Dorset Council Local Plan

We have been forwarded a copy of the Dorset Council Local Plan Options document which has a consultation period of 18 August to 13 October 2025. Once I have more information on this I will pass this on to you all. Bishops Caundle has been identified as one of a number of potential sites for development and this is in appendix A. Please note that appendix A is too large a document for the website so we have screenshot the relevant pages. 

These documents can be found online at www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/dorset-is-changing and at County Hall, Dorchester during normal opening hours. The options consultation document (though not the appendices) will also be available in Dorset libraries. A copy will be placed in the shop once all relevant information has been received. 

We would like to stress that this is still at consultation stage and councillors are also awaiting more details but feel it is important that you are aware of proposals.
