Planning

The Town Council is not a planning authority and as such does not make final decisions on planning applications; this is the responsibility of Dorset Council. However, the Town Council is a statutory consultee and as such receives all planning applications relating to the town wards for comment. All planning applications previous and current can be found on the Dorset Council Planning Portal.
