Southover Woods Campsite
An enforcement investigation is underway at Dorset Council as concerns have
been raised that this campsite is not general permitted development and
therefore planning permission should be sought.
The Parish Council has now received correspondence regarding the promotion of
campfires at the site. Councillors are concerned that there is a serious risk of
woodland fires if this is not carefully managed. It was agreed that these concerns
would be passed to the enforcement team at Dorset Council.

Throop Hollow Campsite
A Parish Councillor has been appointed to liaise with the Landowner. The
intention is to work through concerns that have been expressed by Parishioners to
the Parish Council. Several matters have so far been raised with the site owner
and the Parish Council is hoping for a positive response.

Southover Farm Slurry Lagoon

It is a condition of the planning permission that a community liaison group be
established to meet twice a year with the Landowner. The Parish Councils
affected by the development, Affpuddle & Turnerspuddle and Puddletown Area
Parish Council, have agreed a joint letter to the Landowner making suggestions
about how the group might be best formed together with a need for a Chairman.
Councillor Lizzie Guinn has been nominated to represent our Parish Council.
Under the planning condition the Landowner will need to submit a proposal for
the establishment of the group to Dorset Council for approval. It is very much
hoped that in doing so the preferences submitted to the Landowner jointly by
both Parish Councils will be taken into consideration.
