There's a new response to the planning application:
Cornwall Council Lead Local Flood Authority
Comment Date: Mon 08 Jun 2026
The Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) has been consulted on this application. The details contained in the Cornwall Resources letter (dated 20/05/2026) have been noted.
The Lead Local Flood Authority suggests that the following condition is applied to the planning consent, if this is granted:
Condition: The surface water management for each drilling operations site shall be in accordance with the principles set out in the Cornwall Resources Ltd Surface Water Drainage Strategy and letter (dated 20/05/2026).
Prior to the establishment of any site and commencement of works, a Drilling Operation Surface Water Management Plan must be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority. This must include:
1. A Surface Water Management Plan for each site. Each plan must clearly identify how surface water runoff from the site and the effects of silt and surface water on land, property, watercourses and the highway will be mitigated and managed throughout the drilling operations.
2. Details of pollution water quality and emergency control measures, including temporary sediment basins, sediment traps, silt fences, bunds or trenches.
3. A Drilling Phasing Plan and timetable.
4. Construction Site Plan showing compounds, material storage areas, temporary vehicle parking areas.
The Local Planning Authority must be informed of any variation from the details provided and agree these in writing before such variations are undertaken.
The approved details shall be implemented in accordance with the timetable so agreed and the scheme shall be managed and maintained in accordance with the approved details for the duration of the works.
Reason: To prevent the increased risk of flooding by ensuring the provision of a satisfactory means of surface water control.
