Dorset Council is proposing a new route to preparing its Local Plan after government changes to to planning rules, housing requirements and deadlines. The Dorset Council Cabinet will consider the proposal at its meeting, 28 July. If approved, Dorset Council will formally begin preparing its Local Plan this summer, under the new system, with an initial scoping consultation expected later this year.
DAPTC is in contact with the Planning department who intend to hold a webinar for parish and town councils later in the year to explain in more detail what this proposal could mean.
