Minutes of the Meeting of LYTCHETT MATRAVERS PARISH COUNCIL
Wednesday 23rd February 2022 at 7:00 in the Village Hall.
PRESENT were A Bush (Council Chair), V Abbott, M Attridge, B Barker, A Huggins, M Colvey, H Khanna, K Korenevsky, K Morgan, P Webb and Mr T Watton (Parish Clerk).
Also present: Dorset Cllr A Starr, and two members of the public.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION SESSION (Standing orders suspended)
A resident of Glebe Road asked when the next NP2 meeting would be taking place. Cllr Bush advised that this was scheduled for mid-March. He also explained that the work would start with the appointed consultant in week commencing 28th February 2022. He emphasised that the focus of the work with the consultant was the updating of the Lytchett Matravers Neighbourhood Plan, rather than anything further on the PLP or the application from Wyatts for the 95 dwellings. Indeed, he explained that the Consultant had stated that there was no further appropriate action which could be taken on the PLP. Consequently Cllr Bush explained that the agenda of the forthcoming NP2 Working Group meeting would not include anything related to the PLP or the Wyatts planning application.
Notwithstanding this, the resident reiterated his concerns about the PLP and the Wyatts application. Cllr Morgan reminded him that the Parish Council had also appointed a Barrister to advise on the possibility of pursuing a Judicial Review of the PLP, within 6 weeks of its adoption, if there are sufficient grounds for doing so. This would concern whether the PLP was legal and sound and not on the selection of sites for development.

Neither is the case officer identified. It was RESOLVED to DEFER consideration of it.

13. To consider planning application P/FUL/2022/00806 Deans House Deans Drove Lytchett Matravers Dorset BH16 6EQ. Sever land adjacent Dean House and erect new detached dwelling; create new vehicular access.
The Parish Council had no objection to the principle of development on this site, however significant concerns were expressed about this specific proposal due to its positioning close to the stream. The Council wished to OBJECT to this proposal on the grounds of the detrimental effect of the building and hard surfacing on the current natural attenuation of surface water into the stream – which is likely to cause an increased flood risk, as well as damage to / loss of natural habitat.

APPENDIX 1
Report to Lytchett Matravers Parish Council for 23 February 2022
From Cllr Alex Brenton
Dorset Council Budget
February 15th 2022 was the first face to face full Dorset Council Meeting for two years. It will be in the old Council Chamber with new IT so should be accessible by webcast for the keen to follow proceedings. It is the budget setting meeting. Although I am not happy with the layout of the budget and feel opportunities to change have not been followed through, I do not have a fully costed alternative so will not be voting against unless something surprising pops up. The proposal is to accept the recommended rise of 2% for Social Care /National Health and to raise another 3% on general precept. This is only balanced if using reserves classes as balanced. However since the original figures were announced there has been a larger than expected payment from Central government of which some so 4Million has been put into ‘Contingencies’ budget –is not immediately needed. Dorset Council has put out information about why although Dorset already has a higher than National Average Council Tax it is going to raise t higher.
Our budget explained – I thought a single unitary council was going to save money? – YouTube
Dorset Local Plan.
The Dorset councillor leading on planning in the county, Cllr Walsh has been labelled obdurate and set in his ways, not prepared to listen to alternative views by Giles Watts who leads the Dorset CN response to the Dorset Local Plan.
However, Leader of the council Spencer Flowerin a letter to Government ministers and officials, is seeking a change to the national planning framework.
“The current method all councils follow is about chasing housing targets, set nationally, rather than being based on sustainability and local needs in Dorset.
The council received an unprecedented 9,000 responses when we consulted on the draft Local Plan. We have listened carefully to respondents’ views and we are being proactive in our approach.
We need a bold and ambitious alternative to the way we develop our new Local Plan, and I am in discussion with Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. I have proposed that Dorset Council pilots a radically different approach, one that gives us protection from over-development, recognises the climate and ecological emergency and the need for the right housing, in the right place, at the right quality with the necessary infrastructure and local services.”
PLANS to build an oil well in the Dorset countryside are back in the spotlight – with campaigners again adding their objections to the scheme.
The application to drill a vertical oil well just off the A354 Puddletown to Blandford road a mile north of historic Athelhampton House was first submitted in December 2019 by South Western Energy Ltd (SWEL). The council is currently in the process of considering an application for an oil well off the Athelhampton Road near Puddletown, which had attracted dozens of objections.
Campaigners have recently been out in Dorchester asking people to object to the application from Southwestern Energy, the deadline for comments expiring earlier this month.
The company claim in their submission that the well will reduce carbon emissions by offsetting the carbon footprint of having to import oil to the UK.
Vulnerable mothers to be given life-changing support
Dorset Childrens’ Services under the leadership of Theresa Leavy are being very active and planning on putting out more training and support for families and carers, details are coming on of new priorities and a determination not to fail our cared for children or vulnerable mothers
DORSET Council has proposed to withdraw its management from the Queen Elizabeth Leisure Centre, despite overwhelming support to keep the current arrangement. Council officials said it could not justify spending “so much public money” on a centre it did not own, but would work with Queen Elizabeth’s School (QE) to find a sustainable alternative. This will involve helping the school find alternative funding opportunities, making the current facilities more widely available and providing support and guidance for any users who may need to make alternative arrangements for their activities if necessary.
Poorest households face financial ‘catastrophe’ in April as cost of living increases
The UK’s poorest households are facing a financial “catastrophe” from April due to energy price caps and the increase in national insurance payments, MPs have been told. Economists told the Commons Treasury Select Committee that while the whole country would be “squeezed” due to cost-of-living pressures, it will be those who have lost the £20 Covid uplift in Universal Credit who will be impacted most.
STARS Dorset has been awarded additional funding to provide a dedicated ISVA to engage and support anyone affected by sexual abuse, focusing on reaching and supporting older people throughout Dorset. The post is initially offered on a Fixed Term Contract for 2 years.
Dorset Council has been channelling grants from central government to deserving causes.
Residents in need, including vulnerable families, have been receiving help with the cost of food, heating and other essentials this winter.
funding has been given to Citizen’s Advice and Age UK to provide additional support to vulnerable households.
Valuable packages of support have been issued to our care leavers to assist with food and winter clothing costs.
Supporting vulnerable families directly through our Children’s Services locality teams. Funding is available to help with food, energy bills and other household essentials.
Support for residents experiencing homelessness is being distributed through a grant agreement with the Lantern Trust.
£90,000 has been allocated to support foodbanks,
The Capital Leverage Fund can help fund a range of projects, including village hall or community building enhancements, renovations, maintenance, or new build projects, including car parks, play areas, multi-use games areas, theatres, community sports clubs, sports pitches and landscaping, also applications for projects that helps to address climate change themes, new public art, or heritage capital projects including accredited museums.
Planning matters
The East Dorset Planning committee referred an application in Swanage which sought to drop all requirements for Affordable housing from an application on the former St Marys School site. Sadly when it returned to the committee in February the committee voted majority in favour.
I voted against as the precedent set will be used by developers to push away other commitments for affordable housing on the excuse that they will not make enough profit on the site.
There have been many comments that the lack of yellow planning notices means many residents are unaware of planning applications by nearby houses.
I feel that the rash of planning applications for barns on small ‘farms’ in the Greenbelt around Lytchett Matravers will lead in a couple of years to applications for conversion into dwellings. This is an obvious loophole in the regulations.
Most of the items which come to Strategic Planning Committee are regarding large Solar Farms, which are being looked at kindly. A recharge station on the Blandford – Dorchester road was agreed as it is felt that with the increase of Electric cars out of town charging facilities are going to be needed.
Waste Collections
I hope that the regular requests that any information about problems with waste collection have had some effect. A flyer was to be delivered to some properties in Palmerston road as poor parking had blocked access to collecting bin lorries on numerous occasions.
