30 March 2016 - Wynne Palframan 1941-2016
Dear all,
I'm sure many of you have already heard that, sadly,Wynne died late last week.
Wynne and her brother were born in Ormskirk, Stockport. In her late teens she worked for many years as a receptionist in the Kings Arms Hotel in Dorchester, making many good friends whilst there. Later, as a single mother with two daughters, she ran a successful dress shop in Wath-on-Dearne, north of Rotherham, but moved back to Dorset in 1995 to be with her friends of earlier days. With two grandsons and two granddaughters she still found time to support the Sutton Poyntz Society over many years, tending the flowers in the flower tub that forms the welcome to Sutton Poyntz and delivering, literally in all weathers, the Society Newsletters to ensure that her round was one of the first to receive their copies. Despite what life threw at her she was always a positive, happy and fun-loving character. Despite the sadness of her passing, her family and friends will remember and laugh at experiences they enjoyed with her. She will be missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her.
There will be a service at St Andrew's Church, at 12.45 on Wednesday 6 April.
3 March 2016 - Fredy Litschi
It is so very sad to learn of the death announced today of Fredy Litschi at Agincourt Care Home on Saturday 27 February. Fredy was born in Germany but at heart he was a Dorset man who loved the village of Sutton Poyntz, where he and wife Joyce moved in 1966 to live in Camelot on Sutton Road. A founder member of the Sutton Poyntz Society he will be sadly missed, and our thoughts must be with his daughter Isolde and all his family.
A commemoration service will be held at St Andrew's church in early May.

14 February 2016 - Plaisters Lane Planning Applications
Dear all
At the W&PBC Planning Meeting on Thursday 11 February attended by Mike Blee, Chairman of the SP Society plus many other villagers and members of the Society, the following two applications were considered.
1. WP/15/00081/FUL LAND TO SOUTH OF MORLANDS Erect 3 dwellings with associated parking and landscaping (North Site)
2. WP/15/00088/FUL LAND OFF PLAISTERS LANE Erect 9 dwellings (4 affordable) with associated parking and landscaping (South Site)
In both cases planning permission was refused.
It was considered that the proposed developments would be located outside the defined development boundary as set out in the adopted West Dorset, Weymouth & Portland Local Plan and would also lie within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). They would as a result involve an unacceptable and adverse visual impact when seen from the wider AONB and the existing village. The benefits arising from the development do not outweigh these adverse visual impacts.
An additional reason in each case related to the provision of affordable housing.
Under Application 1 there was no Section 106 Agreement in place as regards affordable housing, contrary to Policy HOUS1 of the adopted WD, W&PBC Local Plan.
Under Application 2 the proposed affordable housing element of the proposed development appeared unduly cramped in appearance and as such would be contrary to Policy ENV10 and ENV12 of the adopted WD, W&PBC Local Plan.
