AN ESTIMATED 200 people attended the Binhamy Farm residential development consultation in Bude last Friday (October 26).

Planning permission was granted for 340 homes, employment, retirement village, extra care facility, retail (discount and non-food), land for a new community building, public open space and landscaping on Binhamy Farm, causing much discourse for Bude residents.

Malcolm Gilmore, of Bovis Home Ltd, housing developer for the Binhamy project said he came away "with a positive feeling" after talking to many residents about their concerns.
