The village has produced three Planning Documents, which are available in the following pages.
In the past, the Sutton Poyntz Society used to submit comments on relevant planning applications, but now leaves this to individual villagers. As a service, it provides, below, a list of recent Planning Applications.
Recent Planning Applications:
The Dorset Council website has a planning application search page that (in principle) allows you to find recent planning applications. Unfortunately, it is not easy to set search criteria that will find all recent applications for Sutton Poyntz. The best way we have found is to go to the Advanced Search webpage (you will need to accept the Council conditions for using the data), and enter "dt3 6" in the Address box, plus your chosen date bracket in the "Received Valid between" boxes; this will find applications for a wider geographical area but at least does not miss any relevant applications.
