NIMBYs ?

Possibly Gary but there are very few houses there if any, I'm guessing it's on Duchy land, hence Charlie boys involvement, it will be traffic chaos as usual in the summer, the planners tend to pass these things without thinking of the poor road infrastructure, Truro effectively has only two main roads in and one main road out when traveling west to east, that sign is near to the head of the site so far as I am aware, it's at the junction of the St Austell Road (A39) and the road that eventually connects with the A30 at Carland Cross via Trispen. It's a busy junction at the best of times.

NIMBYs ?

The very word that occurred to me.

Apparently Truro City Council were against it and Cornwall County Council passed it, it went to a Judicial Review.

What do I think...well I don't live there and I rarely visit Truro so I'm not bothered , but as said the traffic will be bad in the summer when all the Emmets come down.

Complete nonsense - how can providing shopping, housing and a park-and-ride scheme for local residents, promoted by Cornwall Council, Waitrose and the Duchy of Cornwall 'destroy a whole valley'? Really, shouty idiots like that who enjoy their 15 minutes of fame bouncing their egos off the walls of planning meetings should be laughed off the face of the planet. There was strong opposition to a Tesco in Beverley, all overruled in the end, then when it was built, it's teeming with customers who struggle to park their cars it's so busy. I Don't suppose that any of those customers will be those who opposed the store and signed the petition? Oh no no no - that would never happen would it?

At the rear of our house about 75 ft away (In a conservation area) there used to be a five story University halls of residence full of rowdy students (the girls of which were far worse than the boys). The part that overlooked our house was a five storey toilet block. The University emptied the block, sold the site for development and demolished the building - wonderful news. A large reputable building firm put plans forward, which were amended five times to try to overcome objections, and still several neighbours objected, one of whom went to the planning meeting and raised any and every objection imaginable. She was overruled, the scheme went ahead and now, instead of having a five story toilet block and scores of unruly students as our 'neighbours' we have two £400k detached houses with charming people for neighbours. My next door neighbour has rebuffed them as 'incomers'. The blow me - another vociferous objector who has a large garden had the cheek to later apply for planning permission to build a bungalow on it! I guess he could be termed a -YIMBY' - 'Yes In My Backyard'. He was most upset to be refused.

That's how daft people can be.

As said David, so far as I am aware Truro City Council were against it, as for destroying the valley, well that's not possible unless the valley ceases to become a valley, I guess it's the historical use of the valley that will be destroyed, Cornwall Council tends to bend over backwards for Charlie boy (or maybe bend over forwards) If the duchy paid their fair share it wouldn't be so bad but they don't (don't want to get into that argument) They have already felled all the trees on the valley side of the main road, shame about that.

The whole problem with Truro is it's location and lack of access roads that can carry traffic when it's busy, for a city it's population is very small but getting home from the hospital on Teusday through Truro was a pain so far as the traffic was concerned, in other words it's been expanded but the roads haven't, you can guess where that's going.
