PUBLIC notices cover a range of applications, ranging from licensing applications for liqueur or entertainment to planning applications, roadworks and other works. Their intention is to inform communities of the latest plans in their area and such applications are considered for approval or refusal by local authorities. Here are some of the latest applications submitted to Cornwall Council.

CORNWALL Council have confirmed that they intend to introduce a new puffin road crossing facility in Henver Road, Newquay, positioned to the south east of its junction with Church Street.

It comes after a consultation with the chief fire of police, according to the public notice published confirming the plans.

The public notice added: “These improvements are designed to enhance pedestrian safety and to facilitate easier and safer movement across the road.

“Comments of support, objections or any other representations, must be sent in writing, with objections specifying the grounds on which they are made. You can respond on-line by visiting: letstalk.cornwall.gov.uk/transport.

“Alternatively, write to Cormac Solutions Ltd, Infrastructure Design Group, Radnor Road, Scorrier, Redruth, TR16 5EH. Any representations must be received no later than the June 5.”

THE public will continue to be prohibited to use a length of footpath in Calstock due to an unsafe retaining wall in the area.

Footpath 14 between the properties known as Lower Brookland Farm and the access to Newton Farm has been the subject of a prohibition order since December 3, 2025. However, the order which prohibits it use has now been extended until November 12, 2026.

It was due to expire on May 11 but owing to the continuing ‘likelihood of danger’ to the public posed by the unsafe wall, it will continue to be closed after the continuance of the closure order was approved by the Secretary of State for Transport.

The order which was published in a public notice stated: “The prohibition will be in force 24 hours a day, weekends included. The Council is satisfied that the order is needed because of the likelihood of danger to the public due to an unsafe retaining wall.

“Nothing in this Order will apply to traffic associated with the works required within the highway specified above, any vehicle being used for the purposes of an undertaker in an emergency, such as loss of utility supplies and anything done with the permission of or at the discretion of a police officer.”
