A new application has been submitted in another attempt to open a beer garden at the Falmouth Wetherspoons, The Packet Station.

In 2017, JD Wetherspoons made plans to build a beer garden on the roof of the establishment.

That application was refused in January 2018 by Cornwall Council.

In the new documents, town planners nineteen47 wrote:

"It is proposed to use the area of land at the rear (north) as a beer garden. No operational development is proposed as removable tables and chairs will be placed on this area in order to provide additional external customer seating."

The application continues:

"The submitted Certificate of Lawfulness is concerned only with whether land within the curtilage of The Packet Station, specifically that which is identified on the Location Plan, can lawfully be used as a beer garden. The application does not relate to or seek to confirm the lawfulness, of any structures (such as walls/fences) nor items of pub and garden furniture which may (or may not), comprise development.

"Accordingly, the merits of the use of the land in question as a beer garden are irrelevant and do not form any part of the consideration of the application for the Certificate of Lawfulness."
