Western Extension of North East Purbeck Consultation
In January, an independent panel reviewing the draft Regional
Spatial Strategy (RSS) recommended 5,150 dwellings be built in
Purbeck by 2026. This is a 146% increase from 2,100 dwellings
proposed in the draft RSS – the largest percentage increase in the
south west. 2,750 of these extra dwellings are proposed for the
Green Belt around Lytchett Matravers, Lytchett Minster and Upton as
an extension of Poole into Purbeck.
Government will be consulting on these
proposals later in the summer. In preparation for this the Council
is seeking views on the proposal that can be fed back to the
Secretary of State. The Council has prepared a Core Strategy Issues
and Options questionnaire seeking views on the proposals.
Every household in Lytchett Matravers,
Lytchett Minster and Upton was sent a questionnaire.
However all Purbeck residents and organisations are encouraged to
respond by downloading the questionnaire below or by following the
link and completing the online response form.
This consultation has now closed. A
report is now being prepared for submission to the Secretary of
State in the Autumn.
