People's Assemblies on the Dorset Local Plan

Act Now and Have Your Say! Help Create a Future Vision for Dorset : 
People's Assemblies on the Dorset Local Plan 

Caz Dennett says: "The Local Plan outlines the strategy for meeting the needs of the area such as housing, employment, community services and facilities including schools, shops, retail and leisure and is now out for public consultation which ends on 15 March 2021. 

The Plan will last at least until 2038, so will shape all development for the next 17 years – that’s a long time. And anything built in that time will leave a legacy lasting for several generations. We cannot afford to get it wrong.

Town and Parish Council’s across Dorset will be putting in submissions to the consultation. Some are also keen to hear everyone’s thoughts and ideas. So they asked if Assemblies could be arranged to do this. The Assemblies are open to all."

Please join one of our People’s Assemblies using these Zoom links: 
Sun 28th Feb 4pm-6pm - Dorchester Area 
Sat 6th March 2pm-4pm – Dorset wide 
Tues 2nd March 7.30pm - Corfe Castle Parish Council 

Come along and discuss with others. Everyone welcome! More information about these People's Assemblies is here.
Posters and social media banners are below and available to download or copy here.
Dorset Council says: “The plan directs development to the most suitable locations near to existing facilities, and detailed policies promote high quality development that respects and enhances the character of each local area. The plan also protects Dorset’s natural environment and contributes towards the mitigation and adaptation to climate change”. 

But where do you think things like new housing should be built? How many homes do we need? Is it the right housing e.g. how it’s built, materials used, rental or ownership, affordable, social, etc? 
  • How do we ensure we have jobs in the areas close to where we live? What sort of industry and jobs suit our areas? 
  • How will people travel in their community and between communities and towns? 
  • Will new buildings, homes and businesses meet the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions? 
  • Which areas should we protect as our natural environment, which should we re-wild or use for tree-planting?
We encourage everyone to take a look at the draft plan documentation and to put in their own consultation submission. And please come along to a People's Assembly!
