A treehouse being built on national television and a new farm shop for Cornwall are among the platest planning applications. 

Every week more than 100 applications are validated by Cornwall Council and we have selected some of the more interesting proposals.

No dates have been set for when the planning applications below will be determined. They can be viewed by going to the planning portal on Cornwall Council’s website.

BBC Gardeners' World treehouse, Mount Edgcumbe Hospice

Cornwall Hospice Care has applied for a treehouse, which will be constructed at the BBC Gardeners' World Live exhibition at the Birmingham NEC this year, to be relocated to within the grounds of the hospice.

The timber structure on stilts, with two areas for shelter and viewing, will be formed as part of the 2023 Fontana Garden display at the exhibition.

After the event finishes the entire Fontana display is to be gifted to Cornwall Hospice Care for relocation to Mount Edgcumbe Hospice in St Austell.

The garden display is a lifetime’s ambition of 91-year-old Derek Bishop, who has always wanted be part of a show garden.

He has designed and constructed his own magnificent 14-acre garden in South East Cornwall and commissioned award-winning garden designer Kim Parish to design a garden that celebrates and reflects the diversity of planting opportunities within Cornwall.

Inspired by The Cornwall’s Great Gardens, visitors will be invited to journey through the garden and to experience the garden in its entirety as they would their own garden, seeing and enjoying it from the different areas and experience the various rooms, views, and features.

Farm shop and café, Grampound Road

Property consultants Carter Jonas have been instructed to make an application for a farm shop, café, car parking area and farm storage building by the owners of Besowsa Farm, Grampound Road, between Truro and St Austell.

Visitors to the farm shop and café would be able to see the farm which has produced the food on offer, while “having minimal impact on the setting”. The farm is home to a flock of around 200 breeding ewes
