Plan For New Homes at Blandford Forum Approved

Dorset Council’s Northern Area Planning Committee members have voted strongly to support our proposed project on land northeast of Blandford Forum. This comes after extensive consultation and engagement with the community.

The new plans sought full planning consent for 150 new family homes and outline planning permission for a further 340 on a site adjoining the A354 and A350. The project will also provide new pedestrian and cycle connections and 30% of the homes will be affordable. We will plant over 2,000 new trees throughout the site and more than 40 acres of public open space will make up nearly 50% of the development.

The new homes will prioritise energy efficiency and use advanced technologies to minimise CO2 emissions. This includes high levels of insulation, top-tier glazing, solar PV panels, wastewater heat recovery and heat pumps.

Furthermore, this development will set aside land for a potential future school, allotments, a community hall, shops, and play facilities. It will also establish new cycling and pedestrian pathways and improve bus infrastructure, with upgraded stops and the possibility of extending existing routes.

Speaking at the Dorset Council’s Northern Planning Committee, David Wyatt, CEO said “We are proud of the places we create and committed to building well-designed, high-quality homes using local materials and locally based contractors.

“We will do our utmost to make this an exceptional development that not only Wyatt Homes is proud of, but the local community is proud of too.”

Tim Hoskinson, Planning Director said “We are delighted with this strong positive endorsement by the planning committee, these plans are the largest zero carbon ready application that has come before the planning committee, will deliver much needed new homes including vital affordable homes in Dorset.

“We would like to thank those who commented on the plans during the extensive public consultation over several years, as well as Dorset councillors, those on the Planning Committee and Council Officers. This is a complex application and the comprehensive level of scrutiny by officers and detailed consideration by members shows the planning system working at its best.”

The property market is notoriously unpredictable. Unfortunately, property chains and slow sales progression mean around a third of property sales will fall through before completion.
