Three main points were made by the member of public who spoke at the meeting
- Concern was again raised over the planning application PA19/11124 at Trebarvah, Perranuthnoe in terms of the height, design, impact in AONB, WHS impact and concern over positioning of proposed building to that in outline planning consent
- Concern over potential impact of any development of Rosudgeon water tower and visual impact of this

PA20/04530 – Replacement of existing domestic garage with self-contained granny annex and extended porch to main house – Elton Cottage Belvedere Lane St Hilary – Mr & Mrs Seager
It was proposed and seconded and carried unanimously that Parish Council objects to the proposal on the grounds that the development would lead to inappropriate and significant development off a rural lane where its size and style would not be in character .The Parish Council would be minded to supportive to a more modest annex as extension to Elton Cottage (if this could be designed in keeping with the character of the lane) on the basis that the annex would only be occupied in conjunction with Elton Cottage

PA19/11124 – Erection of one dwelling together with associated works and temporary stationing of a caravan during construction – Land And Buildings East Of The Old Carthouse Trebarvah Lane Trebarvah Perranuthnoe – Mr And Mrs S Firth
It was proposed and seconded and carried unanimously that Parish Council strongly objects to the proposal on the following grounds
– this application does not follow all the advice from, and policy of, the Cornwall AONB,
– the proposed buildings are wrongly not restricted to the area approved for building in the Outline Planning Permission given for the plot,
– the footprint, ridge heights and mass of this proposed house are overbearing for, and reduces the amenity of, the neighbouring houses (especially ‘The Old Potato Barn’ and ‘Seascapes’) and the ridge height of this proposed prominent house needs to be significantly reduced so that the roof top levels of this group of houses run downhill with the fall of the land from the South East to the North West,
– the maximum level of the ridge of the proposed house should be significantly lower than the maximum level of the ridge of ‘Seascapes’,
– the details of the materials used for the exterior of the roof and walls should be clearly specified and be appropriate and sympathetic to the original adjoining traditional local domestic and agricultural buildings and the Cornwall AONB policy,
– all glass used for balustrades or large windows should be non-reflective and details of the design and materials to be used should first be approved by Cornwall Council,
– the adjoining and nearby footpaths must not be interfered with during the construction period and the parking area used by walkers should not be used for construction related traffic and activities,
– we do not approve of the large temporary caravan on this restricted site especially without time and use restrictions.

It was proposed and seconded and carried unanimously that Parish Council objects to the proposal on the grounds that the site is outside of the settlements of both Perran Downs and Rosudgeon which have been supported following extensive consultation and is not infill or rounding off and would be development in open countryside, contrary to the Cornwall Local Plan and the Perranuthnoe NDP which is at an advanced stage
