Mark Pascoe Review Officer Local Government Boundary Commission for England Layden House 76-86 Turnmill Street London EC1 5LG

From: John Holiday [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 03 June 2013 15:53 To: Reviews@ Cc: Pauline Batstone Subject: Electoral Review of North Dorset Mark Pascoe Review Officer Local Government Boundary Commission for England Layden House 76-86 Turnmill Street London EC1 5LG 3 June 2013 Dear Mr Pascoe, Woolland Parish Meeting, North Dorset On 17 May, Woolland Parish Meeting voted unanimously to recommend that Woolland Parish be transferred from the Lydden Vale Ward to the Bulbarrow Ward of North Dorset District. The principal reasons for this recommendation are: 1. Geographical contiguity Woolland is on the east edge of the Lydden Vale ward, which also comprises Fifehead Nevllle, Hazelbury Bryan, Mappowder, Glanvilles Wootton, Pulham and Stoke Wake. Woolland is closer to Ibberton (in the Bulbarrow Ward) and has little connection with Hazelbury Bryan and the rest of the Lydden Vale ward situated farther west. 2. Common identity in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). As the attached map shows, most of Woolland Parish is within the Dorset AONB (shaded). Woolland and neighbouring Stoke Wake are the two Lydden Vale parishes materially within the AONB. The Bulbarrow Ward, on the other hand, is comprised almost entirely of AONB parishes that are situated along the North Dorset Chalk Escarpment which forms the backbone of the Dorset AONB, and the Wessex Ridgeway in North Dorset. Woolland's topography fits properly in the Bulbarrow Ward rather than being an oddity in the Lydden Vale ward. North Dorset District Council has the obligation under the Countryside Rights of Way Act 2000 to have regard to their duty to 'conserve and enhance' the AONB. The particular characteristics of the villages within the AONB will be better conserved and enhanced when the common identity and interests of the AONB parishes are more uniformly recognised. 3. Community identity Some of the more obvious common links between Woolland and Ibberton (in Bulbarrow Ward) are: * Woolland shares the same Village Hall (in Ibberton). * Woolland residents participate in running the Ibberton annual fair. Woolland is too small to have its own summer fair. * Woolland and Ibberton are both members of the Hillside Church Parishes. * The nearest public house to Woolland is the Crown Inn, in Ibberton, commonly frequented by Woolland residents. 4. Electoral equality. Woolland Parish is very small (only 43 dwellings) and a transfer to Bulbarrow Ward will have a negligible electoral effect on the wards concerned. In line with the Commission's aims, this proposal will retain good electoral equality, reflects community identities and interests and provides effective and convenient local government. If you should have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely John Holiday Chairman Woolland Parish Meeting Hill Farm House Woolland Dorset DT11 0ER .

Newsletter 74, November 2011
oooooo 2012 oooooooo TWO MEETINGS oooooo A Discussion Meeting has been arranged at Ely for Saturday 31 st March 2012. Glen Cavaliero has agreed to introduce the discussion, which will be on Owen Glendower Chapter 12 (‘Mathrafal’). Details from Sonia Lewis. A Powys Day at Dorchester is planned for Saturday 9th June. Frank Kibblewhite will deliver his postponed talk on Theodore and Llewelyn — Two Dorset Visionaries’ . More details in the March Newsletter, or contact ChrisThomas. Editorial The beauty of the Powys Society (as WJKeith says in his letter — p. XX) is its diversity, and this the Newsletter’s role should surely be to represent. Another happy conference is reported from different angles, by veterans and newcomers. The Llewelyn Walk was enjoyed as ever. A second instalment ofTheodore’s letters to his sisters comes from Mappowder in the 1940s. John Cowper appears as reviewer in 1928 of Proust, a writer whose indirect approaches and intense analysis might be thought to have echoes in JCP, if only to accentuate their differences. As David Gervais says, with JCP any influence is ‘likely to take the form of turning similar premises to quite different ends.’ We look back at the 1970s, with poems to JCP byTerry Diffey. Altogether elsewhere, Marcella H-P describes the Basque country as JCP might have seen it, an alternative Wales.

Assessment of Settlements Based on Population and Community Facilities
Appendix 1 North Dorset District Council Local Development Framework Assessment of Settlements Based on Population and Community Facilities Supporting Document to the Core Strategy: Issues and Options Paper May 2007 1.0 Introduction Scope and Purpose of the Report 1.1 In light of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and Planning Policy Statement 12: Local Development Frameworks, North Dorset District Council is undertaking evidence gathering work to assist in the preparation of its Local Development Framework (LDF), which will have regard to, and will contribute to, the achievement of sustainable development. 1.2 The main objective of this report is to identify and audit the current services and facilities presently found in all settlements within the District and the resident population of those settlements. This report will be used as part of the evidence base in the production of the Council’s Core Strategy. 1.3 This supporting document aims to generate options for the identification of sustainable settlements. These towns and villages will be the focus for future development and will be shown with a settlement boundary in the Council’s Core Strategy. 1.4 This report serves as only a part of the evidence base which will inform the production of the Council’s Core Strategy. Full stakeholder and community consultation will be undertaken, following the statutory requirements of the ‘new’ planning system, and the corporate objectives of the Council, in order that the final decisions made by the Council are fully informed by the views of the District’s communities. The Local Plan and Emerging Regional Spatial Strategy 1.5 A primary strategy of the Local Plan is to concentrate development, especially that defined as major, to the main settlements in the District.

Ibberton Millennium Book FINAL COPY.Pmd
Ibberton Village in the Year 2000 BY THE VILLAGE FOR THE VILLAGE THE VILLAGE VIEWED FROM THE CHURCH This is a record of the village of Ibberton in the Year 2000 told by the people who live here. Villagers’ accounts of their lifestyle provide a snapshot in time and comparisons are briefly drawn with bygone days. Ordinary annual events and activities provide a perspective on community life. There are also reports on the special projects and events that contributed to the Millennium Year Celebrations. ABRISTENTONA TO IBBERTON One thousand years ago the Doomsday Book records the Saxon name of our settlement as Abristentona, and over the years the name gradually developed into Ibberton. The village nestles in the lee of Bulbarrow Hill and evolved according to prevailing circumstances. In the early days lack of understanding about the techniques of land clearance and drainage resulted in the dwellings and cultivated land being sited on the lower chalk slopes and green sand immedi- ately around and below the church where numerous springs provided water. Evidence of the early settlement is found in the terraced slopes on the hillside above Manor House Farm. A knowledge of drainage and land clearance enabled the community to develop the lower ground where the major part of the village is now sited. The village has had many owners, the most historically famous was probably Henry VIII’s wife Catherine Howard, although there is no evidence that she ever resided at the Manor House. In the nineteen seventies the last large landowner, the Pitt Rivers family, sold off much of the land and houses into private ownership, but prior to that the farms and cottages would have been leased from the Estate.

News for June 2012
News for June 2012 Message from Alan Bracey, 1st June: Hello Bill/Pete. Afraid I'm off the bike again. My own stupid fault. While away in Cornwall, I dislocated my left hip again by bending and twisting like I had been told not to. Finished up in Truro hospital where they put it back in again. So its back to square one, no riding for 2 months, no driving for six weeks and countless b***kings from Jen when I try to do too much. I will keep in touch however and look forward to driving to some lunch stops.I may sound cheerful about the whole thing, but due to my own stupidity, I feel quite low at the moment. Alan Thursday 7th June 2012 - report from Bill Balchin: After several days of celebrations for the Queen's diamond jubilee it was our turn. Although Will.i.am did not show up we had the same poor weather to dampen a couple of dozen at the Castle Green bandstand for the start. John was expecting a photographer from the (Evening) Post and sure enough, just as we were about to leave he arrived to grab a few shots. I was pleased that he managed to arrange the group as I dashed out and grabbed one of my own, well it will save a few bob not buying a paper. One person not at the start was Pete Campbell who was being interviewed live on the John Darvall show on radio Bristol. John started off by asking if Pete liked being called an old time cyclist.
