Purbeck Local Plan Consultation – New homes for Purbeck

Purbeck and Crossways residents are being urged to complete their New Homes
for Purbeck questionnaire before the deadline of 12 March. There are a number

In addition to these events, PDC has arranged an infrastructure drop-in event
which will take place from 2pm to 5pm on Thursday 1 March in the Council
Chamber at Westport House, Wareham. This event will offer an opportunity for
residents to speak with representatives from infrastructure providers such as Dorset
County Council and the NHS about how the proposals for new homes are likely to
impact local infrastructure provisions.
The Parish Council will be considering its response to the Local Plan Consultation
at its March meeting. (The Council has an extension to the deadline of 12
th

participation section of the meeting, which will start at 7pm in Briantspuddle

necessary to undertake the project. Unfortunately the Trust is not in a position to
fund the cleaning of the whole Memorial and as such the grant application will
necessarily limit the work to the panels on which the names of those who fell are
