Residents vote overwhelmingly to adopt Neighbourhood Plan
On May 4th the residents of the parish of Lytchett Matravers voted overwhelmingly (1240 yes; 90 no) to adopt the Lytchett Matravers Neighbourhood Plan. This was the culmination of over 3 years work by the planning group and was a very welcome result. It gives the planning team and the Parish Council a firm mandate to have a say in local planning matters, both with Purbeck District Council and with developers.
We may be a small player, but we are now a player!
Many thanks from all the Neighbourhood Planning Group for all your votes and support.

Update: Official notice of Referendum
The Lytchett Matravers Neighbourhood Planning Group submitted the plan to Purbeck District Council in December 2015. Since then it has been sent for consultation throughout Purbeck and has now been reviewed by an external examiner. The examiner’s report has now been accepted by Purbeck District Council and the date for the parish referendum set for May 4th, 2017.
The referendum is the final stage in the plan evolution and is the opportunity for Lytchett Matravers residents to vote for the plan and to have the plan legally adopted by Purbeck District Council.
The Parish Council will be distributing a Lytchett Link nearer the time to remind all and to set out the benefits of having a neighbourhood plan for the village. Those benefits are having a direct say in the type of development in and around the village, ensuring that the published design principles for any development are adhered to and for obtaining the Community Infrastructure contributions from any development to be used to improve and enhance the village for all residents.
