outcomes of the local plan review consultation. 2. Key issues 2.1 The Council undertook a consultation about its local plan development between January and March this year. The purpose of the consultation was to get people’s views on a number of possible sites, presented together in three options, for meeting the remaining need to provide 1,700 homes over the plan period. The Council also asked for people’s views on a number of new policies relating to second homes, affordable homes and a new small sites policy. 2.2 The Council commissioned Public Perspectives, an independent research and consultation organisation, to support the design and delivery of the consultation and produce an independent report of the consultation results. Public Perspectives’ report is attached in Appendix 1. 2.3 This report summarises the results of the consultation on the potential development sites and also proposed new policies on second homes, affordable homes and a small sites policy. The Council will take the results from the consultation into account when preparing the new Local Plan. The new Local Plan will be published for the statutory 6 week period for representations in relation to soundness against the tests set out in the national planning policy framework towards the end of 2018 before it is submitted for examination. 3. Recommendation The Local Plan Working Group and officers take account of the conclusions of the consultation report in drafting the pre-submission draft of the local plan.

  • No 1 Wareham Camp
    Wareham in the First World War 1914-1918 No 1 Wareham Camp View of Wareham Camp from Worgret in 1915/16. The building left of centre is Robert Christmas House (then the workhouse), Arne Hill is in the centre, and the railway is in the cutting in the foreground. At the time of the outbreak of the war, Wareham was a small town of just over 2,000 people. The town was transformed during the war by the huge military camp built on the outskirts of the town, on both sides of the Worgret Road. It was known as Wareham Camp or Worgret Camp. Military training for units of the Territorial Army had taken place in the Wareham area for more than 50 years, because of the wide open spaces and easy access by train. These camps were tented, and temporary; the wartime Wareham Camp was built of wooden huts and existed for about eight years. Wareham was chosen as the site of a major camp in early September 1914, a month after Britain declared war on Germany. It was to be used as a base for training new recruits. The first arrivals were volunteers from Yorkshire, who had responded to Lord Kitchener’s famous call to sign up, “YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU.” Six hundred men arrived by train in Wareham to find that no preparations had been made for them. It was raining heavily and they were all soaked. Until tents arrived, they were accommodated in halls, churches, schools and private houses, and the townspeople provided blankets, food and cigarettes.

  • South West Coast Path : Weymouth to Lulworth Cove Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk South West Coast Path : Weymouth to Lulworth Cove walk Weymouth Bay, then a dramatic cliff walk past small beaches, then higher cliffs past Durdle Door (stack) to Lulworth Cove Length 11.1 miles / 17.8 km Toughness 8 out of 10 - 2,400 feet / 730m of ascent (lots of small climbs) Features This spectacular coast walk follows the waymarked South West Coastal Path (SWCP) / England Coast Path (ECP) from Weymouth (seaside town with picturesque harbour) along its seafront promenade, then over spectacular cliffs and past secluded coves and beaches towards Durdle Door (stack) and Lulworth Cove. All, with views over Weymouth Bay and the Isle of Portland. The start is gentle - along the seafront then seawall. Then over a small hill (pub, cafe, both with sea views) to Bowleaze Cove with its spectacular art deco hotel. Then past some small beaches to the Smugglers Inn in Osmington for lunch. After lunch the cliff top path continues on past Ringstead and above Burning Cliff beach (the fire went out in in 19th C). It passes St Catherine-by- the-Sea church (nice picnic spot), and then becomes an undulating cliff edge walk (a more level inland option is available) to Durdle Door (a stack, great beach) before descending to Lulworth Cove. Return to Wool Station by bus (summer only) or taxi This walk can also be done in reverse, indeed transport considerations may may that a better option. In this case, take a bus from Wool to Lulworth Cove. At the end, continue along the coast to Weymouth's Historic Harbour area which is much nicer than the tacky seafront next to the train station https://www.walkingclub.org.uk/walk/weymouth-to-lulworth-cove/ 1/6 You hardly need a map for this walk as the SWCP is very well waymarked, and you are just following the coast, but it is useful to check your progress.
