Onassis is YOUR DIARY depicted looking out to sea towards Skorpios, his private island, and the quotation on the plinth extols his successes available to all through the virtues of enterprise and hard work.

    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.

  • Local Plan Review Consultation Update

    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.

    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.
  • Moths of Poole Harbour Species List

    Moths of Poole Harbour Species List

    Moths of Poole Harbour is a project of Birds of Poole Harbour Moths of Poole Harbour Species List Birds of Poole Harbour & Moths of Poole Harbour recording area The Moths of Poole Harbour Project The ‘Moths of Poole Harbour’ project (MoPH) was established in 2017 to gain knowledge of moth species occurring in Poole Harbour, Dorset, their distribution, abundance and to some extent, their habitat requirements. The study area uses the same boundaries as the Birds of Poole Harbour (BoPH) project. Abigail Gibbs and Chris Thain, previous Wardens on Brownsea Island for Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT), were invited by BoPH to undertake a study of moths in the Poole Harbour recording area. This is an area of some 175 square kilometres stretching from Corfe Castle in the south to Canford Heath in the north of the conurbation and west as far as Wareham. 4 moth traps were purchased for the project; 3 Mercury Vapour (MV) Robinson traps with 50m extension cables and one Actinic, Ultra-violet (UV) portable Heath trap running from a rechargeable battery. This was the capability that was deployed on most of the ensuing 327 nights of trapping. Locations were selected using a number of criteria: Habitat, accessibility, existing knowledge (previously well-recorded sites were generally not included), potential for repeat visits, site security and potential for public engagement. Field work commenced from late July 2017 and continued until October. Generally, in the years 2018 – 2020 trapping field work began in March/ April and ran on until late October or early November, stopping at the first frost.

Dorset Heaths Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

Core Strategy Preferred Options document This document will be made available in other languages, in large print or in the form of a radio transcription on request. Please telephone 01929 557339 if you need assistance with this document. Core Strategy Preferred Options document Foreword The Core Strategy will set out a vision for how Purbeck can create sustainable communities over the next 15-20 years. Its purpose is to proactively manage development and associated activities to make Purbeck a better place. It should identify the key assets of Purbeck which need protection, and take account of the aspiration of Purbeck’s residents so that development can better address their needs. It is important to recognise that new development, (whether new houses, employment uses, shops or other community facilities) will be an essential part of the equation. Undoubtedly development brings pressures and difficulties, but it can also help deliver our housing needs, help create a stronger economy, improve accessibility to shops and services, communication and health. The challenge for planning is to manage development and associated activities so that what is built meets the needs of present and future generations. Purbeck District Council is responsible for only a small amount of the activities that happen within the District, with other organisations in the public, private, and voluntary sectors providing many services.

Excluding listed places of worship, for which the survey is still incomplete,1,150 assets have been removed for positive reasons since the Register was launched in 2008.The sites that remain at risk tend to be the more intractable ones where solutions are taking longer to implement. While the overall number of buildings at risk has fallen, the average conservation deficit for each property has increased from £260k (1999) to £370k (2012).We are also seeing a steady increase in the proportion of buildings that are capable of beneficial re-use – those that have become redundant not because of any fundamental lack of potential, but simply as the temporary victims of the current economic climate. The South West headlines for 2012 reveal a mixed picture. We will continue to fund Monument Management It is good news that 8 buildings at risk have been removed Schemes which, with match-funding from local authorities, from the Register; less good that another 15 have had to offer a cost-effective, locally led approach to tackling be added.

  • Dorset Council Local Plan Consultation Milborne St Andrew Parish Council Response 17 February 2021

    Dorset Council Local Plan Consultation Milborne St Andrew Parish Council Response 17 February 2021

    Dorset Planning Consultant Ltd DORSET COUNCIL LOCAL PLAN CONSULTATION MILBORNE ST ANDREW PARISH COUNCIL RESPONSE 17 FEBRUARY 2021 SECTION 2: DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY DEV1: The housing requirement and the need for employment land in Dorset It is accepted that the starting point of the housing numbers for the area is a matter dictated by the housing projections cascaded down from central Government. It is disappointing that these are using out-of-date populations projections and appear to take no account of environmental constraints at this first stage. As worded this states that provision is made so that (a minimum number) of houses ‘will be delivered’. Yet the actual delivery is not within the control of Dorset Council or local communities. It would be much better to phrase this along the lines of the provision “will enable landowners and developers to deliver this growth...” Section 2.7.3 highlights that past delivery has been below the target rate set in local plans, but provides no analysis as to why this is the case – which is critical if we are to avoid repeating this problem (and unnecessarily develop unsuitable land). There are certainly examples of development within Milborne St Andrew that have not progressed in a timely fashion, and not only does this put pressure on the further release of greenfield sites, but also their part-implementation has caused concern when the site falls into disrepair. We would also like the Council to consider including sub-area targets for each functional area within the policy, if there is a genuine spatial strategy that seeks to direct growth in a manner that is sustainably balanced, and to minimise the risk that (for example) the failure to deliver on development on one side of the county will be seen to be remedied by further growth in a completely different area, if the housing land supply falls below 5 year’s supply.
