HAYLE RETAIL DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS MEETING POSTPONED

HAYLE RETAIL DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS MEETING POSTPONED

This morning the Clerk met with Jeremy Content, CC planning officer, and in conjunction with the Mayor, they have agreed to postpone the meeting scheduled for Wednesday evening. There are several reasons for this.

We are at a point where we have no definitive response from Cornwall Highways or the Highway Agency, who are waiting for the updated retail information especially related to trip patterns. We are also waiting for a response from GVA regarding the additional survey that has been conducted further to the 2010 Cornwall Retail Study. If they, GVA, are satisfied that the 2010 figures remain robust then the Highways people will have confidence the highways model work that has been carried out and therefore will be in a position to make a recommendation. Jeremy has also confirmed that the Highways Agency has now placed 'holding directions' on both applications, so no decision can be made until these are lifted and they are satisfied that they have the right information to respond.

Jeremy's best, optimistic, guess is that this information will be available by the end of May. A meeting will be reconvened, when and only when all of the information is in.

It would be appreciated if you could help by spreading the word too.
