Council Budget Monitoring report (2015/16) – In the absence of William Mutlow,	WM
JS reported that the Council Budget Monitoring report (1 April 2015 to 30 September
2015) presented at the Cabinet meeting yesterday shows an end of year surplus of
£0.7m.
WM has sent JS the following note about the Council Budget Monitoring report (1 April
2015 to 30 September 2015)
A number of budgets within Children’s Social Care Services have continued to
overspend with significant mitigation provided from savings in other budgets across
the People Theme. The small surplus delivered overall is from reduced demand within
key budgets in the Place Theme, across Business Improvement activity and from the
receipt of Community Infrastructure Levy to support financing the Twin Sails Bridge.
The improved forecast outturn includes a saving within central financing of £0.5m over

the second quarter and a further growth of £0.3m in Children’s Social Care, to give an

annual forecast overspend for this Service of £1m for the year. The increased ACTION pressure is largely offset by savings within Education Services after allowing for two

additional resources agreed by Cabinet in September.

A number of budgets within Adult Social Care (ASC) have moved favourably over the quarter with a net movement of £1.3m, giving a total for the year of £1.6m. The favourable movement includes retention of unspent grant of £0.6m from the postponement to 2020 of the implementation of the Care Act Part 2, reduced budget pressures and additional income of £0.7m.

The net favourable movement in ASC budget variances has been offset by the need to take account of the increased cost of £1.4m from a revised Ordinary Resident claim from Dorset County Council (DCC). The Council’s final accounts for 2014/15 and the June 2015 Council Budget Monitoring report for 2015/16 were prepared on the basis of an agreement with officers from DCC. in July 2015. A creditor of £0.4m was set up for an agreed back-pay element. Poole had begun making payments directly to care providers for the accepted clients from the start of the financial year in good faith that a back pay element was close to agreement. However in October, DCC confirmed that they were not going to abide by the agreement reached in July. A fresh claim was submitted including that Poole should accept funding responsibility for further clients and from an earlier point in time. This higher claim was for £1.8m.

The Council is not accepting the additional £1.4m is now due to DCC, with officers continuing to negotiate a fair settlement and we are required to set aside a provision to reflect the potential liability until the matter is resolved.

Taking into account the above issues, the net forecast pressure across the People Theme is £0.6m. Work is ongoing to establish the extent to which there will continue to be a pressure over the period of the Medium Term Financial Plan (MTFP).

Other services and central items are forecasting combined net savings of £1.3 million to offset additional costs within the People Theme and deliver the surplus overall. The most significant savings are within Transportation Services (£0.5m), across Business Improvement Services (£0.3m) and growing Community Infrastructure Levy receipts supporting financing of the Twin Sails Bridge to replace payments previously charged to the General Fund (£0.5m).

The current Capital programme is £26m with expenditure in the half year at £10.9m, representing 42% of annual spend. This reflects the profile of individual project expenditure within the overall programme.

The Forecast revenue variance movements June to September 2015 greater than £100,000.

£292k increase for Children – Looked After: Pressures continue to grow for placements of Children.

£145k saving in Children – Education Staff Costs: Vacancies in the Capital Team and other service areas.

£111k saving in Children – Education – Other Savings: Education Services Grant retained due to schools not converting to academy status (£75k) saving plus other net saving (£36k).

£579k saving in ASC – Care Act (Parts 1 & 2) Implementation: Further savings following Government announcement of implementation delay to 2020 of Part 2 and the grant can be retained to support budget pressures.

£359k saving in ASC – Residential Care & Community Based Services: Main items: “Reduced over spending on Learning Disabilities from potential service users not taking up care, plus existing clients moving to more cost-effectivepackages (209k saving) Clients aged 18-24 leaving care (£106k saving).”

£171k saving in ASC – Other Income: Client contributions from fairer charges (£77k) plus other income (£94k)

£165k saving in ASC – Ordinary Resident Claims (excluding Dorset): Ordinary resident claims settled without back-pay and with lower on-going

costs than provided.

£1,362k increase in ASC – Ordinary Resident Claim Dorset: Increase in

Services in consultation and the Portfolio Holder with responsibility for this area.
JS reported that he had attended a ‘pilot’ Community Themed meeting at the Civic
Centre this morning which was attended a wide group of residents representatives
from throughout the Borough. Notes of the meeting will be circulated as soon as these
are available.
Agenda items included the following presentation by Cllrs Mrs Walton and Mrs Haines
Combined Authority Business Case for new Unitary Authority
Current position on Council budget for 2016/17
Proposal for change to waste collection
Sustaining Poole’s Seafront Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)	TS
(Formerly Seafront Beaches Master Plan SPD): The Sustaining Poole’s Seafront
SPD was recommended for adoption by the Full Council at the Cabinet meeting on 08
December 2015.. This includes the following proposals for Branksome & Branksome
Dene beaches…
6.5 Branksome Beach – A Window on the Beaches

The height of the cliff and spread of vegetation combine with the curve of the cliffs to present an opportunity for panoramic views from a new café/restaurant projecting from Western Road car park. Subject to full technical reports and identified SNCI

mitigation, this new Sky Café could be a truly iconic addition. Whether a destination


or a family café, an elegant architectural and engineering solution would be	ACTION

required.
Redevelopment of the existing library site for flatted development with provision of
new community facilities could be proposed.
Cllr MH said that there would need to be a replacement facility before there could be a
decision to demolish Canford Cliffs library.
6.6 Branksome Dene Beach – The Watersports Beach
Change here could include a new and larger community and leisure venue in an
elevated position with an enlarged terrace and a handful of rooms for hire. It could
include new changing space, toilets and showers. A kiosk could be located on a deck
that projects over the sand in a similar style to the decks at Shore Beach and Canford
Cliffs. Identified parts of the woodland of the Chine shall be managed and reinforced
to retain or create ecological habitats. Furthermore the woodland could be accessed
via a new rope zip wire? adventure activity feature, and watersports should be
supported here (subject to approval of environmental reports and mitigation) with
improved facilities and access.
The beach area is the preferred location for a watersports hub to be built. Storage
space for small craft and changing facilities for users could combine with training and
teaching areas, as currently exists for the Branksome Chine Surf Life Saving Club. It
is possible that it could be managed by a commercial operator.
Additional 8 beach huts could be constructed, of which all could be capable of
overnight accommodation.
Tony Beale asked if, when the area of the Branksome Beach car park and the chine
was ceded to the council, there were any covenants put on this at that time. JS said
that this needed to be looked into.
Succession planning: No new developments.	JS
Uniting the Conurbation (Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch) – the Council	JS
exploring options for the future of local government in Poole, Bournemouth and
Dorset
Option 1 – A Pan-Dorset Unitary Council including all nine councils in
Dorset
This option is a single unitary council to provide local government services for the
whole Dorset county area as well as Poole and Bournemouth. This would bring
together the current two unitary councils with the County Council and District
Councils, creating a single tier authority.
A unitary Council for this area would be the third largest local authority in England,
smaller than Birmingham and Leeds, larger than Sheffield.
Option 2 – A Unitary Council for South East Dorset This proposal is to create a
new unitary Council to provide local government services for Poole, Bournemouth,
Christchurch and East Dorset to come into effect in April 2019.
This would bring together the services of five Councils for the South East Dorset area
i.e. the two unitary Councils (Poole and Bournemouth), the two District Councils
(Christchurch and East Dorset) and the relevant part of Dorset County Council.
A new unitary Council for South East Dorset would be bigger, for example, than
Bristol, Southampton, Reading or Brighton and Hove.
Given that the proposal affects the Dorset County Council area, it will be necessary to
consider the costs and benefits of a revised local government structure for the rest of
the County area comprising the four District Councils and Dorset County Council.

	creation of a new unitary council for South East Dorset would need to be
The	MINUTES OF THE BRANKSOME, CANFORD CLIFFS & DISTRICT RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION	ACTION
balanced by a new arrangement in the rest of Dorset. This could be retention of the
status quo or a new unitary council for the areas of Purbeck, North Dorset, West
Dorset and Weymouth& Portland Councils.
Option 3 – No change – Retain the existing local government structure The two
unitary councils in Poole and Bournemouth and the two tier structure in the Dorset
area with a County Council and six district councils would remain as they are.

The meeting started at 10:38

Welcome and introductions

MH introduced the meeting, reminding attendees that the agenda had been circulated beforehand and that notes would be circulated afterwards. All attendees introduced themselves.

Combined Authority

JW confirmed that:

The term ‘combined authority’ was used to describe a formal governance structure to strengthen councils’ collective approach to strategic decisions on transport, economic development and regeneration
Leaders of the 9 councils in Dorset had proposed so far to include only transport and economic development in the functions of a combined authority for the county
Borough of Poole (BoP) would retain its sovereignty and its own teams for economic development and transport
There would be a benefit in having a single point of contact between Dorset and central government on strategic matters.
The greater benefit would be in the ability to bid for larger opportunities and attract new sources of funding

Residents made the following observations:

There could be an advantage of a strategic view being taken across Dorset and from having a single point of contact for discussions across the councils rather than the many-to-many arrangement now.
The function would need to have a legal status and an overview/scrutiny mechanism in place.
The voting mechanism in the cross-county function needed to ensure equitable outcomes. (For instance, issues at a ward or district level should not be at risk of being voted down by members who were remote from the issue).
The central function had to be empowered to make decisions for the good of Dorset, recognising that each council would be inclined to argue for its own interests

Notes from Poole Residents’ Themed Meeting

Wednesday 9^th December 2015, Cattistock Suite, Civic Centre

Equally, a central function could be against the principle of ‘local solutions to local problems’. As such, its design was important to ensure it had residents’ support.
The new function would have a challenge to be effective with only a remit for transport and economic development when there would be dependencies to/from many other functions which remained under local control. (JW agreed that this was a risk to manage in the set-up of any function).
There was the possibility for all external contracting to be done pan-Dorset by the new function, in the context of the business of a combined authority. (However, JW responded on this point that this wasn’t the current intention)
A combination with Bournemouth could be useful if such things as roads-planning and maintenance could be aligned
The proposed new function would be a combined administration across Dorset to serve strategic purposes

Business Case for Unitary Authority

JW confirmed that:

The discussions for a possible South-East Dorset single unitary authority were in response to central government’s wish for local authorities to become more ambitious and innovative. The discussions were also supported by the Local Government Association (LGA).
The intention was to explore the possibility of a single unitary authority for south-east Dorset. The leaders and chief executives of those councils had met in October 2015, resulting in an agreement to explore three alternative ways forward, namely:
1. a Dorset-wide unitary authority covering the territory represented by the current 9 councils;
2. a south-east Dorset unitary authority covering the territories of Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch and East Dorset councils; or
3. a continuation of the current arrangement of councils
Council’s approval would be sought in December 2015 to draw up business cases for these options.
Once business cases had been developed – over approximately 3-4 months – the discussion would come back into council to debate the way forward.
There was a strong feeling across the leader and cabinet to protect Poole’s identity and sovereignty, incl. heritage and mayoralty.

Residents made the following observations:

The 5 councils outside the south-east could in theory form their own unitary. (Though JW confirmed that the only idea so far in this regard had been raised by Dorset County Council for a Dorset-wide unitary).
External expertise should be used to look objectively across all options and to challenge robustly for efficiencies and benefits. (JW responded that this would happen and that the Local Government Association would support the development of business cases, but not their evaluation).
If council tax increases were capped by central government, the main benefits from any join-ups had to be from cost savings. (JW added that Borough of Poole had achieved £60m in efficiencies since 2010 and would be finding another £20 by 2020. But the emphasis would be on fostering economic growth and improving the value-for-money of services, not just cuts per se).
There was a wish to keep Poole’s identity. A unitary could have more influence with central government and would offer economies of scale. But the defence of Poole’s heritage would be important in fostering residents’ support. (JW concurred with this point).
It was important for councillors to know residents’ views. Would there be a referendum? (JW replied that public consultation – as well as face-to-face meetings – would include digital communication to reach people and canvass opinion. For example, the ‘Email Me’ newsletter now had 35,000 subscribers in the Borough. So while face-to-face would remain important, the intention was to use a range of options to reach across the community.

Notes from Poole Residents’ Themed Meeting

Wednesday 9^th December 2015, Cattistock Suite, Civic Centre

First of all it was important to develop the cost-benefit analyses for the options and then to identify the key questions for debate.

3.11 Support was expressed for the approach to develop business cases first. It was important to take the time to develop complete scenarios and describe their benefits to residents. This would be more meaningful than asking for public opinion before knowing the facts and evidence in those business cases.

Current position on Council budget for 2016/17

MH confirmed that:

Poole council had a challenge to reduce expenditure by £18-20 million over the next 4 years. The target was deliberately quoted in a range rather than a point figure to give room to manoeuvre where new requirements from central government carried the risk of bringing further challenges.
At the start of the fiscal year beginning 1^st April 2016, the forecast challenge was £5.8m for that year – taking a view of the central government funding settlement. At the time of the October’15 forecast, that gap had been revised down to £3.9m and most recently revised to £1.6m.

The gap-reduction had been achieved by taking difficult decisions. The more straight-forward savings in support areas had been made – such as non-replacement of staff leaving, part-time working and rationalisation of services. (An example given was Streetscene – now a one-stop-shop for street maintenance rather than the complex multi-team arrangement it replaced). Other changes included:
1. Adjustments to the green-bin collection and charges
2. Reduced grants to voluntary organisations
3. Rationalised office space – such as the vacation of St John’s House and the incorporation of the transport team into Civic Centre
4. Reduction in the square-meterage of a workspace in the office
There was a £13.7m target for cost-reduction to 2020. As the opportunities in Poole-unitary became harder to find, there was a need to collaborate with partners outside Poole for further improvements – hence, the explorations into combined authority and ‘quads’.
Unless arrangements were to change, Poole Council remained legally responsible for the provision of council services to the Borough.
Two types of reserves were defined:
1. Earmarked (held for a specific purpose) reserves
2. Unearmarked (general) reserves

Following a review, a request would be put to council in December 2015 for a further £1.5m to be taken from earmarked reserves to help support the MTFP over 3 years from 2016/17.

Proposal for change to waste collection

MH confirmed that:

Poole’s current practice of weekly black-bin collections was in a minority, as 70% of other councils across the UK collected bi-weekly.
A working group had explored waste-collection in depth over more than a year. In phase 1 they had examined whether food-waste could be a separate collection, taking the experiences from the Isle of Wight, but concluded this wasn’t yet viable for Poole. In phase 2, the examination was whether bi-weekly collections brought undesirable effects such as overflowing bins and vermin. The experience from other councils was that it did not.
The potential move to bi-weekly collection in Poole would, however, offer exceptions to residents with a demonstrably greater need for waste collection, such as larger families with young children and those with medical conditions.

Residents made the following observations:

Notes from Poole Residents’ Themed Meeting

Wednesday 9^th December 2015, Cattistock Suite, Civic Centre

Would there be staff reductions if collections were halved? (MH replied that some staff reductions were likely)
Poole and Bournemouth used different colour-schemes for bins. To align them could be an item for the ‘quads’ discussions.
Food waste could be recycled as fuel pellets. (MH replied that food waste was already recovered. A proportion of that waste was sent to New Earth Solutions where a mechanical recovery was done, allowing minimal divert to landfill).
The website www.weneedthat.com was mentioned as helpful in regard to recycling.

Questions and Answers / Open Forum

Residents made the following points:

Other cost savings could be pursued such as outsourcing and pension management, dog-wardens and tree-wardens. (MH replied that some outsourcing had already been achieved, such as with Tricuro in adult social care, and that all options would be explored. For example, another potential opportunity was to take over the management of Bournemouth’s refuse site for a fee)
Residents could be asked to pay a little more council tax to protect services.
External expertise should be sought by the council to drive opportunities in commercialism. A resident felt that someone with the skills and appropriate incentive could bring more urgency and transparency to the commercial area. (MH suggested that more general details could be shared, but not items which were commercially sensitive – and this point was accepted).

The Transparency pages on the Borough of Poole website needed to be updated.
In response to a question on business rates and the Chancellor’s statement, MH reminded everyone that the current “50/50” scheme still left Poole only 25 pence in the Pound. The new statement that local councils could retain 100% of business rates from 2020 was promising but in her view was likely to come with extra responsibilities as a quid-pro-quo. Those responsibilities could become clearer in consultations with central government in 2016 but for now the mood was cautious.

In response to another question MH mentioned that the annual meeting on council budget would be held on 22^nd January 2016 and that any anyone who wished to attend was asked to let her or Fiona Fryer (fryer@poole.gov.uk) know in advance.

Feedback

Forms were circulated, completed and returned by attendees.

In the spirit of respecting the confidentiality of peoples’ feedback, a general summary was that the meeting was well received and that the limited attendance allowed a high level of quality discussion. A challenge going forward would be to retain this value while reaching out to larger groups.

The meeting closed at 12:20.

	ST requested comments on the minutes from the last meeting. The following items were
	raised:
	Item 8 – Nitrates in Poole Harbour SPD. Please provide the link to the background paper.
	The link is:
	http://www.poole.gov.uk/planning-and-buildings/planning/ldp/spds/nitrogen-reduction/
	Item 6 – Timetable for Policy Documents. It was noted that this is much clearer. GR
	advised that he had emailed BoP regarding the Poole Core Strategy Review. The Strategic
	Planning and the Duty to Co-operate and Strategic Planning Forum was discussed in detail.
	ST explained regarding the Local Plan process, the Growth Board, LEP, LNP, Place &
	Prosperity Group and the way in which these work and fit in with each other.
	TS requested that BoP provide an organisational chart of the CEO’s. ST will look at this.
	Action: ST to prepare an organisational chart of the CEO’s in respect of the Strategic
	Planning and the Duty to Cooperate.

Item	Description		Action

	ST advised regarding the SPPMF (Strategic Planning Policy Managers Forum), which he
	chairs and advised that there are no powers within this group. GR enquired if there are
	minutes available from this meeting online. ST advised that this is not a public meeting,
	there are no minutes, only notes, which are not made public. The meeting is designed for
	the members to express their views confidentially.
	It was noted that the new Planning Policy & Implementation Manager, Nick Perrins, has been
	appointed and will be commencing with BoP in mid February 2016.
	GR advised that he had sent an email with the timetable for the Poole Core Strategy Review,
	which needs to be updated online. ST will request Steve Dring (SD) to update as soon as
	possible.
	Action: ST will request Steve Dring (SD) to update the timetable for the Poole Core
	Strategy Review, at his earliest convenience.
	Item 11 – paragraph 3. It was noted that CA should be included in the Neighbourhood
	Forum’s discussions in order to agree a new boundary. CPT to update the minutes to reflect.
	Action: CPT to update the minutes of the last meeting held to include CA in Item 11,
	paragraph 3.
	TS enquired as to who has control, from Planning, in respect of the Neighbourhood Plan.
	RTG advised that BoP would encourage against a controlling plan. ST explained that the
	SPD is a guidance document only and in a lower position than the Neighbourhood Plan. A
	DPD is also in a higher position than an SPD.
	Building heights were discussed at length – e.g. 6/7 storey building applications and the
	likelihood of these becoming more common.

3.	Regen Site Update
	Nikal Site
	CA updated regarding the Nikal Site, the scoping has finished and there is a full application
	approaching. BF enquired if an update on pre-planning consultations could be of interest to
	tenants. RTG advised that pre-application advice is given in confidence, the designs have
	changed radically over the last year and there is nothing to report at this stage. BF raised the
	issue with the Nikal Car Park, which RNLI	are using, Nikal are charging. BF felt that this
	should be enforced. It was noted that past experiences of trying to enforce in a similar
	situation has resulted in the inspector stating that there is no harm in running a temporary car
	park. RTG advised that the future of the car park is seen as a regen site. ST added that
	once an application has been received, BoP will not be able to enforce the car park. RTG
	advised that if we were to “enforce” it would be more of a gentle reminder of the expiry.
	CA suggested a meeting between Poole Quays Forum and the Residents. It was noted that
	this would be a good idea.

4.	Planning Website Improvements – Feedback from Community Working Group
	SPL gave an overview of the website improvements currently in progress, e.g. making it
	easier and more user friendly to browse the website from a smart phone or Ipad. SPL
	requested feedback from the group, which will then be fed back to the team. ST added that
	the Q-Codes on the site notices are in operation, these can be scanned to access
	information quickly. It was noted that a QR app needs to be downloaded when using this
	facility. It is a service provision introduced to improve our service.
	TS stressed that not everyone surfs the internet. MT added that some difficulties have been
	found in web browsing. SPL advises that this is part of the BoP’s anticipated improvements
	to the website.

Item	Description	Action

5.	Other Items Raised by CWG Members
	5.1 Consultation on Community Involvement – Terence Stewart
	The Chairman’s Response to Community Involvement document, which was circulated
	by TS prior to the meeting, was discussed.
	TS enquired regarding the definition of neighbours next to the site, is BoP taking all
	relevant parties into consideration. ST responded by advising that it is whatever
	legislation states, it is either neighbour notification or site notices, BoP is under no
	obligation to provide both, however, it currently does. BoP is required to make savings
	and by abolishing neighbour notifications, it will make a saving of £14k per annum. ST
	added that the surrounding areas, including the back of the site, will have site notices.
	The weekly lists were discussed in detail. SPL advised that registering to receive
	these can be carried out on the website. After discussion, it was agreed that SPL
	would ask KP to prepare some detailed notes on registering, which could be circulated
	with the minutes. TS advised that these he has been receiving the weekly lists. BF
	added that the weekly list is received from Karen Atkins in PDF format, you can click
	on search and type in Hamworthy West, everything will appear on screen.
	CA enquired if applicant could notify neighbours. ST advised that the local land
	authority holds responsibility and there is no legal requirement for applicants to do this.
	MT stressed that BoP needs to take into consideration older people, who make not
	necessarily have access to, or even feel comfortable with, using apps on mobile or
	Ipad or utilising the internet.

5.2 Target Neighbour/Standard Expiry Dates – Graham Whitehall

GW advised that the details section on the planning portal, which sets out the target and expiry dates needs to be investigated, some clarity is needed, as the dates are not clear. It was noted that this is in respect of the tracker bar. RTG advised that this issue will be investigated. SPL added for the record that the deadline for comments is a minimum of 21 days to make any comments, a decision may not necessary have been reached.

Action: Planning Website – deadline dates to be investigated by RTG

BF advised regarding the Modern Mindset (http://www.moderngov.co.uk/) website, which is a software company specific for Councils. They can incorporate a meeting management system, where these can be recorded. SPL advised she will investigate their website further.

Action: SPL to investigate the Modern Mindset website

5.3 Gallaghers Site – Chris Allenby

We have lost Gallaghers for the moment on the power station site. Reported to be non viable. ST confirmed and advised that Gallaghers had withdrawn their application, due to not being commercially viable. However, CIL contributions are still relevant and, with the new tariff, this will probably be zero.

Is there a defined date for the completion of the Gallaghers section of the port link road? ST advised “no”.

Densities – it was noted that the limits are defined by the Strategic Habitats Regulation Assessment carried out, involvement from Natural England was discussed. TS enquired regarding standardisation of densities. RTG advised regarding the Strategic Habitats Regulation Assessments and the issued faced. The reduced bedrooms allowance to accommodate more dwellings was discussed. Open Space allowance per dwelling was also discussed.

MT suggested a representation to Gallaghers/Inland Homes in respect of Port Link Road, to get things moving.

CWG Efficacy of the Group – Email from Brian Finch

ST advised that an email had been received from BF and read this to the group.

BF responded as follows, in order to clear up any confusion:

“Just to explain my email and the context it was sent in:

I have personally and publically applauded Stephen’s contribution to public engagement and participation, of which Stephen is well aware of.

My email had a point to make which it seems may have been confused.

The point I was making is obvious if you have seen the council’s attitude and real life practice to public consultation and engagement, which I assumed most of you that this was sent to are aware of.

I feel it is only a matter of time till this group suffers the same demise as area committees, and whatever this group produces still has to go through council and cabinet which is a majority tory council.

I have sat in many committees since the elections and they are bombastically pushing through motions that have taken years to achieve with councillors with no previous input or experience with local issues or communities. Officers are cock a hoop that most their work gets through now and is not challenged or scrutinized with any degree of sincerity.

This type of policy breeds contempt and that could be mistaken in my email if the author didn’t know the facts which I do.

Stephen knows me well enough by now to know that I have due respect for him, I have no respect for his superiors whatsoever because there is none due or deserved.

I’m making no excuse for my email, I’m explaining the meaning of it, whether you agree with my views or not is not my business, I explain this for the benefit of showing due respect for Stephen which he deserves in bundles.

Thank you”.

After discussion, it was unanimously agreed that the Community Working Group is extremely important and should continue.

5.5 Items Raised by Terence Stewart

It is important for the Minutes to be distributed widely and promptly to all Resident and Community Associations. 7 weeks for the Sept. 24 minutes is too long.

ST response: Agreed. Unfortunately, the minutes were delayed due to Officers workload and CPT awaiting approval. It was agreed that approval will be sought from one of ST, SPL or RTG and CPT will have the minutes distributed within two weeks of the meeting.

Please can the Agendas and Minutes continue to be distributed to the previous members of the CWG to keep them informed.

ST advised that the Agenda and Minutes are distributed to current CWG Members for forwarding on to the various groups as appropriate. After a lengthy discussion it was agreed that CPT would add TS to the distribution list to enable him to forward on.

Action: CPT to add TS to CWG Distribution List for all future Agenda’s and

Minutes

Conclusions and timings for next steps on the Responses to the Draft Core Strategy and SPD.

ST advised that the responses have been consolidated, following the consultation and comments. The next step is the Strategic Planning and Duty to Co-operate, which ST gave an overview of the options and new plan going forward with reference to the number of residential units BoP are faced with supplying. ST advised regarding the 5-year land supply plan, which needs to be in place to ensure developers refrain from bombarding BoP with spurious planning applications, which they know the inspectorate will grant. This will happen if there is no 5-year land supply plan in place. RTG advised that developers are more than likely to be fully aware of the fact that the demand has increased from 500 to 710 residential units.

Building on the Green Belt.

ST gave an overview of the options: 1) – 500 houses per year. 2) Building Density – higher. 3) Expanding into the Countryside/Green Belt. 4) Any Other.

TS enquired if we build denser, would it mean that there would be no need to build in the Green Belt? ST advised that BoP are investigating the issues and we need to consider all options. The density, Green Belt and the quantity of houses this would create was discussed. It was felt that applications for properties with less bedrooms will be received in order to create more residential units but with less density.

TS requested a revised groupings map. RTG/ST advised this is located in the Town Centre SPD. ST – it is very likely that the Town Centre will change drastically over the next 10 years.

MT enquired if it will meet the need? ST advised yes and gave an explanation of the SPD going to ECOS on 01/12/15.

TS enquired if the SPD can be located in the local library. After checking, SPL advised that the documents go to the central library, Democratic Services are responsible for ensuring the documents are there. Note: It was assumed that Committee Minutes would not be distributed to the Libraries due to cost cutting.

Publication of the Seafront Plan to residents ahead of going to Committee.

This matter was discussed at length. ST advised that the SPD had been to Scrutiny four times plus the Workshop. It was noted that there had been changes to the document and ST advised that this was to be publicised in due course, anticipated to be next week but not guaranteed. The document is now in a position where the Members can either adopt or not. The document will need to go to full Council first.

Definition of Areas to receive CIL Levies, Who decides which projects benefit and process if Area Meetings are abolished?

ST advised that the Community Apportionment, which went to Cabinet in November decides the neighbourhood apportionments. Item 3.11 of the Cabinet Report states:

“Through the CIL Neighbourhood Portion Working Party the areas of Poole not covered by Neighbourhood Forums will have their CIL funds managed by this rest of the of the Borough working party (see Appendix B) made up of Councillors with representation from across the Borough. Councillors can put forward their proposals for CIL funded projects in their respective wards and the working party as a whole can decide upon the priority of these projects and where the CIL funds will be allocated. Through discussions with local people and Council Officers it would be the Councillors responsibility to establish what infrastructure needs there are in their ward. Representatives from the

Borough’s Neighbourhood Forums should also form part of the group to ensure that any cross boundary needs between Neighbourhood Forums and Wards can be discussed and resolved where necessary.”

ST advised that it is not known, at this stage, if the Area Meetings will be replaced with another similar meeting. ST confirmed that there is no executive authority at all.

Any Other Business

Notifications

TS requested that notifications are sent to CWG members of when items are going through Council/Cabinet in respect of CIL. It was noted that there are regular Newsletters – see item 6.2.

Planning Newsletter

It was noted that the Planning Newsletter, usually prepared and distributed by Policy, had not been received by CWG members for a long period of time. After investigation, it was found that the last two were released in March 2015 and July 2015. CPT will circulate these to the CWG with the minutes. The link to subscribe to receiving the Newsletters is:

https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/UKPOOLE/subscriber/new

Action: CPT will circulate the two Planning Newsletters, for March and July 2015, to the CWG with the minutes.

Raising Issues

ST advised that the raising of any issues can be carried out through Pauline Gill in Democratic Services.

Printing Documents

SPL advised that the Planning Unit is unable to carry out any documentation printing due to resource and printing issues.

Chris Allenby

CA advised that Poole Quays Forum wish to present the PQF Neighbourhood Plan in due course and enquired where this needs to go. ST advised he will investigate and let CA know.

Action: ST/SD to advise CA the process for independent examination.

Gerald Rigler

GR raised the matter of Brownfield before Green Belt and enquired if ST is aware of the flawed housing targets, which he then circulated to ST. CPRE challenging the inspectorate. ST advised that he is aware.

Highways, Contamination, Flooding, Building Regulations.

There being no further business the meeting finished at 16:45 hrs.

MINUTES OF THE BRANKSOME, CANFORD CLIFFS & DISTRICT RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION
Council Budget Monitoring report (2014/15) & 2015/16 Budget – William Mutlow	ACTION
reported on the Council Budget Monitoring report covering the period 1 April 2015 to	WM
30 June 2015 – this forecasts a small surplus of £0.3m for the year 2015/16.
Cost pressures of £0.8m emerging in Children’s Services. Forecast includes higher
placement costs for Looked after children and cost pressures within the Adoption
Service.
Other services are forecasting Net Savings with the most significant being £0.4m
from Transportation, with reduced expenditure from Concessionary Fares and other
Budgets.
Vacancy management and an ongoing brake on expenditure are continuing to apply.
There remains uncertainty regarding a number of significant budgets, and there is no
longer a contingency within the annual budget to manage any unforeseen events.
There are a number of in-year changes to funding currently expected from the
Government’s post election announcements over the summer including the delay of
the implementation of Part 2 of the Care Act until 2020. The main provisions due for
implementation in April 2016 were to introduce a cap on residential care costs paid
by individuals and to significantly increase the capital threshold above which people
are required to contribute to the costs of their care.
The Council has already invested in systems, staffing and other costs funded by
government grants to prepare for implementation. We are awaiting further
announcements and no provision has been made within the current year forecast for
any funds to be returned.
The in year position needs to be seen within the context of the current £5.5m deficit
in the budget for 2016/17, acknowledged by Cabinet on 28 July, and the further
growth pressure expected from Children’s Social Care, the impact of the new Living
Wage on costs in the care sector and the Government cuts under review.
2016 High Season Parking Period should begin on 1st March from 2016 onwards.
Movement on reserves
The balance on earmarked reserves at the 1 April 2015 was £24.2m, with £3.6m
programmed to support the 2015/16 Budget. £2.578m of the expenditure variances
relates to the use of specific earmarked reserves in support of their intended
purpose.
As reported at last month’s meeting of the Association, the 3 year Medium Term
Financial Plan includes the assumption that Council Tax will rise by 2% per year
Reasons for significant Forecast Revenue Variances greater than £100,000
People Theme £512k Total Variances Cost Pressures
£421k Looked After Children: Pressures in residential care costs partially offset by
savings within fostering placements.
£180k Adoption Services: A number of children requiring greater support than
budgeted, together with an increase in other costs due to national changes.
£175k Children in Need & Independent Living: Increase in number of care leavers
requiring support.
£254K ASC – Residential Care & Community Based Services: The number of clients
needing support is over budget on residential care partially offset by savings in
community services and direct payments. Relating to older people the pressure is
£349k, with other age groups saving (£95k).
£287k saving in ASC – Care Act (Part 1) Implementation: Local deferred payment
scheme required few changes to implement the national scheme from April 15. This
had reduced spend from this one off non ring-fenced grant.
£168K saving in ASC – Employee Costs: Vacancies within social work and
commissioning teams.
£68K saving in ASC – Other: Grant announced after the budget was set to support

£5k Other: Net Pressures.
Place Theme Variance a Saving of £557k
£153K saving in Transportation Concessionary Fares. Actual costs were 3.7% lower
in the first 2 months. The forecast assumes the 2014/15 trend of journey numbers in
the remaining 10 months. The actual level of activity is influenced by external factors
such as the weather.
£284k saving in Other Transportation. Savings made up from street lighting
electricity £93k, from additional parking and other income £73k, from expenditure
savings on bus subsidies £47k and from net other costs £71k.
£120k saving in Other Variances made up from Town centre management £45k and
from facilities management £75k.
Business Improvement Theme Variance a Saving of £325k
£159k saving in Human Resources. The main variance is additional income of
£137k.
£166k saving in Other Services. The main items are employee savings from
Corporate Management Team £73k and Corporate Strategy £44k.

route have been removed by the Council. It, currently, recognises this route as an
unrecorded Public Right of Way.. .

Pinecliff Gardens (Sunken garden): WH said that the report of of the Royal	WH
Horticultural Society judge’s visit was expected at the end of this month. Volunteers

Community Engagement: Cllr MH reported on the third meeting of the ‘Review of	JS
Council Governance Arrangements Working Party’ which was held on the preceding
Monday (07/09/15). About 12 members of the public were present.
Discussions on changes to the current Overview & Scrutiny Committees have been
concluded.
Area Committees will continue but the Working Party is looking at ways of widening
the scope of these meetings. Other alternatives being considered are Focus
Groups. ‘Themed’ meetings. Consultation is continuing and, at the time of the
Association’s meeting, no date had been set for the next Working Group meeting.
Chairman’s Note: The Minutes of the meetings held on 13 July and 03 August 2015
have still to be posted on the BoP website.
Navitus Bay Offshore Wind Farm: Navitus Bay Offshore Wind Farm: Roy	RP
Pointer gave an update on Navitus Bay. The decision will be published by the
Secretary of State this Friday 11 September, exactly 12 months from the opening of
the Examination process in line with the Planning Act 2008. He very much hoped
that the Application would be refused bearing in mind the effort put in by residents in
the wider area and the support of all local Councils (Poole excepted), MPs, National
Trust and the New Forest Parks Authority.
He referred to the recent piece in the Daily Telegraph indicating refusal of the project
but had nothing on which to base the article although Emily Gosden is a respected
journalist in the sector.
If the project is approved there is limited scope to challenge. The route is via Judicial	ACTION
Review but the grounds are very limited e.g. Law, process compliance and	ACTION

	Chairman’s Note: RP writes “I’m delighted to say that on 11th September, Secretary
	of State Amber Rudd issued the decision refusing permission for the wind farm as
	well as a smaller option proposed at the eleventh hour by the developer. This
	represents a major achievement for the thousands of residents who objected, and
	for the work of Poole and Christchurch Bays’ Association in giving focus and weight
	to the planning arguments against this deeply unpopular proposal. It is a good
	example of how residents can influence decisions on national issues working
	with MPs, local councils and other interested groups.”
	Sustaining Poole’s Seafront (Formerly Seafront Beaches Master Plan SPD): A	TS
	report is due to be presented to Cabinet at its meeting on 13 October 2015 seeking
	resolution to adopt the Plan at the Full Council meeting on 17 November 2015.
	Cllr MH was unable to shed any light on this but said that there had been three
	rounds of consultation on this. We shall have to wait and see what the report comes
	up with.

	to cover their respective geographic areas. This would see all functions undertaken
	by the existing councils in these areas being delivered by a new single unitary

– Letter of objection lodged on behalf of the Association on 02 September 2015.	ACTION
Chris Stracey raised concerns about the inconsistency of approach by the Local
Planning Authority in the case the various applications at Avalon, off Sandbanks
Road when compared with recent applications in Crawshaw Road. In both cases,
the applications involved sub-division of plots where trees were an issue. In the
case of Crawshaw Road the applications were allowed but in the case of Avalon,
the applications were refused
Cllr MH said that in the case of 14-16 Avalon, the proposed properties were taller
than those there at present, did not fit in with the character of the area and not
enough amenity space.
JS suggested that CS ask WH to take this up at the forthcoming Community
Working Group meeting.
Then followed a lengthy and, at times, heated discussion about 12A Western
Avenue (Erection of new single storey house) – Application registered 20 April 2015.
Tracy Holmes opened the discussion by saying that she was confused by the
process and sought answers to the following questions

1.Plot size precedent, as there will be two dwellings on a single plot of less than 1½ acres

In the view of the Association, this is not a plot severance and, if it ever existed, the 3/4 acre rule no longer applies. Members were informed of this in the Autumn 2014 magazine. JS said that, as far as he was aware, the only reference to the 3/4 rule is included in the Covenants held by (The) Branksome Park Association Ltd and Covenants are not a planning issue.

2.The reason why no objection was raised to this proposal

The proposal was viewed from a planning point of view. The existing Grade ii listed one bedroom bungalow cannot be altered. Thereby precluding any extensions. A replica style bungalow matching the existing & grouped together would be a unique asset to Branksome Park. It would not compromise policy PCS23 in Poole’s Core Strategy.

It would not breach the Branksome Park Management Plan as the proposed bungalow would be well masked from Western Ave – the additional planting proposed to the boundary would mask the flat roof bungalow from the adjoining properties.

The bungalow would sit on the disused Tennis Court & not compromise any trees or roots

3. The wider community were unaware of this proposal & plans to safeguard the community from similar requests

Because of the limited number of members who take an ‘active‘ role in the work of the Association, it has been the Association’s practice for some years now to adopt are-active approach to planning applications rather than pro-active and we rely on residents contacting us when they are concerned about planning applications.

JS said that, in his experience, it is important that, where a resident is concerned about a neighbouring development to, immediately, ‘lobby’ his/her neighbours to garner support for his/her objections.

JS invited those present to contact him for a copy of the List of the Planning

Applications which he receives for the Council on a weekly basis.

Chairman’s note: Only one request received to date.

4. Misinformation about the plot size of 8 Withingham Road

JS explained that explained how he came to make a mistake about the plot size of this property, which had been subject to sub-division, following the purchase of

adjacent land from the Victoria Education Centre.

MINUTES OF THE BRANKSOME, CANFORD CLIFFS & DISTRICT RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION
Peter Jackson made the point that both the Council’s Urban Design & Conservation	ACTION
Officer and Tree Officer had raised concerns about the proposal.
Stuart Rhys-Williams felt that the Association had ‘missed the boat’ and was allowing
the character of Branksome Park to be changed. He proposed that an Extraordinary
General Meeting of the Association should be held as soon as possible to rally
support for the re-introduction of the ¾ acre rule.
John Buckley supported this proposal and JS promised to send those members
calling for an EGM, a copy of the Rules of the Association.
Cllr MH said that the officer was due to make his decision the following week and, if
the application is due to be approved, this will be ‘Red-carded’.
Christine Norman questioned how the plot is, currently, registered with the Land
Registry and if it was known if there was any proposal by the owner to register the
two plots separately.
Stan Alfert encouraged those present who had not yet sent letters of objection to do
so as a matter of urgency and suggested they search the BoP Planning Application
website for suitable wording.
John Gunton that, in view of the apparent level of opposition to this proposal, he was
expecting more Western Ave residents to attend the meeting.
Roy Pointer felt that it was up to residents to object and garner support from
residents and thought it unfair to ‘have a go’ at the Executive.
Peter Jackson proposed that a letter of objection should be sent on behalf of the
Association, seconded by Stan Alfert, and this was, overwhelming, agreed by those
present with two abstentions.
Tony Holmes said, in conclusion, that if the application is not turned down, he will not
let the matter rest. Mr Horden has been given permission on three occasions to
extend his current property.
Stan Alfert referred to 2 Dalkeith Road (Sever land and construct a detached house
with integral garage). This was a first application to propose a sub-division in
Buccleugh Road and should be opposed.

Other current planning issues

66, 68 & 68A Lilliput Road (Outline planning application for the demolition of the existing properties and the erection of two separate apartment buildings containing 20 flats in total with associated access, cycle and bin stores) – Letter of objection lodged on behalf of the Association on 26 July 2015.

Ormonde Nursing Home, 12 Pinewood Road (Outline application for alterations, extensions and conversion of the building to six flats with associated parking and landscaping) – The Association lodged a letter of objection to this application on 13 August 2015.

Wateridge House, 5 Burton Road (Outline application to demolish the existing building and erection of 5 no. 2 ½ storey detached houses) – Application recommended for Refusal by Planning Committee at its meeting the following day..Chairman’s note: This application was refused.

Compton Acres, Canford Cliffs Road (Erection of building comprising 20 Apartments with basement parking; re-arrangement for the existing Compton Acres parking area, and demolition of the existing office building set within the current car park) – The developers have yet to comply with Condition 12 and it is noted that there appears to be no provision for coach parking.

	seem to be too many double-decker beach huts proposed for Canford Cliffs
There	MINUTES OF THE BRANKSOME, CANFORD CLIFFS & DISTRICT RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION	ACTION

(152 new ones) and JS questioned if is it worth developing the small pavilion at Canford Cliffs into a café because it won’t do much business out-of-season as people can’t drive up to it to park as they can at Branksome Beach and at Sandbanks? Cllr MH suggests that this is perhaps to offer a catering option to walkers, but she is querying this Banquets Catering (South Coast) Ltd currently hold the leases for the beach restaurants and kiosks from Branksome Dene to Sandbanks and this does not permit any other concessionaire to operate along the seafront.

JS said that it is surprising that so few beach huts are being proposed for Sandbanks

– JS asked Cllr MH to query this as Sandbanks is the most popular area. She says this is because they are struggling to find locations to build extra huts at Sandbanks.

Officers will continue to explore further commercial opportunities as part of ongoing work to improve seafront facilities and revenues.
