DORSET council are considering whether they should approve plans for 34 “affordable residential dwellings” in an East Dorset village. Sovereign Housing Association and Coda Homes have submitted an application to build an entry level exception site for the provision of 34 affordable houses on land behind Hilbury Road, Alderholt. If approved, the houses will come with associated access, parking and landscaping together with alterations to 17 Hilbury Road. The land is currently used for grazing, and the build will need altered vehicle access, altered pedestrian access and a new public road. Furthermore, 74 parking spaces will be created if the plans are approved. Of the 34 homes proposed, 22 will be two-bedroom houses and 12 will be three-bedroom.
