The councils in South East Dorset (Bournemouth BC, Christchurch BC, Dorset CC, East Dorset DC, Borough of Poole and Purbeck DC) are working with Natural England, the Environment Agency and the Forestry Commission to prepare Investing in Green Places.

What is the South East Dorset Green Infrastructure Strategy?

This is a green infrastructure strategy for the area. The strategy creates a bold vision for South East Dorset. It sets a framework to co-ordinate green infrastructure planning to improve and use the existing assets in a cost effective way.

The consultation

Residents, businesses and interested organisations were invited to have a say about the future of parks, trees, woodlands, allotments, cycle routes and other green spaces in South East Dorset. This consultation on the draft strategy is now closed and the strategy is in the process of being endorsed by the partner organisations.

Further information

Previous work relating to how the strategy was developed is still available.

Maps of existing green infrastructure are available on Dorset Explorer (opens in a new window) .
