I have had a great harvest of broad beans this year from an October sowing. The beans are now finished so would it be OK to compost the spent plants which have chocolate spot on them?

Shouldn’t be a problem. I always throw mine on, I don’t think that there are many people who don’t get chocolate spot. Compost doesn’t just break down through heat, no one knows what fauna in the heap eats what, so I never worry.
PetePeat must be right here. I compost everything diseased (even potato blight) except white rot on alliums. My beans had chocolate spot and still cropped well.
