The information in the article 131026 | Angarrack homes 'would breach buffer zone' | This is Cornwall appeared at odds with the presentation on Hayle Shopping Park given by Cranford, so I wrote and asked them if they could clarify. Here is their reply:

Thank you for your email.   The article that was published last week  

is full of inaccuracies and we have asked the newspaper for a full  

retraction and clarification printed in this week's edition.  In  

addition, we have asked them to amend or take down their online  

article.  The article says that Cranford Developments own the land  

that is now proposed for housing development - this is simply not  

true.  In summary:


1. Cranford do not own the land on which this housing scheme is being  

proposed.  We control the land on the other side of Grist Lane.

2. We have not submitted plans for a retail park.  We are consulting  

on proposals and will submit at Christmas.

3. We have not said there will be a buffer zone on that side of the  

road as we simply do not control it or speak for it.  We have agreed  

to provide a non-development buffer between the village and our scheme  

on the other side of the road (which we do control).

4. We have not agreed anything at all ("in conjunction with") the  

developers of this land.  The footpath which is referred to is shown  

on our proposals (again on land we control) and will be part of our  

submission.


I do not know where the reference to a Cornwall Council meeting on 27  

November to discuss our proposals comes from, as we haven't even  

submitted a planning application yet.  All of our plans for Hayle  

Shopping Park were included in the public consultation.


We hope this will resolve any confusion and answer any questions  
residents may have.
