Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the provision of infrastructure, namely affordable housing, public open space and public healthcare provision would be justified, having regard to the viability review mechanism obligation within the s106 agreement
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to the Bude Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal was found to comply with the development plan taken as a whole, with the substantial housing, elderly accommodation and other benefits outweighing only a limited policy conflict, and no harm identified to the Conservation Area.

The significant benefits of housing delivery, specialist elderly accommodation, brownfield reuse, sustainable location and economic benefit outweighed the limited conflict with NP Policy 6, and no adverse effects were found to significantly and demonstrably outweigh these benefits, so the proposal was found to comply with the development plan as a whole.
