Planning application
Mount Folly Square Mount Folly Bodmin Cornwall PL31 2DQ
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
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.
