ATTENTION!  PLANNED MOTORWAY SERVICES AT ROCHE

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AT WOODLAND BARTON FARM


Do you know that Restormel Borough Council is currently considering an application for planning permission to build a motorway services facility at the above mentioned farm? This would incorporate a Fuel Service station, HGV parking (as well as car, coach & caravan parking), Amenity building with food and non-food facilities, a Hotel and a Travellers’ Transit Site.

The residents in the immediate vicinity of Higher Town, Tremodrett and Criggan are of course very concerned and have written to the Council to object. However, we feel that this proposed development would not only impinge on our lives but also on the Roche Village community. Many of you enjoy to walk with children and/or dogs through the lovely rural lanes in this area. They are also enjoyed by local runners and horse riders.

This enormous proposed development we believe presents a safety hazard from increased traffic flow, both during its construction and subsequent use and would permanently alter the character of this amenity.

There are also other aspects of the development which worry us greatly but it is up to individuals to determine their own anxieties. If you are concerned by these issues or just by creeping industrialization and the erosion of our green spaces, then we would urge you to write to Restormel a.s.a.p. and object. Such objections should ideally be with them by the end of this month and can be addressed to –

Restormel Borough Council,
Planning Dept.,
Penwinnick Road,
St. Austell, PL 25 5DR.
