Chris Loder with Michael Gove

West Dorset MP Chris Loder has hailed a ‘major step forward’ as the Department for Levelling Up, Communities and Housing and Communities has allocated Dorset Council £135k to rewrite the local plan only weeks after a crunch summit the MP held in Dorchester with the Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove, in which Mr Loder expressed the urgent need for Government support to rework the local plan to shelve the controversial 4000 home development on the land north of the county town. 

 

Chris said; “This support is a much-needed endorsement from the Government of my campaign against ‘Norchester’ and will mean we are one big step closer to achieving a local plan that really addresses the planning needs of Dorchester and West Dorset and protects our most beautiful countryside. “ 

 

The cash injection now secured will act as a project management resource to support planning policy allocation in Local Plan for the garden village and associated technical studies; design input and community engagement.
