How You Can Help
For the next week or so it is possible to write to the National Planning Casework Unit to request this application to be called in.
Anyone can ask for a planning application to be called in if there are issues of National Importance or wider concern. We believe the ignoring of the Government's localism agenda and the Local and Neighbourhood Plans which would have protected the Cornwall County Wildlife site as local people want, together with the proposal to build on a flood plain and the overprovision of retail capacity against sustainable planning guidance are matters of national and wider concern.
Representations for a planning application to be called in should be sent to:
National Planning Casework Unit
5 St Philips Place
Colmore Row
Birmingham
B3 2PW
You can also email them at npcu@communities.gsi.gov.uk (link sends e-mail)
They can be contacted by phone on 030 3444 8050
You should give clear reasons why you think that the application should be called-in, including why it is of more than local importance.
There's a House of Commons briefing paper on calling-in planning applications (link is external) which is useful.
You'll find our letter to the NPCU at Letter to National Planning Casework Unit which will help show which matters are of national and wider importance.
