During the storms of 2013/14, Sunset Surf suffered significant structural damage, which threatened the ongoing operation of the business. As a result, the partners of Sunset Surf were advised to carry out emergency building works to secure the property and the business (staff, suppliers & you the customer); not to mention our family home.

Due to the complexity of the repairs the works took longer anticipated, leading to an extended period of closure. After an extremely stressful & difficult 6 months for the business, the works were finally completed in July 2014.

The first Retrospective Planning Application (PA14/06674) was unfortunately rejected by Cornwall Council in December 2014. The second Retrospective Planning Application (PA15/05086) is moving towards a review at the end of September 2015.

(More detailed information on both applications can be found on the Cornwall Council Planning Portal)

During this review it will be decided if the application is approved or rejected. A second rejection could seriously jeopardise the ongoing operation of the business, leading to the possible closure of Sunset Surf. This would mean the loss of up to 30 jobs, the loss of significant secondary business for our local suppliers & the loss of Sunset Surf as a favoured destination for many (both local & further afield).

If you (our valued customer) wish to support Sunset Surf during the upcoming review of the current planning application, please append your name & contact details on the petition provided.

This petition will be presented to support planning application PA15/05086 at the upcoming meeting where the application will be reviewed & a final decision made.

Your support is much appreciated

Sincerely,

The Partners – Sunset Surf
