New housing in Dorset Council
We don't read Dorset Council's planning register yet, so reports on fields here rely on national data: Green Belt, flood zones, protected land, farmland quality and how close a field is to a town or village.
It delivered 88% of the homes it needed in the 2025 Housing Delivery Test, below 95%, so it must publish an action plan to speed up delivery.
