This fragile ecology of rare plants, animals and marine life, protected by local, national and European laws, faces existential threats. If the redevelopment of the small hotel site at the south western edge of Pendower is allowed to extend much beyond the footprint of the existing buildings, or is replaced by individually owned apartments, the impact both on the site and the users of the beach will be severe.
The pink hotel
The small pink-washed hotel at the South Western edge of Pendower was a popular destination for visitors until it was sold over a decade ago. Since then it has been abandoned.
There is huge strength of feeling amongst local people, who chose protection of the local environment as their top priority in a Roseland-wide poll taken to provide data for the Roseland Neighbourhood Development Plan.
This strength of feeling lay behind many of the over 500 objections to the previous application (View the CC Planning Portal link), which contributed to it being withdrawn.
If over development were to be allowed, it would open the gates to similar proposals throughout the whole of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Cornwall’s most precious landscapes would be up for grabs.
