Planning committee

Decided by Cornwall West Sub-Area Planning Committee on 22 Jun 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Approved unanimously

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because housing benefits outweighed localised landscape harm, subject to conditions and a legal agreement.
  • Objectors raised concerns about planning policy, highway safety, drainage, infrastructure, ecology, character and residential amenity.
  • The committee unanimously delegated approval, subject to conditions and completion of a legal agreement.

Site constraints 3

Habitat network: Network Expansion Zone
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
1 listed building within 150 m; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 24 September 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
