It is vital that as many people as possible write to the Minerals Planning Officers at Dorset County Council and let them know that if the Phillios farm site is included in the Minerals Plan for gravel extraction, then you would object most strongly.

	You could also write to Aggregate Industries (the gravel extraction company) saying you would oppose any plans to extract  gravel from this site.
	You could also write to the Landowners consisting of the Drax's (Bere Regis Estate) and the Bradfords saying how you object to gravel extraction taking place on the site.
	You could write to the Forest Commission and object to the planned use of Wareham Forest

Today, with the widespread concerns about the future of the countryside, mineral operators are taking great care to minimise the impact of their operations on the rural environment and local communities. Most have environmental codes of practice and liase with local authorities aiming to ensure that the operations are as acceptable as possible in these sensitive areas. These codes of practice are often imposed by the local authority when planning permission is granted. Inevitably though, conflicting views prevail about many of these issues. That said by providing these links we encourage you to inform, enquire or otherwise engage with as many of the conservation bodies as possible. Rage are concerned that while the 're-instatement' plans provide [arguably] diverse enhanced alternative bio-diverse landscapes, these are by their nature are artificial and are no justification and provide no compensation for the damage already deployed on the site or that which will occur by the destruction of established hedgerows and woodlands.   Organisation/Name Position Address Telephone Number Email Web site Conservation Foundation The Secretary Conservation Foundation 1 Kensington Gore LONDON SW7 2AR 0207 591 3111 www.conservationfoundation.co.uk Dorset Wildlife Trust, Brooklands Farm, Forston, Dorchester, Dorset, DT2 7AA 01305 264620. enquiries@dorsetwildlife.co.uk www.dorsetwildlife.co.uk Dorset AONB AONB Office The Barracks,Bridgeport Road, Dorchester,Dorset DT1 1RN 01305 756782 www.dorsetaonb.org.uk Dorset Month Group webmaster@dorsetmothgroup.org.uk www.dorsetmothgroup.org.uk   Wildfowl and Wetland Trust WWT Slimbridge, Glos GL2 7BT Tel: 01453 891900 press 9 for a list of options Fax: (01453) 890 827 threatenedspecies@wwt.org.uk www.wwt.org.uk The Herpetological Conservation Trust 655A Christchurch Road,  Boscombe, Bournemouth, Dorset BH1 4AP Tel: (44) 01202 391319   Fax: (44) 01202 392785 see their site for form www.herpconstrust.org.uk Butterfly Conservation Dorset Branch Manor Yard, East Lulworth,Wareham, Dorset BH20 5QP Telephone: 0870 7744309 Fax: 01929 400210 briandicker@beeb.net www.dorsetbutterflies.co.uk English Nature The Secretary www.english-nature.org.uk The Environment Agency The Secretary www.environment-agency.gov.uk Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs The Secretary (Elliot Morely) Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Nobel House 17 Smith Square LONDON SW1P 3JR www.defra.gov.uk Rural Development Scheme The Secretary Royal Society for Protection of Birds (RSPB) Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts The Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts The Kiln Waterside Mather Road Newark Nottinghamshire NG24 1WT Sample Objection Letters Sample Objection letter 1 to Dorset County Council Sample Objection letter 2 of Dorset County Council Sample Objection letter 3 to Dorset County Council Sample Objection letter 4 to Dorset County Council Sample Objection letter 5 to Dorset County Council.doc Sample Objection letter 6 to Dorset County Council .doc Sample Objection letter 7to Dorset County Council .doc
