Excellent news to report today that the appeal to build a residential care home on Mably Way behind the health centre has been dismissed. As I reported here earlier in the month, I attended the hearing at Abingdon and took part in the discussions with the Planning Inspector who was very keen to hear all sides of the debate. The refusal by the Vale planning committee is therefore upheld.
The decision notice concludes:
"Notwithstanding the conclusions on design, parking, flooding and employment, it is the detrimental effect the proposal would have on the provision of future Health Care provision in the area that is the determining factor in this appeal."
We can now look forward to the future expansion of the GP surgeries on the site and to more local healthcare being provided for the community.
