Would you agree with the aim of retaining the open plan nature of the estate by preserving
our green open amenity spaces and by supporting the aim of preserving the existing
mature trees as much as is possible.? If so please add your name to a residents
group / association that could more effectively seek support from local authorities..
Highland Park Estate ~ Wimborne, Dorset
A Residents Group / Association
could help the Highland Park Estate represent views
to the local authorities and assist discussions between ourselves.
Please support a group being formed to improve communication with the Local Authority
and ensure our estate environment - that many of the residents on our estate hold
in such high regard - remains as it was designed; spacious & with attractive shared
amenity areas.
* In 2015 a survey of all the houses on the estate showed that over 60% would
appreciate a Residents Group / Association.
* The actual percentage of those who expressed views and wanted a Residents Association
was 98%
* So what issues might benefit from having a community approach ? Certainly the
very essence of the estate lies in it being ‘open plan’ and any threat to this through
incremental - maybe uncontrolled changes would erode the overall environment. Preserving
the amenity areas will presrve the character of the estate.
* Pressures on parking and traffic flow can only increase as the developments around
Wimborne are realised.
Ownership levels of vehicles also increases as family members gain their driving
qualifications …. And of course other issues.
