ANOTHER planning application seeking to provide housing on a former pub car park has been submitted to Cornwall Council.

The Post has previously reported on Cornwall Council’s refusal of plans to build seven houses on the former car park for the Bullers Arms Hotel, Marhamchurch. A subsequent appeal was dismissed last year by a Government planning inspector.

At the end of January a new application for five dwellings and one new commercial unit was submitted by applicant Stephen Rudman for the site.

Documents submitted to the council state that removal of the function suite area of the Bullers Arms Hotel — included in the last planning application — had not been brought forward to this most recent application.

The outstanding application under consideration by Cornwall Council seeks to build three 3-bedroom houses, one 2-bedroom house, one 4-bedroom house, one A1/A2 use class retail/office unit, as well as conservation area consent for the demolition of the car park stores and south elevation corner lobby area of the Bullers Arms Hotel.

The hotel is under separate ownership, but the design and access statement for the plans states the applicant ‘retains ownership of the small part of the Bullers Arms Hotel building subject to the proposed demolition works’.
