FOREWORD

We are fortunate in living in a unique environment encompassing as it does historic villages within a rural landscape. Whilst change is inevitable it is important that this does not impose itself negatively and without consideration of the existing.

I therefore have pleasure in commending our Neighbourhood Plan.

This important document covers the development of the Parish in the period to 2036 and forms part of the development plan for the area alongside the more strategic Local Plan for Dorset.

The plan sets out our Vision for the Parish and aims to contribute to sustainable development in 6 key areas – Environment, Climate Change and Water Management, Community Services, Facilities and Leisure, Housing, Business Services and the Economy, Traffic, Road Safety and Transport. Its production is a significant step for the community particularly as it has taken a number of years to complete.

The process to produce the plan is set out in the sections which follow.

The plan’s policies and the background to them are as a result of a lot of careful analysis and consultation on what is felt to be appropriate for the parish and are described in detail in this important document.

I would also emphasise that a comprehensive evaluation, covering in particular the housing needs and the availability of land for development, has been made by the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group and later, the YRIPC Working Group, in conjunction with our planning advisor and with officers from Dorset Council.

I would like to thank the many people who have put a lot of hard work and personal commitment into developing the plan and in particular the members of both the Steering Group and YRIPC Working Group and those residents who supported their efforts in one way or another. I would also like to thank Jo Witherden from Dorset Planning Consultant Ltd and Nick Cardnell from Dorset Council whose invaluable advice has been essential to this project.

The Parish Council is also grateful to Locality, the CPRE, the Yetminster Community Project and the Jubilee Hall Committee for their support and funding.

Finally, on behalf of the Parish Council I would like to thank all those residents who have participated in the various public consultation events, responded to the surveys, and have shown support, in one way or another, for this Neighbourhood Plan.
