Wishing you all a belated ‘Happy New Year’
The next CALM Meeting will be on Thursday 8th February 2018 – at the Rose & Crown & there’s lots to talk about.
As part of the Purbeck Local Plan Review, Purbeck District Council (PDC) is again seeking views on possible new planning policies relating to second homes, affordable homes and sites for new homes. All households and businesses in Purbeck should have received a special edition of ‘About Purbeck’ in January which contained details of the consultation and the questionnaire. If you have not received your questionnaire please contact Public Perspectives on 0800 533 5386 or purbeck@publicperspectives.co.uk
There is more information on the PDC website at https://www.dorsetforyou.gov.uk/Purbeck-local-plan-review and you can download the ‘About Purbeck’ details at : https://www.dorsetforyou.gov.uk/media/224482/New-Homes-for-Purbeck-Consultation-Document/pdf/Purbeck-local-plan-consultation-document-for-web-23-01-18.pdf
