Comment: It is with great sadness that I viewed the latest photos of Carlyon Bay! My first visit there was back in 1965 at the age of sixteen and I totally fell under the spell of its outstanding beauty! I spent many wonderful times there over the following years and still to this day can close my eyes and be transported back to that heavenly place. But now it seems that developers greed has changed it probably for ever. I'd hoped to visit again on one of my trips to UK, but not now I've seen this!

Comment: How is it possible to be cut off at high tide if the barrier is above the high water mark on land owned by the developer?If the sea reaches the rocks then it's obvious they're below the high tide level on property they do not own.Isn't there also a legal point that land below the high water mark belongs to the Duchy Of Cornwall.Has its legal department had anything to say about this or the dumping of gravel on their beach?

Comment: Why did the Council give Ampersand 2 years to get rid of the shuttering?If it were you or I building an illegal extension they would have made us do something a damn sight quicker.May I suggest the Council fine Ampersand for every day the monstrosity that is the shuttering is still there after 8 December.Let's say £10,000 per day.This could be put towards the revenue lost to local businesses from people that would have used the beach over the past 6-7 years.Ampersand, Please, Up Sticks and GO!

Comment: How very familiar! We are suffering exactly the same planning disaster in Aberdeenshire - go to www.trippinguptrump.com - where Donald Trump is building a golf course on part of an SSSI - a rare dynamic dune system, 1450 homes on agricultural land, and a huge hotel. Local government buckle into wealthy developers and haven't the backbones to stand up to them and turn down these abominations. Soon we won't have an inch of wild land left in Britain. Very sad. But do fight on!!!! We are!

Comment: The state of this beautiful is awful. My children grew up on this beach, we spent the summer on this beach, but now my grandchildren can`t go on the beach. This so heart breaking for locals.

Comment: My Wife and I are thinking of moving to Cornwall and considered Carlyon Bay as a strong possibility. I had a funny feeling about this area (some properties were much cheaper than I expected)and I was saddened to find out today what was proposed for the area. Whilst the old Coliseum site may benefit from some limited development, building around 500 homes of any description in this location is sheer madness for obvious reasons. Why this has dragged on for so many years is baffling; the local authorities should have put a stop to this years ago. Keep up the good work with this excellent website.

Comment: If I was a resident here , I would oppose public access by car,no dogs all year. Where do I park my yacht ? Some local said sands are liable to slip away with tide ? dead fish wash up here and frightful sea weed stays until tide takes it away. I was also informed the cliffs are not stable ? Think Id rather settle at Rock, more of my fat rich friends there.

Comment:I am shocked by the apparent scale of the new plans. Do developers never listen to public opinion? Surely this is a massive increase in the area that was historically built on and what will it mean to local infrastructure? It can only be detrimental. In the spirit of fairness I have tried to look at the plans on Cornwall Council's website only to find there is very little to be seen. Can the Council impose a time-restriction on comments when their site stops you from reaching a considered view?

Comment: Fantastic News! At last we can start to get this boost to the Cornish economy moving. It has been held up for too long with ridiculous objections by a bunch of selfish 'Nimbys'. Thank you for keeping me informed.

Comment: Well done, Michael, if you cannot win the argument by logic, try winning it by insult. You have clearly failed to undertake any proper research and, on that basis, there is no point whatsoever in bandying words with you, for there are none so blind as those that will not see... Kind regards, Peter.

Comment: Hullo Brian, You are correct in stating that it was a mock-up,created for a film, either “Dracula” or “Treasure Island”, but I cannot help with the name of the ship. You could check the list of films released in 1984/85 and then check with either R.L.Stevenson or Bram Stoker at your local library. The “wreckage” was eventually moved to the local Charlestown Primary School where it stayed until time, weather and children made it necessary (“elf’n’safety and all that) for it to be sunk under the waves of history. Sorry I cannot be more helpful, but thanks for your enquiry, and regards, Peter, for CBW.
