SO AN “emotional plea for affordable homes” (Echo 21 July) persuaded our county councillors to ignore the carefully considered advice of the council’s own Planning Officer, and their own Local Plan, and to provisionally approve a large development of 80 homes on a green field in Broadmayne village. Councillor Graham Carr-Jones (North Dorset) who made the emotional plea, told the meeting that 100% of the homes would be affordable. And he said that 100 people on the housing register want to live there. If that were true, why did few, if any, of them contact the council to support the scheme?
