A conjoined public inquiry was held on 23 and 24 January 2024 to consider objections to both the Compulsory Purchase Order and the Side Roads Order.

Update on the Side Roads Order (SRO)

The Secretary of State for Transport has confirmed the Side Roads Order (SRO) for the road works needed to deliver the Northern Access Road, as part of the proposed development at Langarth Garden Village.

The Order gives Cornwall Council the authority to improve or stop up existing roads, create new roads, stop up private means of access and provide new means of access to premises, as set out in the Order and accompanying Map.

The decision follows the public inquiry held in January 2024.

After considering the Inspector’s report, the Secretary of State has confirmed that she is satisfied that there are no compelling reasons which would justify not confirming the SRO.

In accordance with the statutory process, a notice of the confirmation of the Order will be published in the London Gazette and in the West Briton.

Copies of the confirmed Order, the Inspector’s Report, the Secretary of State’s Decision Letter and the statutory notice of confirmation of the Order will be available to view at the Council’s offices and are also being published on Cornwall Council’s website and on the Langarth Garden Village website .

Update on the Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO)

Following the decision of the Secretary of State for Transport on the SRO, the the Inspector will now be able to close the CPO inquiry and make their decision on the CPO.  The Council is keeping in contact with the Planning Casework Unit (who process the CPO decision on behalf of the Inspector) and will write to all those directly affected as soon as the decision on the CPO is received.  Press and site notices will also be published.
