St Ives Bar Licence, Wadebridge Housing: Cornwall Council Update

This week in Cornwall:

St Ives Bar Licence Sparks Noise and Nuisance Fears

The Licensing Act Sub Committee convened to consider a new premises licence application for The Wreck Bar, located at 1 Fish Street in St Ives. The application, submitted by Ms Charlotte Jones, sought permission for live and recorded music, late-night refreshment, and the sale of alcohol both on and off the premises. The meeting highlighted the challenges of balancing business aspirations with the concerns of local residents regarding noise, anti-social behaviour, and public safety.

  • Police Concerns: The police suggested conditions relating to CCTV, door supervisors, and the removal of off-sales, and non-standard timings for all licensable activities, replacing them with a one-hour extension for specific authorised periods. Kelly Warburton, representing the police, noted that the current licence related to the premises being a restaurant, but following discussions with the applicant, this was no longer the case, as the premises is now a bar.
  • Environmental Protection Concerns: Michelle Cowie, Senior Environmental Protection Officer, raised concerns regarding noise levels, particularly if the premises operated solely as a sports bar and proposed conditions to mitigate noise, including noise limits, observations at the boundary of the premises, and control of noise in the outside area.
  • Resident Objections: Residents Savannah Overy and John Bedding from St Ives Ceramics, Tim and Caron Glews, Anne and John Barry Jackson, and Julie Patricia Samways, objected to the application, citing concerns about noise and disturbance, anti-social behaviour, public safety, and the impact on the amenity and character of the area.
  • Specific Concerns: Residents detailed observations of activity at The Wreck, including noise from customers and music, and a customer falling across Fish Street while intoxicated. Julie Patricia Samways cited concerns about excessive noise, antisocial behaviour, alcohol consumption outside the premises, public use of cannabis and tobacco, lack of licensed security personnel, illegal parking, children being exposed to groups of smokers, verbal abuse directed at residents, and the venue operating outside its intended scope as a sports bar.

The Sub-Committee's decision will have a direct impact on the quality of life for residents in the Fish Street area, as well as the viability of other local businesses.

Wadebridge Housing Development Sparks Sustainability Debate

The East Sub-Area Planning Committee convened to consider an outline application from Knowlton Holdings Ltd for the development of up to 92 residential dwellings at Land South Of Cleavelands, Wadebridge. The application, which only considered access, sparked debate about sustainable development, traffic impact, and the loss of agricultural land.

  • Councillor Concerns: Councillor Robin Moorcroft requested that the application be called to committee due to concerns relating to transport and public safety, and also that a similar albeit larger application was refused on this site several years ago.
  • Planning Officer Recommendation: The planning officer's report recommended that delegated authority be granted to the Chief Planning Officer to grant outline planning permission, subject to planning conditions and the completion of a Section 106 Planning Obligation to secure affordable housing, education contributions, public open space, transport contributions, and health contributions.
  • Previous Refusal: A previous application for a larger development of 190 dwellings on the same site was refused in 2016, and a subsequent appeal was dismissed in 2017, due to concerns about the loss of agricultural land, traffic impact, and the lack of a mechanism to secure necessary contributions.
  • Housing Supply Shortfall: The report noted that the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010 - 2030 housing supply policies are considered out of date because the Council is unable to demonstrate a 5-year supply of deliverable housing sites against the number calculated using the revised Standard Housing Methodology. Therefore, the tilted balance1 in paragraph 11(d) of the National Planning Policy Framework is engaged, in the overall planning balance.

The committee's decision will have a significant impact on the availability of housing in Wadebridge, as well as the local environment and infrastructure.

Bude Housing Plan Raises Concerns Over Countryside Encroachment

The East Sub-Area Planning Committee also considered an application for Permission in Principle for a proposed residential development comprising between 9 and 9 dwellings at Land North Of Lake View Drive, Bude. The application sparked concerns about the encroachment of development into the open countryside.

  • Councillor Concerns: Councillor Faye Emery requested that the application be called to committee because This scheme is a clear break from existing development at Flexbury and extends into the open countryside between Maer Lake and the Downs.
  • Planning Officer Recommendation: The planning officer's report recommended that Permission in Principle be Granted.
  • Neighbourhood Plan Support: The report stated that Policy 3 of the Bude-Stratton Neighbourhood Plan supports housing developments of up to 30 dwellings on sites within or adjacent to the settlements of Bude, Stratton, Flexbury and Poughill, subject to criteria.
  • Housing Supply Shortfall: The report noted that the Council cannot currently demonstrate a 5-year supply of housing land, meaning that some of the housing supply policies contained within the development plan are out of date, and that the National Planning Policy Framework therefore requires that permission should be granted unless any adverse impacts of doing so would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.

The committee's decision will determine whether this development proceeds, potentially altering the character of the Flexbury area and impacting the surrounding countryside.

Launceston Self-Build Project Rejected Over Location Concerns

The East Sub-Area Planning Committee considered an application for Outline Planning Permission for the construction of a self-build dwelling at Land South West Of Badgall Cottages, Launceston. The application was ultimately recommended for refusal due to its location in the open countryside and its impact on the Area of Great Landscape Value.

  • Councillor Support: Councillor Adam Paynter requested that the application be called to committee for the following reasons: lack of 5 year housing land supply means permission should be granted (under NPPF para 11 d ii), Policy 3 identifies Badgall as a sustainable location, site is well related to Badgall, as endorsed by the Interim Policy Position Statement, self-build and makes effective use of previously developed land, and public transport available linking Badgall to Launceston.
  • Planning Officer Recommendation: The planning officer's report recommended that the application be refused.
  • Open Countryside Location: The report stated that the application site is used for the keeping and grazing of horses and currently accommodates two field shelters, and that the site has a history of planning refusals for new dwellings, including a Dismissed Appeal. The report stated that the site is separated by the width of a field from the settlement of Badgall and appears distinct and divorced from it, and that the proposed development is not considered to represent infill or rounding off and whilst the site comprises previously developed land, it is not immediately adjoining the settlement, as required by Policy 3 of the Cornwall Local Plan.
  • Landscape Impact: The report also stated that the application site is located within the North Petherwin to St Clether Area of Great Landscape Value, and that residential development of the site would extend residential development into this otherwise largely rural/agricultural setting, urbanising and domesticating the character of the area.

The committee's decision reinforces the importance of protecting Cornwall's countryside and ensuring that new development is appropriately located and designed.

Upcoming Meetings

Here's a summary of the upcoming meetings and their main topics:

  1. The 'tilted balance' is a principle within the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) that applies when a local planning authority cannot demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites. In such cases, the NPPF instructs that planning permission should be granted unless any adverse impacts of doing so would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in the NPPF taken as a whole. ↩

Cornwall: Care Home Decision, Airport Future, Ethics Under Scrutiny

This week in Cornwall:

Council to Decide on Controversial Care Home Redevelopment in Lostwithiel

The Central Sub-Area Planning Committee is set to decide on a contentious planning application for the redevelopment of Meadowbrook House, a 42-bedroom care home in Lostwithiel. The proposal involves demolishing the existing facility and replacing it with a new 36-unit close care apartment building and a 77-bedroom care home. This decision could significantly impact the availability of care beds in the region and the character of the local area.

  • Local Concerns: Lostwithiel Town Council has objected to the application, citing concerns about parking, design inconsistencies with the neighborhood, and the impact on trees.
  • Heritage Impact: The application was called to committee due to concerns about the massing, density, and appearance of the proposed development in relation to the site's heritage context.
  • Care Needs: Cornwall Council Adult Care, Health and Wellbeing are supportive of the development, stating that it aligns with their strategic goals and that they forecast an extensive need for nursing placements across Cornwall.

The committee faces a difficult decision balancing the need for modern care facilities with the preservation of Lostwithiel's heritage and the concerns of local residents.

Ethical Complaints and Conduct Under Scrutiny at Standards Committee

The Standards Committee is scheduled to review a report on ethical standards complaints, revealing that 67 complaints were received in the first quarter of 2025-26, with 25 relating to Cornwall Councillors and 42 relating to town and parish councillors. This highlights ongoing concerns about conduct and ethical standards within local government.

  • Common Breaches: The most cited breaches of the code related to treating others with respect, maintaining high standards of conduct, and not bringing the council into disrepute.
  • Confidentiality Concerns: A large number of complaints did not proceed because requests for confidentiality were not granted.
  • Unreasonable Behaviour: The committee will also consider a review of the Unreasonable Customer Behaviour Policy, which aims to manage unacceptable customer behavior towards council staff and members.

These discussions underscore the importance of maintaining high ethical standards in local government and ensuring accountability for misconduct.

Council to Discuss Future of Newquay Airport Amid Financial Concerns

Cornwall Council's Cabinet will discuss the future of Cornwall Airport Newquay, including a recommendation to formally close 'Project Corduroy', which considered a joint venture for the airport. This decision comes amid ongoing financial concerns and questions about the airport's long-term sustainability.

  • Financial Subsidy: The direct operation of the airport requires a subsidy from Cornwall Council of around £4 million a year.
  • Commercial Opportunities: The Cabinet will consider a report recommending that Cornwall Airport Limited (CAL) leads on all matters related to the operational airport and associated land, with a focus on maximizing commercial value and opportunities.
  • Masterplan Development: CAL is asked to reinstate an Airport Consultative Forum and that a new masterplan be produced through a full resident and business engagement programme, with such masterplan to be presented to Cabinet for formal Council adoption in due course.

The future of Newquay Airport is a critical issue for Cornwall's economy and connectivity, and the Cabinet's decisions will have significant implications for the region.

Newquay food trailer sparks safety row, Fire service plan & more

This week in Cornwall:

Street Trading Consent Sparks Safety Concerns in Newquay

The Street Trading Sub Committee granted a street trading consent to JustCookedIn LA PEPA for a food trailer in Manor Road, Newquay, despite objections from the Newquay Business Improvement District (BID) 1 citing public safety concerns. This decision raises questions about how the council balances supporting local businesses with ensuring pedestrian and traffic safety in busy areas.

  • BID's Objection: The Newquay BID argued that Manor Road is unsuitable for trading due to its use as a through road for buses and coaches, potentially impacting public safety.
  • Council's Rationale: The committee noted that Highways had no objection, as the land was privately owned and not a publicly maintained highway. They also stated there was insufficient evidence to show that public safety would be undermined.
  • Recyclable Focus: The applicant, Ignacio Fernandez de Caleya Delgado, stated that he would offer Spanish and Mexican-inspired food using locally sourced produce, with vegetarian and vegan options. He also offered discounts for customers bringing their own cups and using recyclable takeaway containers.

While the committee acknowledged the BID's concerns, they ultimately decided that there was no overriding reason to refuse the application. This decision highlights the ongoing debate about how to best utilize public spaces and support local businesses while prioritizing public safety.

Fire Service Risk Plan Prioritizes Community Engagement After Inspection Criticism

The Community Wellbeing Overview and Scrutiny Committee discussed the Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service's (CFRS) Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP) 2026-2030, emphasizing the importance of community engagement following criticism from His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS). This focus on community input aims to ensure the plan effectively addresses the diverse needs of Cornwall's residents.

  • Limited Consultation: HMICFRS previously identified limited community consultation in the development of the CRMP 2022-2026, leading to an area for improvement for the service.
  • Engagement Plan: The consultation for the 2026-2030 plan is scheduled to open on July 28, 2025, for 12 weeks and includes a four-phase engagement and consultation plan.
  • Challenges Faced: The CFRS faces challenges including government reforms, population changes, new laws like the Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Building Safety Act 2022, economic pressures, technological advancements, and extreme weather events.

This renewed emphasis on community engagement underscores the CFRS's commitment to learning from past criticisms and ensuring its future plans are informed by the needs and concerns of the communities it serves.

Wing Shed Licence Approved Amid Resident Fears of Antisocial Behaviour

The Licensing Act Sub Committee approved a premises licence for the Wing Shed in London Apprentice, St Austell, despite strong objections from local residents concerned about dangerous parking, antisocial behaviour, and potential harm to children. This decision raises questions about how the council weighs the economic benefits of new businesses against the potential negative impacts on residential areas.

  • Resident Concerns: Residents cited issues such as dangerous parking, traffic congestion, noise nuisance, and public safety concerns, particularly for pedestrians and children.
  • Applicant's Response: The applicant outlined steps to promote the licensing objectives2, including CCTV installation, staff training, noise management, and a Challenge 25 policy3.
  • Disputed Claims: Several residents disputed the applicant's claims of community engagement and improvements in parking and noise levels, providing photographic evidence to support their concerns.

The decision to approve the licence, despite significant community opposition, highlights the challenges of balancing economic development with the quality of life for residents in local neighbourhoods.

School Transport Cuts & Renewable Energy Debate: Cornwall Council

This week in Cornwall:

School Transport Cuts Threaten Access to Education for Vulnerable Pupils

The Cornwall Council Appeals Committee convened to address requests for travel assistance for pupils across the region, but ultimately refused all but one appeal, which was withdrawn before the meeting. This decision raises concerns about equitable access to education, particularly for students from low-income families or those with special needs who rely on council support to attend school.

  • Limited Assistance: The committee denied travel assistance to students attending Wadebridge School, Penair School, Mounts Bay Academy, and Quay View School, citing various reasons not specified in the meeting summary.
  • Impact on Vulnerable Groups: Without transportation assistance, some families may struggle to afford or arrange transport, potentially leading to increased absenteeism or a shift to less suitable schools closer to home.
  • Transparency Concerns: The lack of detailed reasoning behind the denials raises questions about the fairness and consistency of the decision-making process.

The decisions made by the Appeals Committee could have significant consequences for the educational opportunities of vulnerable pupils in Cornwall.

Solar Farm and Geothermal Plant Proposals Spark Debate Over Renewable Energy vs. Environmental Impact

The Strategic Planning Committee considered applications for a solar array and battery energy storage system (BESS) near St Dennis and a geothermal power plant in Camelford, highlighting the ongoing debate about balancing renewable energy development with environmental protection and community concerns.

  • St Dennis Solar Farm: The proposed 32MW solar farm and 45MW BESS aims to power 10,000 homes and reduce CO2 emissions, but faces objections from St Dennis Parish Council and St Stephen In Brannel Parish Council due to environmental, landscape, economic, transport, and heritage concerns.
  • Camelford Geothermal Plant: The proposed 4.9MW geothermal power plant aims to power and heat over 11,000 homes, but has drawn objections from Camelford Town Council and Forrabury & Minster Parish Council, citing the lack of an independent Environmental Assessment and concerns about the site's location in a rural area near environmentally sensitive areas.
  • Conflicting Priorities: These cases illustrate the challenges of reconciling Cornwall Council's commitment to renewable energy with the need to protect its natural environment and address local community concerns.

The Strategic Planning Committee's decisions on these projects will have significant implications for Cornwall's energy future and its environmental landscape.

Leadership Board Focuses on Crime, Risks, and Collaboration

The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Leadership Board convened to discuss strategic issues facing the region, including the Police and Crime Plan 2025-2029, strategic risks to the Cornwall Plan 2050, and an update from the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Executive Group.

  • Police and Crime Plan: Alison Hernandez, Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, presented the Police and Crime Plan 2025-2029, outlining priorities for policing in the region, including antisocial behaviour, drugs and alcohol, serious violence, and theft.
  • Strategic Risks: The board discussed strategic risks to the Cornwall Plan 2050, including resources and financial uncertainty, demographics and workforce, health, housing, investment, climate change and the environment, and societal needs, resilience and safety.
  • Executive Group Update: The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Executive Group provided a strategic update, including actions arising from the previous Leadership Board meeting, the Director of Public Health annual report, and the establishment of a CIoS HR Community of Practice.

The Leadership Board's discussions highlight the complex challenges facing Cornwall and the importance of collaboration across different sectors to address these issues.

NHS Cuts Loom, Spaceport Doubts, and a New Licence Approved

This week in Cornwall:

Social Care Faces Shakeup as NHS England Mandates Cost Cuts

The Health and Adult Social Care Overview and Scrutiny Committee met to discuss proposed changes to Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) 1, driven by a mandate from NHS England (NHSE) to slash running and programme costs by 50% in the 2025/26 financial year. The proposed restructuring could significantly alter how health and social care services are delivered in Cornwall.

  • Radical Restructuring: The NHS South West is proposing to consolidate the existing seven ICBs into just three: one for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly and Devon, one for BNSSG and Gloucestershire, and one for BSW, Dorset and Somerset.
  • Rationale: The Devon and Cornwall model is justified by similar demographics, shared challenges, and a significant overlap of Cornwall patients receiving acute and tertiary services in Devon, particularly at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust.
  • Local Authority Engagement: The committee emphasized the importance of ongoing engagement with the local authority as the future operating model is developed.

The changes could lead to greater efficiency and integration of services, but also raise concerns about the potential loss of local control and responsiveness to specific community needs. The committee has asked to be kept informed about how the changes will affect the delivery of services in Cornwall.

Spaceport Dreams Grounded? Questions Mount Over Newquay's Orbital Ambitions

The Sustainable Growth and Place Overview and Scrutiny Committee heard a pointed public question regarding the future of Newquay Spaceport. Mr Graham Smith from St Mabyn questioned whether the spaceport would ever launch anything into orbit, referencing Boris Johnson's 2021 promise of the Kernow Sat-1 project and subsequent unfulfilled promises of imminent horizontal launches, including a crewed lunar mission this year.

  • Unfulfilled Promises: Mr. Smith's question highlighted the growing skepticism surrounding the spaceport's viability and its ability to deliver on its ambitious goals.
  • Economic Impact: The success or failure of the spaceport has significant implications for Cornwall's economy and its aspirations to become a hub for the space industry.

The question underscores the need for greater transparency and accountability regarding the spaceport's progress and its long-term prospects.

Licensing Committee Approves New Premises Licence for The Croft Inn Despite Resident Concerns

The Licensing Act Sub Committee approved a premises licence for The Croft Inn in Hatt, Saltash, despite objections from local residents who raised concerns about noise, anti-social behaviour, and the potential impact on vulnerable people living in temporary accommodation at the inn.

  • Resident Fears: Residents voiced worries about increased theft, anti-social behaviour, and safety concerns due to the lack of pavements in the area. One resident, Ian Pethick, stated that his wife no longer feels safe walking by herself along the lanes of our village due to the presence of Croft residents often seen with alcohol.
  • Applicant Response: The applicant emphasized that the temporary housing was a partnership with Cornwall Council and that complaints about resident behaviour should be directed to them. They also highlighted the success of previous Temporary Event Notices2 at The Croft, during which none of the Cornwall Council residents used the premises.
  • Conditions Imposed: The Sub-Committee approved the licence with additional conditions agreed upon by the applicant, Devon and Cornwall Police, and Environmental Protection, including amended hours for alcohol sales and recorded music, restrictions on removing drinking vessels, and the implementation of a safeguarding policy.

The decision highlights the challenges of balancing the needs of local businesses with the concerns of residents, particularly in areas with existing social and economic vulnerabilities.
