The Individual Decision Day meeting on Wednesday 3 December 2025 saw several key decisions made regarding council property and infrastructure. Notably, approval was given to proceed with the construction of Phase 2 of the Active Travel element of the Mid Cornwall Metro in Newquay, the acquisition of a property for a directly provided children's home, and a new 99-year lease for Cornwall Airport Newquay.

Mid Cornwall Metro (MCM) - Newquay Phase 2 - Commit to Construct

The Portfolio Holder for Transport, Dan Rogerson, approved the continuation of the Newquay Phase 2 Active Travel Scheme, allowing it to proceed to construction. This decision is subject to the outcome of the Traffic Regulation Order statutory consultation and a value for money assessment of the Stage 2 contract price. The scheme aims to improve walking and cycling infrastructure in an area of Newquay with a high collision rate, creating a safer and more attractive space for all road users. This project is part of the wider £56.8m Mid Cornwall Metro scheme, primarily funded by the Government's Levelling Up Fund, which aims to enhance rail connectivity and active travel options across Cornwall. The construction timeline has been extended beyond the original 2026 embargo period, with preparatory works planned to ensure a smooth delivery. The scheme will result in a net gain of 58 parking spaces and improved public realm.

Acquisition of Property for Directly Provided Children's Home in Cornwall

The Portfolio Holder for Children, Families and Schools, Hilary Frank, approved the acquisition of a residential property to be used as a registered children's home. This acquisition is conditional upon further due diligence, including satisfactory surveys, the approval of the business case for two Cornwall Council-provided children's homes by the Capital Management Board and Commercial Board, and the granting of a change of use via the planning process. This initiative is part of the Council's strategy to increase its provision of registered children's homes, aiming to provide local, stable, and high-quality care for children and young people who have experienced trauma and abuse. This will help reduce the need for out-of-county placements, which are often more costly and can disrupt children's lives.

Cornwall Airport Newquay - New 99 Year Lease for Cornwall Airport Limited

The Leader of the Council, Leigh Frost, approved the Council entering into a new 99-year lease with Cornwall Airport Limited (CAL) to regularise the arrangement for the long-term delivery of the airport. This decision aims to provide CAL with the security needed to secure contractual arrangements for longer periods on more commercially advantageous terms, enabling them to enter into medium- and long-term property arrangements and provide confidence to the market. The proposed rent reflects the market value based on an independent valuation. Cornwall Airport Newquay is considered a key 'Enabler' facility, contributing significantly to the Cornish economy through its Gross Value Added output and providing skilled jobs. The new lease aims to support the airport's objectives of attracting investment, developing aerospace business space, and growing important existing and emerging sectors.

Disposal of Remaining Solohaus Modular Units

The Portfolio Holder for Housing, Peter La Broy, approved the disposal of the remaining 37 Solohaus modular units that are currently in storage at Newquay Airport. These units were originally acquired under the Temporary Accommodation Recovery and Reform Plan but have not been deployed due to a lack of suitable sites and delivery challenges. The disposal will be conducted via an Expressions of Interest exercise, inviting third parties to propose uses for the units. The evaluation criteria will prioritise bids that offer housing benefits and demonstrate a strong local connection to Cornwall, with proposals for holiday rentals or commercial use being excluded. This decision aims to reduce ongoing storage costs and the depreciation of the units' value, while potentially facilitating their use for affordable or supported housing.

Torpoint Neighbourhood Development Plan 2010-2030 - Making the Plan Stage

The Portfolio Holder for Tourism, Localism and Planning, Sarah Preece, approved the formal adoption of the Torpoint Neighbourhood Development Plan.
