Defend Roseworthy Valley
This campaign is about challenging Cornwall Council’s approval of a large-scale industrial green waste site in the Roseworthy Valley.
A major commercial and industrial green waste processing operation has been approved above the Roseworthy Valley, in a sensitive rural location close to homes, farmland and watercourses.
The application site extends to 5.9 hectares (approximately 14.5 acres), within a wider 15.9-hectare landholding (nearly 40 acres in total) under the applicant’s ownership.
The development raises serious concerns about soil and air contamination, flooding, landscape impact, dangerous HGV traffic volumes and health and safety impacts on local communities.
A High Court legal challenge is now underway, and the Court has agreed there is an arguable claim that the decision was made unlawfully. Permission has now been granted, and we are seeking support to take this case forward at this critical stage.
