The final part of a major harbour redevelopment scheme is on hold after concerns were raised about the impact it would have on a World Heritage Site. A reserved matters planning application – covering aspects such as design and layout – for the North Quay development at Hayle Harbour went before Cornwall Council’s strategic planning committee this morning. The proposals include 375 homes, industrial space, a hotel, sports and leisure facilities and public open space. Development at the harbour is already underway and outline planning permission has previously been granted for the entire project. The latest application had originally been recommended for delegated approval, but following a late submission of comments from the World Heritage Site planning officers said it would be better to defer the plans.
