Planning committee

Decided by Cornwall Central Sub-Area Planning Committee on 7 Apr 2026.

Approved by 5 votes to 2

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised granting permission in principle because the site was accessible, enclosed by development and would conserve the National Landscape.
  • The town council and other representations raised concerns about overdevelopment, privacy, trees, bats, access and drainage.
  • Members voted 5 to 2, with 1 abstention, to grant permission in principle, relying on the report’s reasons.

Site constraints 5

Cornwall National Landscape
Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.
Heritage coast: Gribbin Head - Polperro
A defined stretch of undeveloped coastline.
Development inconsistent with keeping the coast undeveloped is resisted.
Also on the record
Scheduled monument 221 m away: The Tristan Stone, early Christian memorial stone and wayside cross, 75m north of Polscoe; Inside the Fowey built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 2, 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 listed building at the site

Checked on 25 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.
