The Parish Council met on Thursday 8th August 2019 at the Drax Hall. 11 members
th
of the public were present. The next meeting will be on Thursday 12 September
at the Drax Hall, starting at 7pm. All parishioners are very welcome to attend and
to take the opportunity to raise any matters or concerns at the start of the
meeting.

Planning Applications
The parish council considered two planning applications that had attracted
public interest, some of whom were in attendance at the council meeting to
comment.

The council voted to object to application 6/2019/0273 for the erection of a new
dwelling in the beer garden at the Drax Arms on the basis that, contrary to what
was stated in the application, the beer garden is still in beneficial use; the Drax
Arms has been listed as a community asset in the recently adopted
neighbourhood plan; the scale of the proposed dwelling is considered to be out
of keeping with the site and surroundings, while; visibility and access to the
parking area is considered to be inadequate. Neighbours and users of the Drax
Arms are encouraged to make their own representations to Dorset Council.

The council voted not to object to application 6/2019/0372 at 1 Shitterton. This
application seeks to regularise the existing planning situation, which comprises a
mixed-use situation with a dwelling-house with garden, land and commercial. The
parish council were satisfied that these activities have been carried out for a
period in excess of 10 years. If approved by Dorset Council the consent will not
allow for any intensification of use.
