View of the small development of affordable housing for local people on West Road, West Allington. The not-for-profit Hastoe Housing Association is working in partnership with West Dorset District Council, C G Fry the local builders and the Symene Community Land Trust to deliver the homes. They were originally to be built in Symondsbury parish but suitable land couldn't be acquired, so they are just inside Allington The houses are being built specifically for people with a connection to the area; it is a welcome move in an area where most new development is unaffordable by locals and becomes retirement or second homes. There are only ten houses in total, but at least it's a start. 6 are two-bedroom, 3 three-bedroom and 1 four-bedroom. One of the two-bedroom and one of the three-bedroom houses will be shared equity with the others being for rent.

The Medical Centre car park is on the right of the picture with allotments in the foreground. The larger area of established detached and semi-detached housing in the background is on the north side of West Allington/West Road, the road into Bridport from the A35 and the west. Allington Hill rises behind that.
