WELCOME TO THE WOOL PARISH NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN WEBSITE

​

THE DRAFT WOOL PARISH NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN IS NOW READY FOR YOU TO READ AND TELL US WHAT YOU THINK OF IT

 

The plan was commissioned by Wool Parish Council and written by local residents. It doesn’t propose any houses but attempts to exercise some control over what we, as a parish, get from The Purbeck Local Plan and identifies other improvements to the parish. If you want to know what a Neighbourhood Plan is and how our plan relates to Dorset Council’s Local Plan, then please visit the ABOUT page on this website

 

If you want to know how the Wool Parish Neighbourhood Plan was created, then please visit the PAST page on this website

 

The plan, created by local volunteers, sets out the following objectives and contains policies to achieve those objectives:

 

  • Through good design, new development should be sustainable, and should respect and enhance the existing character of Wool Parish.

  • Housing provision in Wool Parish should be tailored to meet the needs of residents.

  • Community infrastructure and services should be protected and improved.

  • Active travel and public transport connections between settlements in Wool Parish and with other key towns must be improved.

  • Green Infrastructure and Biodiversity must be protected and should be improved.

 

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN IS NOT A WAY TO STOP DEVELOPMENT BUT CAN HOPEFULLY SHAPE IT. 

​
