6 DESCRIPTION The site comprises brownfield land extending to approximately 3.1 hectares (7.8 acres) and is broadly rectangular in shape. The site was previously developed with a number of hospital buildings which were demolished to slab level over 2008/09. The site is now cleared save for two minor single storey buildings, areas of hardstanding / strip foundations, levelled spoil, trees and overgrown vegetation. There is a tarmac footpath along the southern boundary of the upper part of the site that runs between a security palisade fence and a hedge bank that forms the boundary with the school. The topography is such that the upper area near the road (the former car park) is fairly flat and level, while the rest of the site slopes away gradually towards the east. We would draw your attention to Ecology Reports within the Information Pack together with an Arboricultural Appraisal and BS 5837 Tree Survey undertaken by JP Associates, the latter of which identifies the quality of the trees present on site.

PLANNING The former Budock Hospital site is brownfield land located inside the Falmouth settlement boundary identified by the Carrick Local Plan (1998), approximately 1.5 miles from the town centre.

7 PLANNING The former Budock Hospital site is brownfield land located inside the Falmouth settlement boundary identified by the Carrick Local Plan (1998), approximately 1.5 miles from the town centre. As such, the site represents a sustainable redevelopment opportunity. At this time, Cornwall Council does not have an up to date development plan, and until such time as the emerging Cornwall Local Plan has been formally found to be sound at public examination, there remains a vacuum in up to date planning policy for Cornwall. In such circumstances the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) carries most weight in decision making. The NPPF is clear in stating a presumption in favour of sustainable development and encourages the re-use of previously developed land as one of its core planning principles. This view is supported by Cornwall Council s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment 2010 (SHLAA) which concluded that the Budock Hospital site is achievable, available and deliverable. Further information is provided in the Planning Brief within the Information Pack. Cornwall Council s emerging local plan recognises Falmouth as one of the principal settlements in Cornwall with good provision of employment opportunities, services and amenities. The emerging plan therefore promotes development growth at Falmouth. In respect of the potential redevelopment uses, the proximity of the site to core local services, facilities, public transport and employment opportunities make it a suitable candidate site for residential use.
