What could happen
Here are just some of the things that we think could happen if the Regional Spatial Strategy/East Dorset District Council proposals are allowed to become policy:
- an extra 1500 cars and commercial vehicles exiting and entering at the top of Pardy's Hill
- over 100 additional children crowding into the already overcrowded local schools
- chaos and danger when this additional traffic enters and exits the A31
- about 700 dwellings crammed into the Pardy's Hill area
- about 280 affordable dwellings squeezed in at 16 per acre
- integration of small, workshop-style employment buildings in the new housing area
- the most beautiful piece of Corfe Mullen green belt land gone forever
- numerous wildlife, flora and fauna never to be seen again
- about 700 dwellings in a Water Source Protection Area
- a devastating effect on service from doctors, dentists and hospitals
- the knock-on traffic congestion effect throughout Corfe Mullen and Broadstone
- although they are proposing up to 700 new dwellings now, it could be more!
