Our October 2025 Meeting Report
With no planning applications to deal with the Altarnun Parish Council meeting held on 1st October was a brief affair. Decisions from prior applications on which the council was invited to comment upon were reported. Those approved were for a replacement bedroom window at Jamaica Inn, the replacement of a conservatory at Carne Manor. The alternative development will be a sun room to be more in keeping with the character of the historic manor house. Also reported, planners agreed a new tarmac driveway at Higher Tredaule Cottage. However they did not look favourable upon a retrospective application at Poldhu Stables, where an office building had been converted to a dwelling and issued a refusal notice.
There were no community based actions or decisions taken in October, but at the last meeting it was reported that the impending 20mph urban speed limit consultation will invite responses from you.So please take a look at the proposals which, whilst at the time of writing have not yet been posted around Altarnun and Five Lanes, are expected in the not too distant future and can be recognised as yellow laminated notices placed at the sites in view. Cornwall Council are keen to hear from you to ensure they are acting in the best possible interest of the community.
Last month we also reported Altarnun Parish Council has now completed the purchase of the red telephone box situated at Tregunnon Cross. The council would love to receive viable suggestions for its use, especially from residents living in and around Tregunnon, Treween, Trenarrett and Trethinna. Please feel free to speak to any of the councillors or contact the clerk via our website or on the phone (web: altarnunpc.co.uk tel: 07841780397), because the residents at Bolventor have their eye on it to provide a library facility akin to that at Mill Green in Altarnun.
Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday 12th November and will start at 7.30pm in Altarnun Village Hall. All are welcome.
