Dorset Local Plan Review
The consultation of the Dorset Council Local Plan has been scrutinised by a
working group of elected councillors that is making sure that the project keeps to
its objectives
The executive advisory panel (EAP) looking into this is a working group of elected
councillors, supported by officers that were tasked by Dorset Council’s Cabinet to
focus on areas of work to make sure that it is carried out according to the
council’s priorities. Any recommendations that the group makes have to be
agreed by the council’s Cabinet.

and received over 60,000 comments via the web form, posted paper copies or
via email, around 7,000 individuals responded. There was a good cross section of
residents from all age groups, from 11 years old to 85 years old. All the comments
