The public are being invited to have their say on plans for a big development at a beach in Cornwall.

Approved plans for the Carlyon Beach development are being revised and concentrate on Crinnis Beach.

This will comprise of a beachside village of up to 361 homes with easy access to the two-mile stretch of sand at Carlyon Bay.

Officials say the primary objective of the fresh approach is to move the sea wall back to create a dune sea defence following consultation with Cornwall Council and the Environment Agency.

The softer sea defence - to be planted with marram grass, sea couch and other self-colonising plants - will provide a habitat for wildlife, while its revised location further inland will have a lesser impact on the beach.

“The Carlyon Beach development has been a long time in the making, and CEG’s unwavering commitment is a testament to the careful consideration that has gone into every step of these plans.

“The completed scheme will provide a great boost to the local economy and we’re excited to share these numerous improvements with the public that will benefit most from the development.”

CEG Corporate Communications Manager, Jacky Swain

Applications for the revised plans will be submitted this November.
