Much to the local communities dismay, Cornwall Council have approved (7 for - 6 against) the erection of a disproportionate 2 storey dwelling at Rame Head.
The council have gone AGAINST the very clear advice of their own case officer
- Cornwall Council have gone AGAINST very well argued opposition from AONB officer
- Cornwall Council have gone AGAINST local Councillor views/ Neighbourhood Development Plan
- Cornwall Council have gone AGAINST a large majority of objections left on CC site

- The local council organized no public consultation

- Speakers were asked to declare an interest, but at no point was it mentioned that the applicant is the Chair of the local Parish Council

This proposal will seriously affect the sustainability of the breeding Cirl Buntings at this site. An extremely rare bird in the UK and one that the RSPB have invested 10s of 1000s of pounds to re-introduce into Cornwall! Cornwall County Bird Recorder

Rame Head is an AONB, this development is totally wrong and not in keeping with Rame Head and the whole Whitsand Bay area. Cornwall Council should review this decision urgently. It opens the floodgates for other similar development on Cornish headlands.

Near on a 1000 people, the majority from within the immediate or surrounding areas, voicing their opposition to this development. How's that for local democracy. Maker with Rame PC and especially the Chair should hang their heads in shame.

There seem to be so many anomalies with the process by which this decision was reached, that you begin to lose faith in the measures that have been put in place to preserve and protect the beauty of the Cornish landscape, and the people entrusted to carry them out.

This is outrageous and the fact that there was a distinct conflict of interest here which was not brought to anyone's attention when it obviously should have been? was a deliberate act of subterfuge. This will be a blight on an area of true natural beauty.

Yet again Cornwall County Council going against the policies clearly set out in it's own Cornwall Plan and the policies of the AONB. The fact that it happens to be the chairman of the local Parish Council makes it stick in the throat even more.
