Objectors said it was the wrong location and claimed it could have a big impact on residents and local tourismPlans in north Cornwall for what would have been one of the largest crematoriums in the UK have been quashed by the High Court.
Cornwall Council wanted to build the Atlantic View Crematorium next to the A39 at Poundstock, near Bude. However, objectors questioned the viability of the project, saying it was in the wrong location and claiming that it could have major impacts on residents and local tourism.The plan, which would have involved building on a 14-acre rural site, was granted permission by the council’s strategic planning committee last November despite hundreds of objections from residents.
It had been proposed on the basis of providing a facility for people in north Cornwall and Devon who would have had to travel long distances to Bodmin or Barnstaple to access the nearest such facility. Applicant the Atlantic View Crematorium Consortium said that Bodmin's crematorium was operating at 130% capacity as of 2019 and families were having to wait more than three weeks for services., Judge Sir Duncan Ouseley quashed the permission, finding that a planning officer’s report gave a "seriously misleading" overall impression of the evidence concerning the project’s viability.
