North Dorset District Council recommended a number of Main Modifications to the Local Plan Part 1

Main Modifications Consultation - took place from 24 July to 18 September 2015.

What are Main Modifications?

The Local Plan was submitted for examination to the Secretary of State in December 2014 and the Planning Inspector, Mr David Hogger, was appointed to carry out the examination. Following examination hearing sessions which took place in March 2015.
