Western Extension of North East Purbeck Consultation

In January 2008, an independent panel reviewing the draft Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) recommended 5,150 dwellings be built in Purbeck by 2026, a 146% increase from 2,100 dwellings proposed in the draft RSS. 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. The Council 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 and the questionnaire was made available on the website for anyone in the District to comment. The consultation ran from 9 June 2008 to 8 August 2008.

This consultation has now closed.
