What is a Neighbourhood Plan?
In a nutshell, a Neighbourhood Plan puts in place planning policy for a Designated Neighbourhood Area in order to guide and influence future growth and development.
A Steering Group oversees the process of creating the Plan and drives the progress of its production. Individual members of the Steering Group will lead on particular topic areas in line with their experience and expertise and also carry out public engagements throughout the Parish to get to hear YOUR views and what YOUR vision of the future of Corfe Mullen looks like.
The existence of a Neighbourhood Plan for Corfe Mullen relies totally on community involvement. In view of this, the Steering Group needs to know what you think. What is your vision for the future of Corfe Mullen?
Once completed and published, the Corfe Mullen Neighbourhood Plan will become an integral part of the Dorset Council Local Plan, thereby adding important local detail to strategic planning policies.
The Corfe Mullen Neighbourhood Plan will set out planning policies that protect our valued green spaces and viewpoints, while also promoting biodiversity. It will have influence over housing, in terms of size, scale and type, while conserving local character and protecting our heritage assets. Did you know we have twelve Grade II listed buildings in Corfe Mullen?
The Corfe Mullen Neighbourhood Plan will encourage sustainable transport, walking, cycling, and public transport. It will promote the Parish as a base for visitors; identify community facilities needed; support local businesses and attract new ones to the neighbourhood area.
