Studland Snippets

Studland Parish Council - The Parish Council has agreed with village
organisations’ arrangement for the display of advertising A Boards. This agreement may
well see a limit to one A Board per village business. You may now see less of these
visual intrusions in the village.
No arrangements are yet in place to celebrate the coronation of the King in May .

The National Trust will be applying to reroute the South West Coastal path up the zig zag path into the car park due to the erosion
of the beach in front of the former café.

There has been positive feedback on the new café run by the Salt Pig.

The Parish Council agreed to establish two signs on footpath 13 leading from Woodhouse Cottages towards Ballard Down. There will
be further discussions with Dorset Council and the National Trust about rerouting the path from the Obelisk towards Currendon
Bottom.

The Purbeck Society - There will be a presentation in May to the Friends of Durlston Castle. This will cover the history of the
Purbeck Society and the current activities.
The Purbeck Society remains concerned with the potential redevelopment of both the former Haymans shop front in Institute Road
and Harrow House. The Purbeck Society favours more active engagement with developers so that the character of Swanage is not
compromised by inconsiderate developments out of keeping with the character of the area.

th
The next talk will be on the 10 of May in the Mowlem Insititute at 14.30pm. Details of the topic will be made available on the
website of the Purbeck Society and its Facebook page.
CPRE, the Countryside Charity - The Dorset branch has submitted a bid to gain support for the Great Dorset Hedge project.
This bid will be with the Dorset Climate Action Network. If successful, the bid will assist in establishing additional hedging as well as
thicker hedges.

The Dorset branch are seeking expertise in ecology to assist with their work. In addition, a paid job for planning consultations and
communication is advertised on the Dorset CPRE website. The Dorset branch are responding to the national consultation on the
National Planning Policy Framework. This response has an emphasis on the need for local, low cost housing for the residents of
Dorset and key workers. In addition, the response questions the notion of ever-increasing growth as this has harmful effects on the
environment.
The National Office are drawing up a response for the consultation on the National Planning Policy Framework. This response is
likely to emphasise the need for sustainable planning for communities as well as for planning to fully embrace transport, clean rivers,
and measures to tackle climate change,
