Question over future of old Clinton Cards store in Falmouth
11:00am Monday 4th February 2013 in Falmouth/Penryn
A national store chain has denied plans to open in the old Clinton Cards store in Falmouth
Cornwall Council's planning register shows an application from The Works Stores Ltd for advertising consent to put up new signs on the former Clinton Cards shop in Falmouth's Market Street.
The proposed designs showed the shopfront completely transformed with The Works branding.
However when questioned The Works which sells books, stationery, arts supplies, toys and gifts said “Unfortunately, this is not the case.”

It is quite irritating to write a comment to later discover errors etc and not be able to edit.

I use a computer but even after scanning what I have written I sometimes miss things.
Actually we might be better served by a croissant than the county council at times.

Weird. Could just be a case of the company refusing to confirm it until permission is granted and the lease has gone through.
Which would have to be a lie, if they do have plans.
Though Falmouth Packet did not supply the question that The Works responded to. It may have been "Do you like croissant?"

And the question would have to be "we have been told you like croissant, is that correct?"

Ha....very funny Gill.

Would 'The Works' not have had to apply for planning consent for change of use as well advertising signage ?

No Gill, it's still retail so no change of use required.

If a representative from The Works told the Packet they are not going to open a store in Falmouth did the Packet then ask why is there an planning application for signage then?
