Getting the Balance Right between Dorset’s Housing, Nature and the Countryside
Tuesday 9 June | 6:30 - 9:15pm | Online - REGISTER NOW on the Dorset CPRE website
The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. Dorset’s landscapes, waterways and biodiversity have suffered serious losses in the last 80 years and remain at risk from unrealistic housing targets and unconstrained development. How do we move from policy aims and promises to real environmental outcomes on the ground?
The conference aims to:
- Increase awareness and provide clarity and leadership ahead of the next round of Local Plans and major housing allocations
- Make attendees aware that nature and Dorset’s countryside are critically under threat
- Explore how local authorities, wildlife bodies, and communities can collaborate to secure better results
- Explore how a balance between nature recovery and development can be achieved under the planning system
- Look at the role CPRE can play in scrutiny, community engagement, and positive proposals
- Caring for nature supports the wellbeing of everyone, now and in future generations.
