New information has been submitted in support of a heliport plan for Cornwall.According to a report prepared for the Penzance Heliport, the project will unlock £31m of investment in the islands, provide a £9m boost to West Cornwall, and increase visitor numbers through additional transport capacity and reliability.Further environmental and heritage assessments also provide more detail on information within the original application.Cornwall Council will now re-assess the planning application after the judicial review pursued by the Isles of Scilly Steamship Group.Information from aviation experts shows the proposed site, at Jelbert Way in Penzance, will enable helicopters to fly in at least 40 per cent lower cloud than from Land’s End Airport, helping improve the reliability of the islands’ transport network.
