Call for independent scientific reviews

This is a call-out for short, independent scientific reviews from people with expertise relevant to the Falmouth Docks planning and marine licensing applications. It is not asking for political statements.

We plan to compile the individual scientific statements into a single document, clearly attributing each contribution to the relevant person. This will then be submitted to the Cornwall Council planning department to feed into the consultation. With your consent, we will also include contributions in publications.

Relevant documents to help with your submission can be accessed on the Cornwall planning portal (reference number PA25/01598, under the Documents tab).

If you can help or have a review to share, please could you fill out this form.
