January 2018 January 2018
Once the Examiners report is received and any necessary amendments are
made, we will be in a position to go to referendum in about July 2018. This may
seem like a very lengthy process but it must be remembered that the final
document will be legally binding and sit alongside the Purbeck District Local Plan
until 2033 so it is very important that all aspects are considered in detail.
We will keep you posted on everything that is happening so please keep
checking the Parish Council web site at www.bereregisparishcouncil.co.uk.
Regular reports will be made at the monthly Parish Council meetings and in the
Parish Magazine and, if you have any queries or questions at any time, please
contact either a councillor or the Clerk.
We wish you all a very Happy New Year.

PURBECK DISTRICT COUNCIL REPORT

Unitary Proposals
At its meeting of Tuesday 12th December Purbeck
decided to drop its opposition to the proposals for a
unitary authority and will now work with the other
authorities to make this a success. I will report on
progress next month.

Local Plan Review

District Councillors recently attended a day of workshops relating to the Purbeck
Local Plan reviewing a series of new studies and papers which have now been
released to the public. These are available to the public and we expect there to
be further consultation on the overall plan in the spring. I and the Parish Council
Chair discussed our recent Neighbourhood Plan consultation event with Officers
to ensure they are aware of where we are in the process and that this is fully
taken into account when the consultation for the overall plan across the district
takes place.

Planning Changes

There are a raft of changes to the Planning system that the government is
suggesting are introduced to speed up the planning process. The bad news is
that it means there will be less control and checks on developers. When I have a
better idea of what is being suggested I will report back.
