PL23/20 Planning Applications for consideration RECEIVED a request by the planning authority for consultation and responded: *The meeting host removed Cllr Ripper due to an interest in the next application. Signed: Date: PA20/07522: Full application for proposed residential development comprising of 38 dwellings (21 affordable), community retail store, access roads, infrastructure and landscaping. Westcountry Land (St Agnes) Ltd. Land South West of Penwinnick Farm, Penwinnick Road, St Agnes The Council strongly objects as follows: The proposal is lacking a biodiversity report and concern was expressed for the existing wildlife at the site as per Policy 12 of the NDP; Proposal site does not provide a sound pedestrian connection to the village centre (per NDP Policy 13); There would be an increase in vehicular movement and, in particular, for children attending the local primary school (per NDP Policy 16); Regarding NDP Policy 2.2 and 2.3 there is no evidence of Housing Needs survey data - affordable housing provision should start at 100% and further, the proposal demonstrates a lack of one bedroom properties; Cornwall Local Plan Policy 9 (Rural Exception Sites) notes that land take should be equal between open market and affordable dwellings, yet this application contains more open market provision; The proposal does not enhance the natural and historic character of the area as there is no regard for the public views of St Agnes Beacon (NDP Policy 6 and Cornwall Local Plan Policy 12); There is inadequate provision of communal open space on the site (provision in St Agnes is low anyway, particularly at this end of the village); Regarding NDP Policy 14, the proposed Co op store will affect the locality and amenity of local residents and could threaten local jobs, thus undermining the vitality of the village centre (Cornwall Local Plan Policy 4); Penwinnick Road is already very busy and access on to the main road via the potential junction would be considered hazardous (Cornwall Local Plan Policy 27). Cllrs Clark/Slater. 5 voted in favour. 1 abstained: Cllr Bunt (dispensation). *Cllr Ripper re-joined the meeting. PA20/06780: Listed building consent for removal of existing render to rear of property and replace with 3 coats of lime render. J Underwood. 52, Vicarage Road, St Agnes TR5 0TQ No objection.

Broghas Cottage, Quay Road, St Agnes TR5 0RS No objection, subject to WHS concerns being addressed. Cllrs Bunt/Clark. Unanimous. PA20/07258: Replacement UPVC bay-window and redecoration. Pullen Davies Solicitors. 6, Vicarage Road, St Agnes TR5 0TJ The Council objects on the grounds of use of materials.

PA20/08048: Non-material amendment (NMA1) for addition of a shower room extension to the original cottage/annexe and substituting slate stone facing for uncut granite on the external walls to decision PA19/07694 dated 26.03.2020.

Kingsley Developments. 8, Kerensa Gardens, Goonown, St Agnes TR5 0YX The Council objects due to the unacceptable site layout, as per Cornwall Local Plan Policy 12 (Design) regarding the positioning of proposed dwelling No 6. Proposed dwellings 1 & 2 and 7 & 8 are too close to the existing properties in Kerensa Gardens and would create overlooking. A reduction in the number of proposed properties in the development could resolve these issues. Cllrs Ripper/Slater. Unanimous.

Mrs & Ms Lake. 1, Penwinnick Cottages, Penwinnick Road, St Agnes TR5 0PA Although the Council has no objection to the extensions to the house, they object to the proposed extensions to the outbuilding due to the extremely hazardous exit onto the highway and the lack of detail surrounding the apparent intent to create a new house outside the settlement boundary.
