I suppose its natural to compare one year with another, after all we have to do it in all our financial and business dealings and Telephone 01929 471022 even in Church and in our schools. We need a yardstick to measure ourselves. In 76 Church website: www.bereregiswith1 affpuddle.org.uk January 2008 January 2008 our own community 2007 has been a year of joys and sorrows; for some there will be an effort to move on in to a more positive future and for others a reluctance to leave the past behind. We are all different and this difference is what makes family and community and nation and commonwealth. But what is it that we hold in DATES FOR common? Politically both nationally and internationally it will be another year of change? It will certainly be another year of challenge. In the Church of England YOUR DIARY we will have the joy of hosting the 10 yearly Lambeth Conference at Canterbury in July for which we wonder and pray about unity in the Church and how we can demonstrate and share God’s love with our fellow Anglicans – and all mankind - I fervently hope we can. Then there will be the Olympic Games in China in August June and I ponder about political harmony and opportunities that sporting contests Gardening club, Annual outing. Venue and date tbc often bring into sharp focus. I know from my own experience that given China’s 6th, 7th, 8th Flower Festival at Affpuddle church considerable involvement in Sudan, will the Bejing Olympics be used to highlight 23rd PiP Village Quiz 7.30 p.m. China’s fuelling of the neo-genocide in Darfur or will this ongoing tragedy be settled soon with the joint African Union/United Nations Force? It should be one of our prayers for the New Year. No part of life is free from observation or critical July judgement. 1st Gardening club, Lady Brewer, Babs Dodwell 5th Affpuddle Church fete and Dog Show So thinking about comparisons year by year, I’ve been quite busy this past year with the schools in our Benefice. Sandford Middle School had it’s inspection this 13th Pop in Place, Bere Regis Open Gardens 10.00 am - 5.00 pm past year and was officially ‘Good’, with some ‘Outstanding’ features; but we have been further encouraged not only by this Ofstead report but also by our Key August Stage 2 results – the statutory test for our 10 year olds – in this we had exceptional 5th Gardening club, Barbecue at Shitterton Farmhouse results and we are the best Middle school in Dorset for KS2 in 2007. Then we had 15th 22nd 29th PiP Children’s Summer Activities 10.00 am - 11.45 am our statutory Church inspection which found Sandford Middle to be officially ‘outstanding’. All this is hugely gratifying and congratulations and thanks are due to Rob Graham the Head and all the staff and pupils. But it is important to September remember that all inspections are only a snapshot taken at one particular moment 2nd Gardening club, Chrysanthemums, Bob Symes in time. 6th PiP Perfomer of the Year Competition 7.00 p.m. We cannot be certain of how 2008 will go but we will do our best – and that is all that God asks of us – our best for him and October one another. 7th Gardening club, Plum Harvest Supper , slide show by Peter Whittaker 18th PiP Jumble sale and mini auction 2.00 p.m. A very Happy New Year, With love and prayers PS. Some of you may have noticed that Bere Regis Church is now lit throughout November the night. This may seem extravagant but I hope you will understand that we have 4th Gardening club, Winter in the garden, Simon Goldsack had to take emergency measures. Many of you will, I hope be aware that like a 14th PiP Children in Need 10.00 am - 12.00 noon number of Churches and Schools our Church in Bere Regis has had lead stolen from its roof and we have to prevent it happening again. We have installed December cameras and a cctv system and placed prominent signs on the gates. The lead that was stolen was placed there in 1907 – 100 years ago. I find it surprising and 2nd Gardening club, landscape gardening and Christmas plants disappointing that some people are seemingly resigned to the inevitability of such 13th PiP Christmas Show 7.00 p.m. criminal theft. We have had a ‘crime number’ from the Police but no further word from them and the risk of repeat thefts is very high. Lytchett Matravers Church has been raided five times! So could I ask you all to keep a good look out; report any suspicious vehicles or people to the police and let Bob Croom and Peter Wharf the Churchwardens know. This is our Church – yours and mine and we want to keep the Churchyard and the Church open2 to all. 75 January 2008 THE PARISHES OF BEREJanuary REGIS 2008 AND AFFPUDDLE DATES FOR The Vicar The Rev’d Canon Ian Woodward The Vicarage, Bere Regis, BH20 7HQ YOUR DIARY Tel 01929 471262 ([email protected]) 2008 Church Officials – Bere Regis Licensed Lay Brenda Pitfield, Hillbutts, Bere Regis, BH20 7HZ 471391 January Minister 7th Pop in Place re-opens 10.00 a.m Church Wardens Bob Croom, 1, Bitchams Mead, Bere Regis, BH20 7ND 471905 8th Gardening club - New Year Party ([email protected]) 11th Pop in Place Bring and Buy Sale 10.00 a.m Peter Wharf, The Old Vicarage, Bere Regis BH20 7HQ 12th Pop in Place New Year Disco 7.30 p.m. - 11.00 p.m. ([email protected]) 472246 Secretary of PCC Chris Maunder, 15 North Street, Bere Regis BH20 7LA 471342 February ([email protected]) 5th Gardening club - Daffodils, John Blanchard.

  • The Poole Harbour Status List

    The Poole Harbour Status List

    The Poole Harbour Status List Mute Swan – Status – Breeding resident and winter visitor. Good Sites – Seen sporadically around the harbour but Poole Park, Hatch Pond, Brands Bay, Little Sea, Ham Common, Arne, Middlebere, Swineham and Holes Bay are all good sites. Bewick’s Swan Status – Uncommon winter visitor. Once a regular winter visitor to the Frome Valley now only arrives in hard or severe winters. Good Sites – Along the Frome Valley leading to Wareham water meadows and Bestwall Whooper Swan Status – Rare winter visitor and passage migrant Good Sites – In the 60’s there were regular reports of birds over wintering on Little Sea, however, sightings are now mainly due to extreme weather conditions. Bestwall, Wareham Water Meadows and the harbour mouth are all potential sites Tundra Bean Goose Status – Vagrant to the harbour Taiga Bean Goose Status – Vagrant to the harbour Pink-footed Goose Status – Rare winter visitor. Good Sites – Middlebere and Wareham Water Meadows have the most records for this species White-fronted Goose Status – Once annual, but now scarce winter visitor. Good Sites – During periods of cold weather the best places to look are Bestwall, Arne, Keysworth and the Frome Valley. Greylag Goose Status – Resident feral breeder and rare winter visitor Good Sites – Poole Park has around 10-15 birds throughout the year. Swineham GP, Wareham Water Meadows and Bestwall all host birds during the year. Brett had 3 birds with collar rings some years ago. Maybe worth mentioning those.

Middlebere late summer can host up to 200 birds with other large gatherings at Arne, Brownsea Island, Swineham, Greenland’s Farm and Brands Bay.
  • Piddle Valley Conservation Area Review

    Piddle Valley Conservation Area Review

    Item 14 Council Meeting – 16 January 2018 Piddle Valley Conservation Area review 1. Purpose of report The purpose of this report is to seek the Council’s approval to adopt the draft appraisal and boundary proposal prepared for Piddle Valley Conservation Area. 2. Key issues 2.1 The Council designates and reviews conservation areas in fulfilment of statutory duties under Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Purbeck District has twenty five Conservation Areas, twenty-two of which have been appraised and reviewed since their designation, twenty-one of these since 2008. 2.2 A conservation area is a historic built environment designation. The designation promotes the preservation and enhancement of groups of buildings and structures which hold special historic or architectural interest, together with associated spaces and trees. This is primarily achieved through the sensitive management of change within the planning process. 2.3 Paragraph 127 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) highlights the importance of ensuring that conservation area designations are justified. This is the key objective of the boundary review, and ensures fairness in the application of controls, and soundness in case of appeal against planning decisions. 2.4 The Council has a statutory duty to consider the impact of planning proposals upon conservation areas. This is reflected in paragraph 129 of the NPPF, which requires local planning authorities to assess the significance of heritage assets as part of the development management process. Assessment of significance is a key objective of conservation area character appraisals, and therefore provides the Council with an important part of the required evidence base in decision making.

After the War Office requisitioned their principal home and Estate at Tyneham for the War effort in 1943, Ralph & Evelyn Bond moved to Moigne Combe. Following his retirement from the Army in 1972, their son, Major-General Mark Bond took over the running of the Estate and pursued an active public life. He lived there happily, surrounded by the Moigne Combe Woods and the tranquillity he loved, until his death in 2017. The Moigne Combe Estate is a privately situated, picturesque estate located just 6 miles from Dorchester, comprising a substantial 10 bedroom manor house, a further four- bedroom detached Stable House and two let cottages.

    Arne Neighbourhood Plan 2018-2034

    Neighbourhood Plans: DECISION STATEMENT 24 September 2020 ARNE NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2018-2034 Dorset Council is satisfied that the Arne Neighbourhood Plan 2018-2034, as modified, meets the basic conditions, is compatible with the Convention rights and complies with the definition of a neighbourhood development plan. A referendum will therefore be held. The date of the referendum is to be confirmed. Background The Arne Neighbourhood Area was designated by the former Purbeck District Council on 29th October 2013 and then re-designated by Dorset Council on 14th August 2019, following a change to the Parish boundary, in accordance with Part 2 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (the ‘Regulations’). The relevant body is confirmed as Arne Parish Council and the designated neighbourhood area covers Arne civil parish. In June 2019 Arne Parish Council submitted its draft neighbourhood plan and supporting material to Dorset Council. Dorset Council was satisfied that the documents submitted met the requirements of Regulation 15 of the ‘Regulations’. The Parish Council was notified of Dorset Council’s conclusion and informed that the plan could proceed to examination. The submitted documents were made available for consultation from 23rd August 2019 until 4th October 2019 and an independent examiner, Jill Kingaby BSc (Econ) MSc MRTPI, was appointed to examine the Plan. The examiner’s report was received on 26th March 2020. In summary, the examiner’s report concluded that the Arne Neighbourhood Plan 2018 to 2034 would meet the basic conditions and other legal requirements, subject to her recommended modifications as set out in Appendix A of this decision statement.

Excluding listed places of worship, for which the survey is still incomplete,1,150 assets have been removed for positive reasons since the Register was launched in 2008.The sites that remain at risk tend to be the more intractable ones where solutions are taking longer to implement. While the overall number of buildings at risk has fallen, the average conservation deficit for each property has increased from £260k (1999) to £370k (2012).We are also seeing a steady increase in the proportion of buildings that are capable of beneficial re-use – those that have become redundant not because of any fundamental lack of potential, but simply as the temporary victims of the current economic climate. The South West headlines for 2012 reveal a mixed picture. We will continue to fund Monument Management It is good news that 8 buildings at risk have been removed Schemes which, with match-funding from local authorities, from the Register; less good that another 15 have had to offer a cost-effective, locally led approach to tackling be added.
