The Rossyln Hotel Development has gone to Appeal.

Now this planning application and the Ocean Bowl 1st application.

Falmouth Coachworks is also expected.

Do you want to see the character of Falmouth changed forever?

This development is surplus to the requirements of the local universities - the increase is student numbers and their accommodation is being plan-led, near to the Tremough Campus in Penryn.

________________________________________________________________

Thu 27 Apr 2017 - the application has been refused.

Here is the beginning:

Policy 3 of the Cornwall Local Plan states that the delivery of growth in main
towns will be managed through site allocations in order to ensure that growth is
genuinely plan-led. The application site is not an allocated site for development
and the scale of the proposed development is so substantial that it is considered
that the granting of permission would prejudice the community-led
Neighbourhood Plan process by determining decisions about the scale and
location of new development in and around Falmouth.

The 4th Smithick Ward Residents Meeting will be held on a Tuesday 12th September, 2017.

7:30pm Emmanuel Baptish Church, Western Terrace, Falmouth. (Rear Hall).

All local and nearby residents welcome

Some history of the planning application:

In the 2nd week of January some revised plans have been added to this planning application. These can be identified by noting the dates of the planning documents.

Those who have already made a comment on the planning application will have receieved a letter of notification from the council. (See image and link).

Check the revisions that have been made and add to your original comment, e.g. These revised plans do not change my opinion, I still object on the same grounds.

Or you may add a note specific to any of the changes made.

Conservation Officers Comments to the revised plans:
Summary.
These revised drawings do not address the issues I have raised in my consultant
response above. Some more fundamental changes in massing, a reduction in the
number of floors, and/or a spilt level design, changes in elevation, retention of
walls and a subdivision of the site to retention historic stone walls and boundary
walls should all be considered.

Monday 30th January, Falmouth Town Council Planning Meeting.

The council considered the revised proposals and refused.

The planning application reads:

Comment Date: Tue 31 Jan 2017

Whilst the Council recognised the site as suitable for development it recommends refusal of the application due to overdevelopment and loss of view from the highway at Fish Strand Quay and design not in keeping with the Conservation Area.
