In PA10/04297 we were told it was an out of town destination shopping centre.

The developer agrees and see the extension and development of the West Cornwall Retail parks offerings as one of the attractions to its client businesses to come to the area.

Cornwall Council says the traffic studies all show no problems.

That's the same studies that show no problems with the current setup despite the long queues to get in and out of the existing Retail Park from Sunday car boots to ordinary weekdays and even Boxing Day and New Year sales there's currently queuing which tails back to the A30.  But Cornwall Council says there isn't according to their monitoring systems.  The same monitoring systems which said

• the Truro bus lane would cause no additional problems - scheme no reversed
• the Lelant changes would cause no additional problems - scheme since reversed

Once this development is built the scheme cannot be reversed.  We will all have to live with the consequences.

In PA10 even Highways agreed - from their comment http://planning.cornwall.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=consulteeComments&keyVal=L67K42FG0DE00

"In summary and conclusion I can state that this application is not my preferred recommendation to you in as much that the main issues which have not yet been satisfactorily addressed by the applicant's consultants is the an acceptable signalisation of the Loggans Moor roundabout with at-grade pedestrian and cycle crossing facilities of the A30 and the effects of any development on the Marsh Lane site and its additional impact on the double mini-roundabout at Carwin Rise. Further, in view of the considerations set out at the head of this response, I view this site as being an out of town supermarket reliant on high volumes of car borne trips due to its inaccessibility from the town centres of Hayle when compared with other edge of town applications that are sequentially preferable.
I would not wish to offer any recommendation on the approval of this application until such time as the junction improvements have been submitted to and approved by the HA and this Council and in any event until such time as the Highways Agency see fit to lift their direction of non-approval."

But it's apparently all fine now. Even though it will now be the third development to go on the site leading to an increase in traffic of about 5 times current levels.
