Plans for more than 300 new homes to be built on the edge of Exmouth have been given the go-ahead despite the scheme ‘lacking vision and being fit for the 20th, not 21st century.’ East Devon District Council’s planning committee on Wednesday morning almost unanimously backed the recommendation of officers to approve the scheme for the Goodmores Farm site at Hulham Road. Outline planning permission for the scheme was granted for up to 350 homes back in June 2018, which included only five per cent of the homes being affordable. And while councillors were upset with the lower than 25 per cent policy requirements, there was nothing they could do to change it as the principle of the development had previously been agreed.
