Hayle Harbour Development
16 May 2008On Thursday, 15 May 2008, the outline planning application for the harbour development was advertised in the Cornishman – the clock is now ticking.
The public exhibition at Foundry Square opened the same day and runs until Saturday, 17 May.

Hayle Area Plan
12 February 2008Dear John Bennett – thank you for making this point. The Hayle Area Action Plan will have a momentous effect on Hayle – what it looks like, what it is like to live here and for children to grow up in. I am keen to see Hayle prosper but have major concerns about the proposals [...]
Hayle Area Action Plan and Gypsies

30 August 2007Penwith District Council voted on the 29th of August to implement a new dog control regime that is less restrictive that the current one but which is more likely to be enforced.
The new rules restrict dogs on certain beaches (the same ones as before) from May 1st to September 30th. Previously this was from [...]
Unitary Council
5 August 2007It was not a surprise to most district councillors that the government approved the County Council’s bid for a Unitary Council. It does, whoever, make a mockery of the statement that the intention is to improve democracy in the county when around 9 in 10 residents voted against it.
I am frequently asked what will [...]
The Draft Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS)
26 April 2007RSS could just as easily stand for Really Stupid Suggestions.
Unfortunately, Cornwall falls under the South West Region which includes Swindon and Bristol and whose northernmost tip is closer to Scotland than to Hayle! Consequently planners ‘up country’ have no inkling about Cornwall and its special needs.
The premise of the RSS is a good one. [...]
