An appeal against Cornwall Council's decision to refuse planning permission for a retail park on the outskirts of Camborne has been dismissed.
The application was submitted by Quora, a Newark and Nottingham based company that specialises in commercial and mixed-use property development.
BID Camborne has been campaigning against Quora's plans to build out-of-town retail units at Polstrong, on land north of Roseworthy Hill, since 2017 and news of the final outcome has been greeted with jubilation by local businesses.
"This is a true example of people power," said BID Camborne chair and delicatessen owner Sharron Lipsombe-Manley, who described the application as "playing poker with local livelihoods."
