PUBLIC notices cover a range of applications, ranging from licensing applications for liqueur or entertainment to planning applications, roadworks and other works. Their intention is to inform communities of the latest plans in their area and such applications are considered for approval or refusal by local authorities. Here are some of the latest applications submitted to Cornwall Council in South East Cornwall.

Plant hire seeks vehicle licence

A PLANT hire business is seeking to use a location in Roche as an operating centre for three goods vehicles and three trailers.

Matthews Plant (Cornwall) Limited of Numphra House, St Ervan, Wadebridge, PL27 7SH is applying for a licence to use Great Brynn Barton, Roche, St Austell, PL26 8LH as an operating centre for the three vehicles and trailers.

An operating centre (OC) is the designated base or location where goods vehicles (over 3.5 tonnes) or public service vehicles (PSVs) are normally kept when not in use. It must be specified on the operator’s licence, ensuring it is suitable for parking, safe, and environmentally acceptable.

Owners or occupiers of land, which includes buildings near to the proposed operating centre who believe that their use of enjoyment of that land would be affected are invited to make representations to the Traffic Commissioner within 21 days of February 4, 2026.

A copy must also be sent to the applicant at their listed trading address.

More details on how to apply can be found on the Public Notice Portal or by turning to our dedicated Public Notices page.
