Dorset Council has received an application from Queen Thorne Parish Council to amend the Queen Thorne Neighbourhood Area by retaining the parish of Trent but excluding the parishes of Over Compton, Nether Compton and Sandford Orcas. The Neighbourhood Area will subsequently be referred to as Trent Neighbourhood Area. The consultation period will commence on Friday 4 August and end on Friday 15 September 2023.
Neighbourhood areas have to be approved by the local planning authority and as part of the process a minimum 6 week consultation period is required where the application area is not wholly administered by a Parish Council to give interested parties the opportunity to make comments.
Copies of the application, together with details of how to make comments can be found here.
As an adjoining parish, we have been asked to publicise this consultation on any parish notice boards, parish website / magazine and local community venues (such as post office/shop/village hall), to raise awareness of it locally.
If you wish to comment on the area application, please do so by Friday 15 September 2023.
