The following documents identify the areas of Poole Planning where the Society considers that it is important to have and express an opinion. The responses and comments represent the Society and not an individual. All comments are carefully considered and highlight views regarding maintaining and improving the built environment within Poole. It is accepted that change happens; housing densities must increase to preserve the green belt. However, it is important to maintain and enhance the character and feel of the town and surrounding areas so as to ensure they continue to develop as one of the best places to live in the UK.
