Bodmin care facility development proposals

Overview

In Bodmin, Cornwall Council has engaged with two distinct proposals regarding care and residential facilities.

First, the council expressed support for a plan by Alpus and Lime Developments to convert the former Belmont House Nursing Home on Love Lane into specialized social housing. The project aims to create 13 self-contained units, including eight flats and five bungalows, to address a shortage of adapted housing for vulnerable and disabled individuals. The council noted that the local need for specialist provision provides ‘substantial weight in the planning balance in favour of the development’.

Separately, Cornwall Council granted conditional planning approval for the expansion of St Petroc’s Care Home on St Nicholas Street. Proposed by Stonehaven Care, the project involves structural changes to the Grade II listed building, including the demolition of a modern staircase ‘link’ and the construction of extensions to a bedroom annex. The expansion, which includes a platform lift to improve accessibility, intends to add three bedrooms. The proposal encountered seven objections from local residents regarding privacy, the use of materials in a conservation area, and the loss of natural light for neighboring properties.
