    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.

As well as being open to the public, people representing a wide range of interests are being invited to attend these events. The purpose of each AGM is to enable the Agency to report on its recent achievements, outline current work and consult on some of our key priorities.

  • 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.

    Dorset Opera News | Spring 2013 | Issue 16 DO News | Spring 2013

    THE DORSET OPERA MMXIII The Flying Dutchman The 2013 Dorset Opera Festival celebrates the bi-centenary of Wagner’s birth with the exhilarating and stirring Flying Dutchman. At just 2 hours 20 minutes in length, this is the way to ease yourself into Wagner, and tickets are still available. This is early Wagner - akin to Beethoven in style. It presages what is to come in compostion terms, but it is nowhere near the complex, climactic, interwoven structures that we have come to expect with his later work that culminates in the Ring Cycle. Go to YouTube and play the Dutchman overture; you’ll be hooked! Better still, treat yourself to a sneak preview of American Mark S. Doss singing the Dutchman’s aria from the Bologna production in which he appeared earlier this year. Enter this link http://bit.ly/YP0fk7 into your browser, turn up the volume, sit back and be stunned by the exciting dark, bass quality of his voice. Mark is our Dutchman! Partnering him is a soprano well known to Dorset Opera Festival audiences: Lee Bissett. She had enormous success singing the title role in our production of Tosca two years ago. Having already conquered Wagner’s Sieglinde to great critical acclaim, she will bring beauty and vocal power to the role of Senta. Controlling the vast forces of our first foray into Wagner is Dorset Opera Festival music director Jeremy Carnall. Alongside director Paul Carr, he will wring every thrilling nuance out of this score. And Jeremy has some news of his own - take a look through your bumper edition of DONews to glean more..

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.

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.

    AFFPUDDLE & TURNERSPUDDLE PARISH COUNCIL (DORSET) The

    Case study on a Community Governance Review AFFPUDDLE & TURNERSPUDDLE PARISH COUNCIL (DORSET) The context This case study describes a Community Governance Review which considered two neighbouring parishes. Its outcome was to combine the parishes of Affpuddle and Turnerspuddle, removing the boundary between them. The new Affpuddle & Turnerspuddle Parish Council came into effect in 2010. The population of the combined parish is no more than 450 and the former Turnerspuddle Parish had ee partiularl sall. These two parishes had ee joitl ru as a grouped parish ouil sie 9, uder a Grouping Order made by Dorset County Council. There were nine Councillors, seven elected by Affpuddle and two elected by Turnerspuddle. Their formal merger was proposed by some local councillors and residents once before, when Purbeck District Council consulted all of its local councils to ask about possible boundary changes. However, nothing further happened at that stage, because some of the changes put forward (elsewhere) were seen as contentious. Affpuddle & Turnerspuddle is a very rural parish which lies in the north-west corner of the Purbeck District Council area. It could be described as a mix of woodland, heathland and water meadow. Despite the name, its largest settlement is the village of Briantspuddle. It contains the cottage which was the last home of Lawrence of Arabia, now managed by the National Trust, and the Bovington tank training area is nearby. What happened in the review The wish to see Affpuddle and Turnerspuddle parishes formally combined continued to be felt and at a more recent annual parish meeting a resolution was passed, which again asked for the creation of a single parish.
