Cornwall Council have just opened this new consultation. Check out this post on the further environmental information this new consultation is asking about.
The proposed redevelopment has been described as the largest in Falmouth in 80 years. Plans include extensive dredging, construction and waste disposal.
The development aims to increase both the number and size of cruise ships, as well as increasing military and industrial use. It may also allow the storage and assembly of offshore wind turbines.
However, the development is expected to cause sediment and toxic substances to spread. This threatens fisheries and sea life, including rare maerl and seagrass habitats, and marine mammals.
The full planning application and residents' comments can be viewed through the planning portal at Cornwall Council (PA25/01598).
You can find the marine licensing application on the MMO website (MLA/2025/00157).
