The Poole Council Planning Committee meeting, held at Hamworthy Sports Club on Wednesday 9th June didnt really surprise anyone when, in the teeth of strong opposition from pretty much all the public present, Bournemouth Council, Natural England, RSPB, Dorset Wildlife Trust, the ward councillors, the Herpetological Society, Talbot Village Residents, Branksome and Talbot Woods Residents and the Save Our Heath Facebook Group decided 5 to 3 to approve the plans submited for the proposed developments on the south of Wallisdown Road.
Poole gets the juicy council tax from 378 nice houses at about £1200 each while Bournemouth has to deal with the traffic that will be generated on the already stressed Wallisdown Road.
Conor Burns, the new MP for Bournemouth North has promised to take it up with the Home Secretary. The scrapping of the ludicrous housing targets imposed on the region by the last Government may well make this development even less attractive and perhaps this avenue may yet bear fruit.
