It is a sssi site for a reason, how can this possibly be built on?

I walked to Stepper yesterday, not my first visit as I usually lay on the Rocks @ Fishermen's cove & stare over. This is the wrong, and in my opinion unjustified choice of plot. How can a triple SSSI be the right place? I support the work of the LH, byt please leave this lovely wilderness spot alone.

I sat there last weekend, by the newt pond with burnet moths and stonechats for company, waves breaking below; a quiet, beautiful, rare place. A commercial building of any sort here, with its assorted utilities - roads, lights, generators, railings etc. would be not only a substantial eyesore in a beautiful place but also an act of anti-conservation vandalism. The Hatchery claim to have issues with their water supply. To my knowledge effective technology for artificial saltwater aquaria and pools has been available for over 50 years. The Hatchery should investigate this route rather than applying for a commercial building that would set a precedent for buildings on other sites around our coast.

Please stop this industrialisation of our beautiful coastline and preserve this precious area for wildlife

This is a beautiful and iconic headland in an area of outstanding natural beauty... too many wind farms & fields full of solar panels springing up round here...let's not ruin our special and beautiful county!

It would be criminal to ruin such a naturally beautiful spot by allowing unnecessary building on this land.

This structure should not be allowed to be built in this beautiful location.

Any development at this fragile site would be a mistake. It would also set a precedent. Who knows what might come next!

The area is one of outstanding, unspoilt natural beauty whether viewed from the land or the sea. Any building there would be a blot on the landscape and yet another part of beautiful Cornwall would be spoilt if this went ahead. Definitely no to any building or development.

This development must not be allowed. Totally inappropriate at this beauty spot. Would be the thin end of the wedge.

To destroy this natural habitat would be a unreversable Criminal Act. It also would be a blot on a local well loved beauty spot.

I feel this proposed development would be detrimental to this corner of the Camel Estuary. The coastal footpath would be affected plus the wild life and fauna. I am aware it was a quarry in the past but nature has re established its natural habitat. Vehicular access difficult as it crosses rented farm land. Power lines cabling will destroy the habitat. If there was any question of using solar panels these these would be unsightly intrusion. A definite No No from me.

This is the most rediculous idea I have heard for ages and must not be allowed

Any development on this beautiful stretch of coastline would be an outrage.

Too beautiful and such a wonderful natural resource to be lost or spoiled in any way. Geology and nature will be sufficient.

I used to live here at no 3 coastguard cottage, I'd be shocked if this got passed ! This is one of the most beautiful solitude wide life areas I've ever seen, and why o why would anyone want to disturb with commercial takeover ? Is beyond me ...
