At its meeting on 29th October 2018, North Dorset District Cabinet agreed that Pimperne’s Neighbourhood Plan should go to referendum. The Plan was finalised at the NDDC Full Council meeting on 25th January 2019. The Plan now forms part of planning policy. Congratulations to the Residents and Councillors of Pimperne for this important work. The Pimperne Neighbourhood Plan can be viewed via this link: https://www.dorsetforyou.gov.uk/planning-buildings-land/planning-policy/north-dorset/neighbourhood-planning/submitted-plans/pimperne-neighbourhood-plan.aspx

The Pimperne Neighbourhood Plan was submitted to North Dorset District Council Planning Policy Officer for checking and examination following the incorporation of amendments required as a result of the pre-submission consultation. Documents submitted for checking/examination can be found below, together with the responses received during the pre-submission consultation. The consultation finished on 22nd June 2018.

An independent examiner was appointed.

The public pre-submission consultation for Pimperne Neighbourhood Plan ran for six weeks from 10th November to 22nd December 2017. A public drop-in session took place on Saturday 25th November 2017 at the Village Hall. Members of the Neighbourhood Planning Group were available to answer any questions and there was an opportunity to make comment. Paper copies of the draft pre-submission plan were available. This was the final public consultation before the plan is submitted to an independent examiner.

The Options Consultation event was held on 24th September 2016 in the Village Hall, with subsequent submission of 115 completed resident questionnaires. In addition responses were received from Historic England, Natural England, Wessex Water, Environment Agency, Dorset County Council, North Dorset District Council, and the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Relevant comments from the preceding organisations have now been incorporated within the Neighbourhood Plan. The evidence base for the Neighbourhood Plan has been enhanced by completion of Local Green Spaces designation and the narrative review of the Options Consultation phase. Our Planning Consultant has now updated the Strategic Environmental Assessment and further inclusions within the Neighbourhood Plan in readiness for consultation on the Pre-Submission Draft Plan.

On Saturday 3rd June 2017 information regarding the three preferred housing sites was on display at the Village Coffee Morning followed by a short presentation and questions.

It is important that residents have an opportunity to ask questions about the potential sites and why they were chosen. A public consultation drop-in session took place on Thursday 6th July 2017 at Pimperne Village Hall. Parishioners had the opportunity to ask questions and make comments about the Plan. 35 comment forms were submitted which have been analysed; responses assisted in finalising the pre-submission draft for further consultation.
