Steve Double, Member of Parliament for St Austell and Newquay, has joined local residents in welcoming the decision by Cornwall Council’s Central Planning Committee yesterday to turn down the latest planning application on Island Crescent.
Commenting, Steve said:
“I am pleased to see Cornwall Council’s central planning committee to take the sensible decision to turn this latest planning application down.”
“I would like to pay tribute to the hard work put in by local residents, including the Protect Newquay Clifftops group, who have devoted many hours voluntarily to campaigning for applications such as this to be refused.”
“I have also made representations directly to Cornwall Council and even asked a question in Parliament about this.”
“I stated when elected that one of my priorities would be to work to protect our coasts and countryside from over-development. I am therefore pleased with this latest outcome and I will continue to do all I can to support local communities in resisting inappropriate development.”
