The Future Studland survey is now live! This is a key step in creating a 20 – 50 year plan for the Studland peninsula. Following successful engagement events with residents in early July the survey is now available to all to take part. Whether you are a local resident, a visitor or someone who holds Studland close to your heart, this is an opportunity to help shape the future of this beloved area. The survey responses will inform the Future Studland plan that will shape the stewardship of Studland’s natural beauty and accessibility for future generations.
The survey explores how and when people visit, their connection with its natural landscapes, and the how they use the existing facilities. It will build a picture of the peninsula as it is used now and an provide insight as to how people would like to continue using it whilst facing the challenges of coastal change.
Also, look out for the Dorset Coast Forum team popping up on Studland beaches throughout August to engage with Studland visitors and encourage them to share their views by taking part in the survey.
Paper copies of the survey are available at the Studland Village Shop and the National Trust Knoll Beach Visitors Centre.
The Outline Business Case for the Coastal Transition Accelerator Programme (CTAP) in Charmouth is currently being written, and we would value your feedback on options being considered. This list of options has been created using feedback from the community and key stakeholders.
Thank you if you were able to join us at one of our engagement events. This survey closed on 31 July 2024
