West area planning committee approves nine Carbis Bay homes

Cornwall Council's West Sub-Area Planning Committee approved plans for nine detached houses in Carbis Bay on Monday, despite local objections and the absence of the requesting councillor. The council is also preparing to vote on a historic motion concerning South West Water, while Falmouth will hold by-elections for two town councillors following resignations. Separately, the care sector's near £1 billion economic contribution and a storage shed conversion to a craft brewery were reported.
