Find out the latest information about the Purbeck Local Plan
We are reviewing the Purbeck Local Plan. Once adopted, the plan will be used to approve or refuse planning applications and will set out the vision and objectives for the Purbeck area. We set out our timetable for preparing planning policy documents in the Local Development Scheme.
Beverley Doward BSc, BTP, MRTPI was appointed as an independent planning inspector by the Planning Inspectorate to undertake an examination of both the Purbeck Local Plan and the CIL Charging Schedule however Ms Doward retired in early 2022.
The new inspectors for the plan are Susan Heywood and Gareth Wildgoose and the CIL Charging Schedule will be examined by Jameson Bridgwater.
Helen Nolan is the Programme Officer; she assists the inspector in ensuring the smooth and efficient running of the examination process.
Local plan examinations and the planning issues that they deal with can be complex. The Planning Inspectorate have prepared a short guide for those who may be participating in an examination for the first time. If you have any further queries relating to the process of examining the Purbeck Local Plan please contact the Programme Officer.

Any queries about the examination should be sent to Helen Nolan, the Programme Officer.
