To meet this objective the charity seeks charitable donations and subscriptions from the public. The Charity is regulated by a revised Constitution, approved in November 2015, and is constituted as an un-incorporated association. ## **Branch Trustees** The following officers of the charity held office at 31st August 2021: |Mr Peter Bowyer|Chair of Trustees| |---|---| |Dr Guy Dickinson|Vice-Chair of Trustees| |Mr Richard Norman|Treasurer| |Dr John Larkin|| |Mrs Sandra Brown|| |Mr Steve O’ Connell|| |Mrs Jane Westbrook|| The Trustees are elected each year at the Annual General Meeting held in November. The Chair of Trustees is elected at the first Trustees Meeting, held in December, following the AGM. ## **Organisation** The Charity is an autonomous branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England. The organisational structure has up to seven Trustees dealing with the finances, administration, and our responsibilities to the Charity Commission and National CPRE. In the Countryside Forum, countryside specialists and invited experts focus on specific problems and priorities. The Secretary runs the office and is recruited by the Branch Trustees on a self-employed basis. ## **COVID-19** The Dorset CPRE is run from a home office and since April 2020 we have held virtual Countryside Forum & Trustees Meetings using Zoom. The popularity of virtual meetings has enabled volunteers to join in National CPRE, CPRE South West and external meetings without the need to travel. Our local district groups are also holding committee meetings using Zoom where possible. Some face to face events started to resume from September 2021 with the option of using Zoom as needed. Our 2021 AGM to be held on 21st November will be a hybrid event. ## **Grants were provided for the following main projects:** ## **Dorset CPRE:** Fingerposts £ 1,180 Trees For Dorset £ 300 Morden Holiday Park Legal Advice: £18,960 Page 2 ## **Campaign to Protect Rural England Dorset Branch** ## **Trustees' Report** Charlton Marshall Objection: £ 1,350 Draft Response to Dorset Council Local Plan £ 1,536 Stop Portland Waste Incinerator £ 1,000 STAND (Save The Area North of Dorchester): ½ Cost of Leaflet £ 466.46 ## **North Dorset Group** Pimperne Parish Council Legal Advice regarding Neighbourhood Plan £ 1,000 Fingerpost £ 130 Total £25,922.46 Dorset CPRE will consider giving money to causes as well as campaigns that meet our charitable objectives. We set aside around £30k per year, previously £20k, for grants and fund requests. We have sought professional advice regarding investing a legacy received in 2020 and have considered possible uses of this. The current Reserves Policy will be updated in light of these decisions. ## **Review of Activities and Future Development** The statement of financial activities for the year and the balance sheet are set out on the attached pages. This last year has been another active and successful one and may be summarised as follows: ## **A Strategy for Dorset’s Towns, Villages and Countryside** In August 2020, Dorset CPRE evolved a refreshed and dynamic strategy, to guide the Branch as it addresses issues including planning, landscape, rural economy and farming, campaigns and projects, membership, organisation, influencing Opinion Leaders and Dorset Decision Makers, and climate change and nature emergency. The next six to nine months are truly interesting times. We have a new Minister responsible for planning, a draft bill on the Environment, COP26 conference, a report from Dorset Council on the consultation on the Dorset Local Plan and the outcomes of the CPRE Governance Review. Each of these matters are important for Dorset CPRE and the countryside. Each of these matters involves choices and even trade-offs. On the recently published summary of responses to the consultation on the Draft Local Plan, Dorset CPRE is undertaking analysis of the responses and what they purport to show. The report will assist Dorset CPRE and others in how they will be able to supply evidence to further stages of the process for the Dorset Local Plan. ## **Planning** The majority of our work over the past year revolves around the Dorset Council Local Plan and future BCP Council Local Plan. Leading up to the consultation deadline we voiced strong criticism of both Dorset Council’s Local Plan, and also the consultation process in the local media and via our monthly e-newsletter. The Local Plan is very important as it will decide the future development of Dorset until 2038 and we urged everyone to respond. Page 3 ## **Campaign to Protect Rural England Dorset Branch** ## **Trustees' Report** Our response to the Dorset Council Local Plan was prepared by Jo Witherden, Dorset Planning Consultant, and summarised the basis for Dorset CPRE’s objections to the draft Local Plan. It included suggestions for key changes and actions that we believe Dorset Council should consider, in order to produce a truly sustainable and inspiring Local Plan that has the community’s interests and the environment at its heart. We also submitted two additional reports regarding Renewable Energy issues and Flood Risk. Responses were also submitted by our District Groups. Dorset CPRE wants to work constructively to help the Dorset Council develop a sound plan which meets the needs of our communities and helps them to thrive sustainably. We argue that Dorset does not have the capacity to accommodate significant development because of the outstanding quality of its environment and heritage, including its designated areas e.g., the AONBs, Green Belts, Sites of Special Scientific Interest. We argue, and are working on the case to demonstrate, that Dorset has exceptional circumstances which would justify the use for planning purposes of lower housing numbers than the high target adopted by Dorset Council. In addition, the growing concerns associated with the Climate and Ecological Emergencies make the case for a Re-think of the Dorset Local Plan an imperative for us all. We want to see better-designed homes, including genuinely affordable homes, of appropriate sizes, and developments of appropriate scale, with a serious "brownfield first" policy and built where they are needed. In a big success for the countryside, last month the Prime Minister used his major Conservative Party Conference speech to signal a commitment to protecting our green spaces from unscrupulous development and signalled a brownfield-first approach to new building. ## **Landscape** National CPRE produced an updated ‘Beauty betrayed’ report last published in 2017, which investigated the scale at which housing development was being proposed and built in AONB designated areas. We contributed local case studies which included Vearse Farm in Bridport, Spyway Orchard in Langton Matravers, and examples from North Dorset in the Cranborne Chase AONB. Earlier this year lawyers acting for Dorset CPRE (costing nearly £19k) raised valid objections to a proposed holiday park for 100 units plus an associated SANG (Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspaces) in the Green Belt. These objections seem to have convinced Dorset Council which has indicated it would not object to deletion of the area identified for the holiday park and for release from the Green Belt at Morden, from the proposed Local Plan. The Inspector has asked Dorset Council to consider withdrawing the Purbeck Local Plan altogether, but Dorset Council remain keen to get the Purbeck Local Plan completed. Residents in Charlton Marshall celebrated in March the dismissal of an appeal by Hallam Land Management to build 70 homes outside the settlement boundary. Dorset CPRE provided financial support for the action group’s Transport Consultant to appear at the Appeal, while North Dorset CPRE gave active advice. We promoted the CPRE Star count 2021. Between 6-14th February we asked residents to help us map the nation’s view of the night sky by counting the number of stars you can see in the constellation of Orion. Dark night skies are a special quality of the Dorset AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) & Cranborne Chase AONB and contribute to the area’s sense of tranquillity and remoteness. The results showed that 2021 saw much lower reports of bad light pollution across the UK than in 2020. We think that this might be down to a ‘lockdown effect’, with quieter urban areas and fewer large buildings in operation, it’s likely there’s less glow or leakage into our night skies. We continue to participate in the Litter Free Dorset Working Group meetings. The long awaited Deposit Return Scheme for recycling of drinks containers announced by minsters in 2018 looks set to be delayed until the end of 2024. We promoted the Love Your Verge campaign, launched in April 2021. 289 signs featuring four characters (a hedgehog, mouse, bee, and grass snake) are displayed on the verges around Dorset. Page 4 ## **Campaign to Protect Rural England Dorset Branch** ## **Trustees' Report** ## **Climate and Ecological Emergency Strategy** In January we responded to the Dorset Council survey ‘What do you think about our plans to tackle the climate and ecological emergency?’. The climate and ecological emergencies pose a massive challenge, which will demand leadership from the Council and widespread action by the people, communities, enterprises and organisations in the county. We provided a comprehensive response to the Renewable Energy detailed technical paper and supporting document, and referred to our strong objection to the proposed waste incinerator on Portland given its location. ## **Dorset National Park** Dorset CPRE supports the designation of a National Park which would bring benefits and opportunities for our communities, economy, environment and heritage and for the Dorset Council. The National Park team has accepted an invitation from Natural England to be involved in the further assessment of the Dorset proposal which has been shortlisted for further evaluation. ## **Hedgerow Heroes** We are delighted to link up with CPRE Hampshire to support the restoration of hedgerows. It is part of a new CPRE project, called Hedgerow Heroes, to plant or restore over 15 kilometres of hedges across the country. The site, the Hinton Admiral Estate, is on the Dorset/Hampshire border just to the north-east of Christchurch. The project involves the planting of 1.7 kilometres of new hedgerows and improving a further 1.3 kilometres of existing hedgerows to create a better habitat for wildlife. The planting will begin mid-November to late December. Volunteers have come forward to help with surveys and join in a Beginners’ Course in Hedgelaying. ## **Grants and Sponsorship** Linked to the Hedgerow Heros project, we are providing funding for the cost of plants for new hedgerows at two secondary schools in the Christchurch area. Following the 2020 legacy, we are launching a School Award’s Scheme the ‘Barbara Vance Countryside Prize’ for 6th Form students, in 19 secondary schools and colleges across the whole of Dorset, during the Autumn 2021 term. We continue to offer grants of up to £200 per request for Fingerpost repairs and this is advertised in the Dorset AONB Fingerpost Project website. Currently we have spent £15,352 on grants for 105 fingerposts with a further 16 that have been approved but not paid for. This will be reviewed when we reach the new approved total of £20k. Dorset CPRE were due to sponsor for the eighth year running the class ‘Best Village Shop’, in the Best Dorset Village Competition run by Magna Housing, however, it was cancelled again due to COVID-19. We continue to encourage members and Dorset residents to support the county’s many quality food-and-drink producers, local village shops and pubs ‘The beating hearts of our rural communities’ who have been hard hit by closures over the past 18 months. Page 5 ## **Campaign to Protect Rural England Dorset Branch** ## **Trustees' Report** ## **Rural Economy and Farming** Shaun Leavey has written a reflection on changes in Farming over the last eighty years and the perfect storm bearing down on our Dorset Landscape. The main long-term threat to the Dorset Landscape is from a total absence of any clear English government strategy for our farming industry. Dorset farmers are faced with a progressive decrease in the subsidy that they are paid. The Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMS) is not yet available. If farmers cannot use their farmland profitably for food production then they may have to look at diversifying their businesses to use their land and buildings for non-farming purposes. Done well, such as a farm shop or conversion of redundant buildings to holiday accommodation or offices it has great merit. Residents of the Sherborne area now have the facility of buying their milk from one of the farms that border the town. Done badly, farm diversification, either through desperation or lack of management expertise, can be a disaster for the countryside. Dorset CPRE’s remit is not just to protect the countryside but to support our rural communities. To that end Rupert Hardy wrote an article in our spring magazine on how pubs and village shops are the beating heats of our communities. We continue to promote quality local food producers. We featured an article on Dorset’s Best Muesli and Granola Makers in the Spring edition of our magazine ‘The Dorset Review’. ## **Membership** Total membership as at 31st August 2021 is 1,160 (1,173 in 2020, 1.1% decrease on last year) and includes Organisations, Civic Societies and Parish/Town Council Members. We are working to be more proactive and increase membership in the BCP Council area. As a first step we researched relevant societies/groups in the BCP Council area. A copy of our magazine was sent with a cover letter to the contact list in January to introduce our organisation. We followed this up with our monthly e-newsletter. We shall welcome any ideas and offers of help to take this forward. ## **Newsletter and Social Media** Members continue to be kept informed of our work through the well-received bi-annual magazine ‘The Dorset Review’, social media, e-newsletters and press releases. Since February 2021 we have sent monthly e-newsletters to our members, Parish and Town Councils, Councillors, like minded organisations and those who signed up to receive our e-newsletter. Twitter and a Facebook page help us to engage with a new audience and increase our presence on social network sites. Dorset CPRE’s website provides useful information, responses to consultations, and updates on current campaigns and events. ## **Finances** The branch finances remain healthy. A great contribution is made by active member volunteers. We are grateful for the many hours volunteers spend vetting planning applications, considering consultations, attending meetings & events (the majority are online) and assisting with campaigns. Our monthly Planning Group meetings, started in February 2021, have enabled more volunteers to come forward and make a valuable contribution. The Trustees continually review the Charity’s major risks and are confident that there are systems set up to mitigate them. The Trustees review the reserves at regular intervals to ensure the long-term survival of the charity. All trustees give their time voluntarily and received no remuneration or other benefits.

Mr P Bowyer Trustee Page 7 ## **Campaign to Protect Rural England Dorset Branch** ## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Campaign to Protect Rural England Dorset Branch** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2021 which are set out on pages 9 to 18. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or - the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement - 3. that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ......................................

Mr R H Norman Trustee The notes on pages 11 to 18 form an integral part of these financial statements. Page 10 ## **Campaign to Protect Rural England Dorset Branch** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2021** ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **Statement of compliance** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. ## **Basis of preparation** Campaign to Protect Rural England Dorset Branch meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. ## **Going concern** The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. ## **Income and endowments** Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. ## _**Donations and legacies**_ Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured. ## **Expenditure** All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. ## _**Raising funds**_ These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. ## **Support costs** Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Page 11 ## **Campaign to Protect Rural England Dorset Branch** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2021** ## **Taxation** The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. ## **Tangible fixed assets** Fixed assets for charity use are capitalised at cost.They are stated in the accounts at cost less depreciation. ## **Depreciation and amortisation** Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: ## **Asset class** Fixtures, fittings and equipment **Depreciation method and rate** 20% straight line basis ## **Fixed asset investments** Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal. Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end. ## **Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. ## **Fund structure** Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.
