Pre-application advice has been sought on proposals to change the use of the Wave Crest Cafe on Lizard Point to residential use.

The applicant, Christine Stannett, has been told the principle of development is reliant upon it being robustly demonstrated that the existing café and commercial use of the site is unviable.

She has also been told that as the site is in a sensitive location any design would need to be sympathetic to its surroundings.
