Decision
(a) That the findings of the Landscapes
Review be noted
Note: It is important to stress that Dorset Council was unable to
contribute to the Review’s “call for evidence” as it was only created on 1
April 2019.
(b) That
council would engage with the Government concerning its response to the
Landscapes Review particularly in regard to any proposal which would change the
current designation and landscape management arrangements within Dorset.
(c) That the contents of the desktop study
set out in Appendix A be noted;
(d) That
having committed to put in place a new local plan by 2024 this should remain
the Council’s highest planning land use priority and that the council should
not be distracted from this by any reconsideration of statutory planning powers
and responsibilities in Dorset following the Landscape Review.
