The Latest from Your Parish Councillor - Martin Corney (Parish Pump - October 2016)

There is a lot of planning news this month. Cornwall Council's planning committee has turned down the proposed estate of 46 dwellings (PA16/00182) between Pensilva industrial estate and Amanda Way. This followed the Parish Council and community view expressed at our public meeting but goes against planning officer recommendation, so will probably be appealed. Plans have been submitted (PA16/07605 & PA16/07606) for the Butchers Arms to be reopened supported by two retail units between the pub and the garage in St Ive. Diagonally opposite the pub, listed building consent (PA16/07006) has been submitted by The Emily Trust to restore The Chantry to the original configuration when it was the village rectory where Emily Hobhouse was born. Emily is probably the most famous person ever born in our parish. She is certainly as famous in South Africa for her campaign against British concentration camps of the Boer War as Florence Nightingale is over here. Many visitors should be attracted to her birth place. The final big planning application (PA16/02519/PREAPP) covers the fields behind the new Ford Close estate in St Ive and appears to extend the estate to about three or four times it's current size.
