Borough of Poole needs to build an additional 5,000 new homes by 2033, to meet the growing housing need.
Poole’s current Core Strategy already sets out the borough’s approach to ensuring 10,000 homes are built by 2026 – but of the 14,200 new homes needed by 2033, just 9,200 are able to be developed on existing sites.
Yesterday they announced a review of the Local Plan that will look at where the missing 5,000 homes should go.
Here's the map of the sites and how many homes could be built on each.
(Note: we're putting together a more in depth look at some of the proposals, which will be online on Monday, with stories about each site to come in the next few weeks.)
Asterisks mean the site has been promoted to the council by developers.
