09/107CORRESPONDENCE

  1. Update on the Local Development Framework

Due to the well publicised delays caused by the challenges to the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) the publication of the LDS and LDF will have to be delayed. The outcome of the RSS will have direct implications on the East Dorset and Christchurch Councils ability to publicise the update of the Local Plan. The whereabouts of the RSS document are currently unknown. The Councils were jointly going to publicise an amended timetable for the LDF but again this has been delayed but they intend carry on with progressing the core strategy despite these delays. It has been made clear by planning Inspectors that there is a requirement to progress the scheme as they will not look favourably if it is not continually progressed as they will deem this unacceptable.

It is very unlikely that the current publication date set for the LDF of Spring 2011 will be able to be met but the local authorities will continue to make progress pending the formalisation of the RSS.

Further information could be available later this month as the head of Forward Planning at East Dorset, Mr Richard Henshaw, could have more information to divulge and some additional thoughts on the current situation. A Press Release has been prepared by the various departments but, again they are waiting on the outcome of the RSS.

Proposal:Erect 12 dwellings, landscaping and alterations to existing access

  • The change of use would be detrimental to the amenity of the neighbouring properties due to the noise created by people arriving for the early morning services and also during the service itself
  • The use of a public right of way as means of access the site is wholly inappropriate
