These were proposed, seconded, and carried unanimously that the minutes be signed.

An indirect matter arising from the November minutes. Cllr Linton expressed that now the budget had been agreed upon it should be published.

Clerk to report back to councillors as to what is the best practice and format to do this.

Proposal Demolition of existing outbuilding, construction of new single-storey rear extension, detached carport/store and alterations including the addition of

photovoltaic panels, dormer windows and roof lights.

Location Churchway Cottage Perran Lane Perranuthnoe

Applicant Mr. & Mrs. Hall

It was proposed, seconded and unanimously agreed that Perranuthnoe Parish Council approve this application. The addition of photovoltaic panels, and roof lights  should be considered by the planning officer to be in keeping with the conservation area and Dark Skies buffer zone that this property is situated within. 

Proposal Reserved Matters application for access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale following outline consent PA21/00191 dated 28.05.21.

Location Land Adj To Landvue A394 Between Helston Road And Carters Downs Rosudgeon

Applicant Mr. J Trevorrow

It was proposed, seconded and unanimously agreed that Perranuthnoe Parish Council have no objection to this application subject to the following points

1)    To meet privacy levels  obscure glass should be used such as Pilkington 5

2)    The combined width of the dormer windows  should not exceed 50% of the overall roof size 

Proposal Construction of detached gym building

Location Trescowe Stables Trescowe Road Goldsithney

Applicant Mr. And Mrs. C Jose

Perranuthnoe Parish Council would like to defer a decision on this planning application

For the following reasons:

The proposed detached property is outside of the curtilage as identified on the original site  plan & fence detail. Received by Cornwall Council on the 02/08/17.

This is a Reg 9 Exception site to build one open market and one affordable. Both properties are still under construction.

Looking at the scale we estimate the proposed brick-built structure to be 7.5 metres this a large area for a gym.

There is no attached letter to support the application for gym training purposes as specified. The application states the purpose as training for one event therefore the council feel a temporary or portable structure or even an extension to the unfinished building would be more appropriate.

There is currently a caravan on site for construction purposes  which will have to be removed once building has been completed. Could the area the caravan occupies be considered for the position of a portable building. 

Proposal Blocking up of Existing Access, Widening & Improving of Original Opening for Vehicle Access

Location Lyonesse House Red Lane Rosudgeon

Applicant Cornwall Planning Group 

It was proposed, seconded and unanimously agreed that Perranuthnoe Parish Council object to this planning application on the following grounds:

The applicants have already widened a pedestrian gateway without permission. The  Red Lane hedgerow was removed and a new hedge put in.
Decision notice PA18/06026 Refusal of planning permission for enlargement of existing gated access (which is where Lyonesse House now stands) . Part 1 clearly states that the use of the entrance would harm the rural character and appearance of Red Lane, which the approved driveway to the building plots sought to avoid by being positioned behind the stone boundary walls and natural hedging to Red Lane Highway hedge.

(APP/D0840/W/18/3193928 17/07/18) was for permission for building on the plot. Point I of the decision notice  clearly states the new property will use the existing vehicular access at Rosebud cottage as access. The rationale being  to preserve the hedge and characteristic of the lane.
This new application will not conserve the environmental or characteristics of the lane.

It would now be against our policy under the Perranuthnoe NDP which seeks to conserve and enhance the environment and characteristics of the lanes and hedgerows.

The use of the existing Rosebud cottage entrance onto Red Lane is also to ensure that road safety on the lane is maintained.  One large entrance rather than three separate ones.
