Penzance Heliport Ltd has posted today on its website that
an amended planning application for Penzance Heliport is to be submitted to
Cornwall Council in the coming weeks.
The post states:
The re-submission
follows continued opposition to the Penzance Heliport proposal by the Isles of
Scilly Steamship Group. Planning consent was originally granted in February
this year.
Re-submitting a
planning application aims to reduce uncertainty to the islands and the expense
to Cornish taxpayers of going through the lengthy judicial review process.
Robert Dorrien-Smith,
who is behind the proposals to reinstate the Isles of Scilly helicopter
service, said: “Islanders, visitors and businesses on Scilly are desperate to
know when the new service will be up and running, but a judicial review can
take months to even get to court, let alone be resolved.
“To us this
uncertainty and cost to the taxpayer is totally unacceptable and therefore the
best course of action is to consent to judgment and submit an amended
application.
“This will allow us to
address any issues the judge indicated could be arguable, save Cornwall
rate-payers money and bring about a quicker resolution to this project that the
islands are so desperate to see come to fruition.”
