The representations received were reported to the council in December 1999 and Pre-Inquiry Changes were published for further consultation in February 2000.  The Public Inquiry into the Local Plan started in October 2000 and was completed in January 2002.  The Inspector´s Report was received on 18 June 2002.  

Proposed Modifications to the Plan, as a result of the Inspector´s Report, were advertised for consultation in January-February 2003.  Further proposed modifications were advertised for consultation in October-November 2003.

Purbeck council in September 2004 considered the remaining submissions and resolved to make no further changes to the Local Plan.  In November 2004, whilst it acknowledged that for legal reasons it could not adopt the Plan, the council agreed to publish a consolidated ´final edition´. 

See the local plan page for further detail and explanation.

It should be noted that while the plan is not adopted (and therefore no policies have been carried forward), it is a material consideration in Development Control decisions.  However, where policies have been superseded by National and Regional Guidance, these would take priority over the Local Plan.
