  • 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.

    Numbers of Ancient Yews in Britain aged between 2 and 5,000 years. Britain and in particular Wales, has the largest number of ancient yews in the world (158 at the most recent count). Although there are still undiscovered yews, we now believe that in Wales, there are at least 31 yews aged at 2,000 years plus, 11 of 3,000 years plus, 1 at 4,000 years plus and 3 at 5,000 years plus, totalling 46 yews aged at over 2,000 years, in Wales. In the rest of Britain we have recorded 111 yews aged at over 2,000 years. This total is made up of 76 yews aged at 2,000 years plus, 32 at 3,000 years plus, 3 at 4,000 years plus and 1 at 5,000 years plus. Numbers of ancient yews for the whole of Britain therefore total at least 158. These figures are based on current information and may expand further.
