Apologies for absence: Cllr Strawson
Public Speaking Period: Professor Malcolm Cole spoke against the planning application PA19-08743 – Longcliffs, Perranuthnoe. The points raised were that whilst accepting that the building had mundic in his view it was still habitable and therefore questioned the requirement to demolish and rebuild a three-storey replacement property. The key elements for him opposing the application were that the proposed replacement building was disproportionate with surrounding buildings and natural environment because the proposed building is 3 storey and 1.4m higher than the existing structure, concern over a building of this height and exposure to severe weather, the design introduced new windows into the design causing neighbours to be overlooked and also concern over the traffic management policy and impact of required transport down a rural lane/track to remove significant and deliver the quantity of building material involved. Mr Reed also spoke opposing the application on the grounds of the overall impact of the property on the natural environment, the risk of removing building material contaminating adjoining land and concern over the suitability of the access lane/track to deliver/remove building materials

Cllr Scobie declared an interest in this item and left the meeting

– the proposal to increase the ridge height and size of the dwelling is too significant and should be reduced in line with Policy 7 of the CLP (and draft Policy HTA2 b) of the draft Perranuthnoe Neighbourhood Plan).
Believe that if the top of the roof of the proposed new house was closer to the height of the original one we feel that this new house should be of a size and quality to more than match the other larger houses in this area and thus be in keeping with this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
– has noted resident concerns about construction traffic and impact on the PROW and would wish to see a condition in the approval to safeguard the nearby public right of way and all private access rights as far as we can.
