Dorset Council has approved plans by Wyatt Homes on land northeast of Blandford Forum. The plans sought full consent for 150 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. Wyatt also plans to 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.
