Will a large developer bankruptcy be the only weapon against the council’s hyper development agenda, here in Cornwall? As officers continue to push HMS Cornwall towards the iceberg strewn waters of toxic air, urban sprawl, black alert Treliske, overflowing schools and surgeries, backtoback traffic on our poor road infrastructure, here’s a short FB discussion we picked up today: “The council can’t understand the concept of more concrete = more water run off, because according to at least two senior councillors, Highways and SW Water reports are routinely shoved at the bottom of planning application files, AFTER decisions have been made at SPC, or fail to turn up at appeal meetings, where government planning inspectors routinely dismiss the council’s defence of its own initial refusals, due to lack of any evidence to counter developers’ (non-)arguments... just sayin’ (actually, just repeating what seems like accepted “wisdom” at Kremlin Kernow! Disgusting....” “It's just totally in contrast to the standards of planning that we tried to apply at Penwith. Yes, I WAS a planner for 10 years. This is why I'm so shocked and horrified by all that's going on with this shower of shit at Kremlin Kernow. I understand that yet another deception has been pulled by officers regarding the number of objectors to the Nancegollan egg farm. Just like Tintagel. Just like the windfarm case where the council was ruled against by the High Court for doing exactly the same thing. Hellfire - even the High Court has slapped them down and ruled their practice unlawful, and STILL they take no bloody notice. Surely SOMEONE can enforce the law against them? They soon would if I decided to ignore the law, wouldn't they? The sheer stench of 21st century Britain is unbearable.” When will they listen to the public they are employed to serve and represent? And they’re not the only one as Wain Homes, which has irreversibly damaged so many Cornish market towns, especially Truro, finds the climate too hot too: “The decision to go private was taken last year when the shares slipped below net asset value. Wainhomes has never been able to raise equity funds from the stock market because of its poor rating, and servicing its City shareholders costs around £1 million a year.” And Taylor Wimpey is down nearly -8% in the past month!! Almost a full house of bruising for the killers of Cornwall... Perhaps the market warnings will do for Cornwall what its own clever planning officers were unable, or unwilling, to do: take out a developer due to poor share performance and big debts and loans? Let’s hope so, for Cornish children’s sake.
