COUNCILLORS in Fordingbridge have objected to proposals to build nearly 100 homes.
The plans were discussed by Fordingbridge Town Council’s planning committee last week.
At a previous meeting Councillor Alan Lewendon questioned whether this development, which was not designated in New Forest District Council’s (NFDC) Local Plan, was needed as the three sites already allocated should address housing needs. He also said it was outside the defined built up area of Fordingbridge.
Planning agent James Cain, speaking on behalf of the applicant, said the proposed development would provide 21 “affordable” homes and also “cater for a full range of people in Fordingbridge”.
