  • Piddle Valley Neighbourhood Plan 2018 to 2033
    Piddle Valley Neighbourhood Plan 2018 to 2033 As modified by the Independent Examiner November 2016 Post Examination Draft–January 2018 Produced by Piddle Valley Parish Council with the help of local residents Piddle Valley Neighbourhood Plan – 2018 to 2033 How this Plan came about Back in 2012, the idea of a Neighbourhood Plan for the Piddle Valley was discussed at the Parish Council meetings. A small working group was formed. Having done some research and looked at other examples, the group wanted to be sure that there was enough support for a Neighbourhood Plan, as it was clear that producing a plan would take a lot of community time and effort. So the group put articles in the Piddle Valley News and Views to try to explain what a Neighbourhood Plan was, and what it could achieve, and organised presentations at the school in October that year. They gave local residents the chance to vote whether or not they wanted a Neighbourhood Plan. They explained that - If nothing is done, then future planning decisions that affect the Valley will be taken by the District Council as they see fit. If the Valley has its own Neighbourhood Plan, which sets out our wishes for things we both do and do not wish to see occur, then the District Council have to take those views into account in reaching their decision. The Plan will take a lot of time and work to prepare, including further consultations, and must eventually be approved by a referendum of the Valley residents. It is important therefore for the Parish Council to know that there is support in principle for the work involved.

The slopes and crests are mostly comprised of shallow well-drained calcareous silty soils over chalk, whilst the valley bottoms are made up of deep calcareous and non-calcareous fine silty soils. Due to its geology and topography, the Piddle Valley is prone to high water tables during prolonged wet periods.

Democratic Period i) Dorset Councillor update Dorset Cllr Haynes gave an update on Dorset Council including the following; The Council’s restructuring is continuing with the second tranche now in consultation. Local Plan – a new Dorset-wide Local Plan for the new Dorset Council needs to be progressed and the aim is to have this complete by early 2024. The Dorset Council cabinet has agreed to stop progressing work on the Local Plan Reviews of the former District Councils, although information and evidence gathered as part of those reviews would be used for the new review. There are implications to this regarding National Parks within the AONB and the Emergency Climate bill. The existing Local Plan will remain in place until the new plan has been formed. Budgets are struggling in certain areas as expected and this means that some of the reserves will be required. ii) Police/home watch update PCSO Donnison was unable to attend the meeting but sent the following report; Crimes Reported 26-06-19 – 26-07-19 28/6/19 Theft from vehicle (wing mirror) Alton Pancras 03/07/19 Theft of wheelie bins Alton Pancras 03/07/19 Theft of Generators & Tools Plush 4/7/19 Burglary Dorchester 8/7/19 Theft from tractor (GPS screens) Alton Pancras Other Information: There is a Firearms Surrender Campaign running between 20th July and 4th August.
