WHERE'S THE LOGIC IN CARLYON BAY PLAN?

The Cornish Guardian 22/07/2004

I read this week's Cornish Guardian with interest and sadness. On page four of the St Austell edition it was reported that planning for an off-road hard standing for a vehicle at Trelavour Road, St Dennis, has been rejected, on the grounds that it might ruin the village. On the front page of the same publication there is a detailed account of multi-million-pound construction company Ampersand's plans to go ahead and hard surface and concrete the whole width and total length - approximately one mile - of one of Cornwall's finest beaches, Carlyon Bay.

In the last 90 years, our forebears fought two bloody World Wars so our generation could walk our beaches at will and in peace.

Is there anyone out there who can explain to us the logic of all this, as it disturbs me no end?
