Affordable homes to be built at Pleydells Farm in North Dorset
PLANS to build dozens of homes in a north Dorset village have been approved.Concerns had been raised that the 27-home development of Pleydells Farm would add to the “dreadful” traffic problems in Okeford Fitzpaine.However, P and J Okeford Fitzpaine said its proposals, including having 40 per cent of the houses be ‘affordable’, would make a “significant and sustainable” contribution to the area’s housing need.A statement submitted with the application said the site was “ideal” for providing new housing.However, people living in the village said they feared the impact the extra housing could have on traffic.Despite their concerns, no objections were put forward by council highways officers and the application has been approved by Dorset Council.Planning permission was granted on Tuesday.
