Fury, as Dorset faces building madness.
Stormy times ahead! for Dorset residents
A recent report in the Dorset Echo makes for interesting, if not disturbing, reading. We quote:
IT'S a plan that could make large parts of Dorset almost unrecognisable to today's residents.
While the very mention of a government report with a name like "Regional Spatial Strategy" might be enough to send most people to sleep, some of the results should wake you up again with a jolt.
They include:
Practically the end of Bournemouth's green belt, with 1,500 homes to be built on it by 2026 - plus another 14,600 in the rest of the borough. That could mean the biggest housing development since the estates at Chaseside, Throop and Muscliff were built more than 20 years ago.
10,000 new homes in Poole.
600 homes on Christchurch's green belt and 2,850 elsewhere in the town.
2,750 new homes on green belt at Lytchett Minster, Lytchett Matravers and Upton, with 2,400 more in the rest of Purbeck.
6,400 homes in East Dorset, including 2,400 on controversial sites at West Parley, Corfe Mullen and Wimborne l 7,000 homes in North Dorset.
48,100 new homes in total across South East Dorset by 2026.
......One is Bill Bryson - best-selling author, president of the Campaign to Protect Rural England and one-time Echo employee.
Visiting West Parley last year, he said the government should be looking at developing brownfield sites in the north of England rather than precious green belt in counties such as Dorset.
"A great deal of Bournemouth is almost completely unrecognisable to me now," he said. "But the countryside has changed much, much less, and that's a good thing, and that's why the housing plan worries me." Unquote.
Bill Bryson is, of course, wrong inasmuch as he claims that development should be redirected to the north of England. As some 80% of the Government's housing proposals are to provide homes for the 5 million new migrants due in Britain over the next twenty years, then it is clear that a total ban of this migration will negate the need for 80% of the housing "demand". We should be campaigning against the cause of the illness (immigration) - not its symtoms (housing shortage)!
Fortunately Dorset residents are slowly waking up to the BNPs environmental policies, and Dorset BNP's presence is being felt in local elections.
