Update on advertising planning applications in the former North Dorset area and part of the former West Dorset area

We have been notified that the Blackmore Vale Magazine has suspended publication for a temporary period due to the Covid-19 situation. Any planning applications requiring press advertisements that would normally be advertised in the Blackmore Vale Magazine will be publicised in the Western Gazette instead from 24 April. This affects the former North Dorset area and part of the former West Dorset area only.

This will be taken into account when deciding a planning application or on an appeal against a planning decision.
