The Blandford+ Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group, which includes Blandford St Mary and Bryanston is undertaking a Modification project to the Made Neighbourhood Plan 2013-2033.
Why? – The Made Plan gives our town and villages some protection from speculative development until 22nd June 2023, subject to Dorset Council continuing to meet certain thresholds. The new planning system continues to support Neighbourhood Plans and will take some time to become operational. The main purpose of pursuing modifications to the Made Plan is therefore to continue to secure the benefit of the protection from speculative development after 22nd June 2023.
