Mount Folly Square Mount Folly Bodmin Cornwall PL31 2DQ
Proposal
Pre-application advice for installation of a semi-permanent weatherproofing structure at Mount Folly, intended to improve comfort, usability and year-round resilience while maintaining the openness and historic character of this important civic space. Mount Folly plays a central role in the town centre, hosting markets, community events and seasonal activities. Exposure to adverse weather currently limits use and can affect event delivery, trader viability and visitor experience. The proposed semi-permanent, reversible structure is intended to support increased year-round activity without altering the square's spatial qualities or its historic setting.

About outline applications
How this application type works
An outline application tests the principle of developing a site before the detail is worked up. Some or all of the particulars, such as appearance, layout, scale, access and landscaping, are held back as reserved matters for later approval. Permission at outline stage does not by itself allow building to start; the reserved matters must be approved first.
