A main part of the Plan is to prepare and deliver the evidence base upon which the policies are constructed. The starting point is the identification of themes and issues of most importance to the community together with an examination of Dorset Council’s Emerging Local Plan and Policies. The reach is wider capturing the various organisations linked to the impacts of development in the area. Whether identifying views to be retained, or road safety there will be a extensive examination of how the communities ambitions can be realised through existing local area policies, or special measures such as a design guide to ensure the scope of building and look of our villages are maintained.
