The secretary of State has approved the planning application for ING's developement including a supernmarket and housing on South Quay, Hayle Harbour in Cornwall.
The controversial plans had been passed unanimously by the town council and then passed by Cornwall Council who were obliged to refer the matter to the Secretary of State as there were strong objections from English Heritage, a statutory consultee.
This means that the Secretary of State has decided that he can alow Cornwall Council to proceed with the planning application to the point of full approval and 'signing off' so that work can start.
Plans include extensive repairs and strengthening of historically important quay walls, resumption of sluicing to help keep the harbour viable, methods to guarantee future income for the harbour management, transfer of various property to local ownership as part of the regeneration of Hayle Harbour overall.
