19/6/2020

 
BCP Council has forwarded the attached notices about provisional street closures in the Old Town, including a section of the Quay and the lower High Street. A map is included at the bottom of the notice ‘Letter to Residents’.
The streets in question will be closed to vehicular traffic during the hours of 10:00 am to 10:00 pm for up to an 18 month trial period from, 27th June 2020.
This topic has been discussed by the Forum many times over the past 8 years. This trial period is an opportunity to extract data which will give BCP a clear indication of support or not for this scheme.
If you have any comments positive or negative, we recommend that you submit them as per the instructions detailed in the ‘Letter to Residents’.

22 February 2017 - Council Confirm Neighbourhood Plan is Made

22/2/2017

 
The Trustees have issued the following press statement.

POOLE’S NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN IS MADE!
 
Following the very positive result from the Neighbourhood Plan Referendum on 2nd February, Poole Borough Council confirmed last night that the Poole Quays Forum’s Plan is now officially ‘made’. This means that, with immediate effect, the Plan becomes part of the Development Plan for the area. Going forward, developers working within the Plan area will have to demonstrate they have taken into account the aims and policies set out in the Plan when preparing their planning applications.
 
PQF Trustees have commented “We are delighted that the Poole Quays Forum Neighbourhood Plan has now been adopted by the Council and will form part of the Development Plan for the area.
 
It has been a long, and at times challenging, but always interesting project. We would like to thank the many people who have invested their time, energy and expertise in this successful outcome. It has been a real community effort, with local residents, business people, and planning professionals all volunteering their time to the cause. We are also grateful to the Borough for their assistance in guiding us through the process.
 
Now that the Neighbourhood Plan is made part of the Development Plan we look forward to working constructively with developers, Council planners, local businesses and the community in achieving the aims and objectives of the Plan, to make this area a better place in which to work, live and play.”

Statement released to Bournemouth Echo (26/9/2016)
INSPECTOR WELCOMES POOLE’S NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN
At a meeting of Poole Quays Forum last night (20.09.16), members were thrilled to hear that their draft Neighbourhood Plan had received a positive response from the Department of the Environment’s inspectorate. Borough of Poole’s Head of Planning, Stephen Thorne, made the announcement during a presentation on the Borough’s Local Plan refresh. He told the audience that whilst the Inspector had called for a number of detailed amendments, the document had been judged fundamentally sound. Mr Thorne praised the Forum for all its hard work in reaching this stage, and confirmed that the Borough would work closely with PQF in the coming weeks to address the amendments required. Once ratified by the Council, residents and businesses within the Plan area will get the chance to vote upon its adoption, early in 2017.
 
PQF Chair, Bill Constance, said “Tonight PQF and its members have taken a significant step forwards. The Plan took a great deal of time and effort to prepare, over almost three years, so this news is a significant milestone and puts local people well on the road to having a meaningful say in the future development of our Town”.
