Dorset National Park and your business

• the opportunities a Dorset National Park offers our communities, economy and environment;
• the wide-ranging supportive resolution agreed in January by Weymouth & Portland Borough Council;
• how a National Park would be a close and supportive partner to the Dorset Council. It could be a delivery arm for the Council on the environment and other relevant functions, and bring central government funding to this role, thus freeing scarce Council time and resources for other priorities;
• how it would benefit farmers and landowners – as in the South Downs National Park.

The Newsletter also answers your questions including on delivering the homes Dorset needs, and offers an “At A Glance” summary of the benefits of a National Park.

• Dorset CPRE’s support for the National Park proposal and its wish that the area of the National Park should, subject to meeting the designation criteria, align with that of the Dorset Council. The CPRE is assembling evidence to support its case. The National Park Team welcomes CPRE’s vision and support:
