With comments like "The train line to nowhere" and " people arriving by van" sounds a bit like Nimbyism to me. Might be wrong though!
Good luck Helston.

I notice that the leaflet listing the objections was unsigned. How did the public meeting go ?

I have received a communication from the local Parish Council suggesting that they are going to recommend to Cornwall County Council that the planning application be refused, but I need to read it more carefully, when I have more time.

I received the communication as I had made a submission to them before the meeting as I was unable to attend ..... it is a bit far from Derbyshire!

Best wishes,

John H-T.
