It controls which new buildings will be built and where they should go. The purpose of the planning system is to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development and local councils are expected to plan positively for the needs of their area. 1.1.2 The joint local plan for West Dorset and Weymouth & Portland was adopted in October 2015 and is now being reviewed, as advised by the local plan inspector. The local plan review, when adopted, will replace the current local plan and will form part of the development plan for the area. It will provide the main basis for making decisions on planning applications giving local communities, developers and investors greater certainty about the types of applications that are likely to be approved. 1.1.3 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and any other national planning policy must be taken into account in the preparation of local and neighbourhood development plans and are material considerations in determining planning applications. 1.1.4 Neighbourhood development plans, when adopted, also form part of the development plan. They are prepared by local communities (led by a parish or town council, or where none exists, a neighbourhood forum). These can be as simple, or as detailed, as local people want, provided they have regard to national planning policy and are in general conformity with the strategic policies of the local plan (and in due course local plan review). When a neighbourhood development plan is brought into force, its policies will take precedence over the existing non-strategic policies in the local plan (or review) for that neighbourhood, where they are in conflict. 1.1.5 Other development plan documents and supplementary planning documents may be produced when necessary to cover specific topics or sites or to provide more detailed policy. These will also be used to guide decision taking. All relevant planning policy documents can be seen at the council offices and on www.dorsetforyou.com. WHAT PERIOD DOES THE LOCAL PLAN REVIEW COVER? 1.1.6 The local plan review will cover the period from 2016 to 2036. The start date reflects when the most up-to-date household projections (2014-based) were published and the end-date is as recommended by the inspector of the currently adopted local plan. 1.1.7 National guidance states that most local plans will require updating in whole or in part every 5 years. The local plan is therefore likely to be reviewed again well before the end of this plan period, to ensure that it remains effective and up-to-date. CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION LPR 1 Local Plan Review West Dorset, Weymouth & Portland Local Plan Review – Preferred Options WHO PRODUCED THE LOCAL PLAN REVIEW? 1.1.8 This document has been produced by West Dorset District Council and Weymouth and Portland Borough Council as the key development plan document for the area. It has been informed by both councils’ Corporate Plans and the Community Plans developed by the West Dorset Partnership and the Weymouth and Portland Partnership. 1.1.9 Whilst the plan has been jointly prepared, decisions on land within the boundaries of each council area have been made by the council for that specific area. Planning applications will continue to be determined by each council for its own area. GUIDE TO USING THIS DOCUMENT 1.1.10 The next sections of this chapter contain an overall description of the plan review area and the issues it faces (the plan’s context). They also include the overarching VISION and STRATEGIC PRIORITIES for the plan review area, and the STRATEGIC APPROACH which together provide the strategic policy direction for the plan, any related development plan documents and neighbourhood development plans. 1.1.11 This document is then split into chapters covering: ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE – which is about protecting and enhancing our natural environment, our built heritage, protecting ourselves from natural and man- made disasters and achieving high quality and sustainability in design; ACHIEVING A SUSTAINABLE PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT – which sets the overall level of growth in the plan period, and the overarching approach to how this growth is distributed across the plan review area; ECONOMY – which looks at the need to provide new and protect existing employment sites, our approach to retail and town centre development, tourism and rural enterprise; HOUSING – which considers the policies needed on providing affordable and open market housing and how this might differ depending on the location and type of units proposed, and the need for particular types of housing development such as care accommodation and self-build; and COMMUNITY NEEDS AND INFRASTRUCTURE – which sets out our approach to a wide range of community facilities and infrastructure, including specific policies for public open space, sport and recreation facilities, education and training facilities, transport, renewable energy, telecommunications and broadband. 1.1.12 For each of these themes there is the relevant excerpt from the strategic approach which sets the over-arching strategy for that topic, and more detailed policies that will be applied to specific issues or types of development. 1.1.13 Following this, there are visions and site-specific policies for each of the main towns and areas of growth, being WEYMOUTH, PORTLAND, LITTLEMOOR, CHICKERELL, DORCHESTER, CROSSWAYS, BRIDPORT, BEAMINSTER, LYME REGIS and SHERBORNE. The remaining CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION LPR 2 Local Plan Review West Dorset, Weymouth & Portland Local Plan Review – Preferred Options settlements do not have specific policies but may still be covered by neighbourhood development plans prepared by that local community, which will become part of the development plan. A glossary at the back of this document explains what is meant by some of the terms used. Some of the key definitions are also included in boxes within the plan review itself. 1.1.14 Planning policies are written in bold and are prefaced by the chapter abbreviation and policy number (e.g.: SUS3.). In deciding whether a planning application is in conformity with the local plan review, the wording of these policies is the main focus. The accompanying text provides the ‘reasoned justification’ for the policy. This may include more detail on how the tests in policy should be applied and set out the type of information that may be required to support particular applications. 1.1.15 The plan review will replace the current local plan and should be read as a whole. Therefore policies on specific uses will not duplicate general issues such as the protection of heritage assets, nature conservation or the impact on the transport network, which are dealt with under those topic areas. THE USE OF THE WORDS ‘WILL’ AND ‘SHOULD’ Policies in the plan review are written to cater for a wide range of planning applications, from small- scale domestic

  • Pessimism in Thomas Hardy's Novels
    © 2019 JETIR May 2019, Volume 6, Issue 5 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) PESSIMISM IN THOMAS HARDY'S NOVELS Shakeel Ahmad Bhat1, Dr. Dinesh Kumar Sharma2 1M.Phil Research Scholar, Dept. of English, SBBS University (Jalandhar), Punjab 2Assistant Professor, Dept. of English, SBBS University (Jalandhar), Pumjab. ABSTRACT In the mid 1860s, after the appearance Darwin's origin of Species (1859), Thomas Hardy courageously tested huge numbers of the sexual and religious shows of the Victorian age; however he before long embraced the mechanical-determinist perspective on universe's mercilessness, reflected in the definitely grievous and pointless destinies of his characters. In his Poems Hardy delineated provincial existence without wistfulness? His state of mind was frequently unemotionally sad. Destiny assumes a noteworthy job in a considerable lot of Hardy's works; both Tess of the D'Urbervilles and the Mayor of Casterbridge contain different occasions where its belongings are promptly obvious. Additionally, Hardy's works mirror a skeptical view where destiny, or chance, is in charge of a character's ruin. The focal point of his works was the fairly forsaken and history-freighted wide open around Dorchester. Hardy's composition of books of "Wessex," the authentic, Somewhat Anglo-Saxon name he gave in fiction to his local Dorset, from this time until 1895. Tess of the D'Urbervilles, distributed in 1891, was right away well known with the perusing open. Be that as it may, it additionally caused discussion: Victorian moralists and ministers were scandalized by the creator's dispute that his courageous woman was, in the expressions of the novel's sub-title, an ethically unadulterated lady.
