I COMPLETELY agree with the letter on housing in the New Blackmore Vale (‘How much housing is enough?’, Letters, April 28).
We are led to believe our natural resources are running out yet the councils are allowing developers to pour concrete in the ground in every town and village and build sub-standard houses on top.
How many of these developments all over Dorset have solar panels instead of mains electric, heat source pumps instead of mains gas, triple-glazing and adequate parking – the answer is none.

If the council refuses planning the developers give a sweetener such as a play area or a monetary gift.
It is about time councillors woke up and listened to the public before they ruin the county of Dorset – they have already ruined a lot of our towns and villages.
