Decision:

That the response agreed with the Cabinet member for Planning and Emergency Planning be endorsed.

 

Reason for the decision

 

It was important that Dorset Council engaged with New Forest District Council in the production of their Local Plan and sought to address any cross-boundary issues constructively. The response to the consultation on the emerging Local Plan was part of that on-going cooperation.

 

The draft response in Appendix A to the report of 21 April 2026 had been submitted to the New Forest District Council. This draft response had been agreed with the Cabinet member for Planning and Emergency Planning.

 

After consideration by Cabinet, contact would be made with the District Council to either confirm that the submitted response was final or to adjust the response and submit a revised version to supersede the original draft response.

Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Planning and Emergency Planning introduced the report and referred to the agreed response to the New Forest District Council’s Local Plan consultation, subject to formal Cabinet endorsement.

 

It was proposed by Cllr S Bartlett and seconded by Cllr N Ireland
