last visit: 17.02.07 		Well all i can say is bloody typical. I urge everyone to defy this racist pathetic ruling and fly cros an sen Perran from their homes and business premises. I fly one in my back garden, but now i think i'll fly one from the front of the house and wait for the thought police to come knocking at my door....or will i disapear one day only to be found dead and dressed inappropriately in the woods with a bottle of pills by my side!

In protest if we are only allowed to fly so called "national flags" how about the Welsh one or even more controversial the Irish republican tricolour.
I know its not the same as our flag, but if there was consensus and every body flew the I R T it would cause quite a stir and probably get publicity.
I think we should make English flags equally as unwelcome in our Duchy!!!!
All publicity is good publicity!

last visit: 08.09.08 		Can someone clarify the law on this. Does it only apply to public buildings or anywhere? What constitutes a flag as presumably a bra can be flown from a flagpole if you feel inclined. Or is it the pole that needs planning permission?

There must be a way round this - human rights? - external shape of flag? - type of pole? - angle of pole?

Inundate the authorities for planning permission?

Time for some Cornish inventiveness!

"Mike"Can someone clarify the law on this.


Try the Planning Inspectorate website. I used to work for them about a million years ago, so I know they are very helpful about giving this sort of information to people.

Looks like yet another storm in a tea cup. It's the erection of flag poles that this is about, from what I read.

How about all those businesses that drape banners ?

last visit: 15.05.07 		I agree in some ways. I image that the ex-miners in Camborne's job centre would rather that the people were trying to encourage the growth of SMEs in Cornwall rather than the right to stick a bit of cloth up a flag pole.

last visit: 08.09.08 		Troll and Stroppy you are right of course, there are many greater problems facing Cornwall and all the peoples there in.
This is just another little kick in the teeth for a proud people who live in one of Europe's poorest regions and so unnecessary at that.

It hasn't.

last visit: 17.02.07 		The free flying of An baner Kernewek in public has been banned because the government say Kernow is not a nation. Well, what would they know, after all Kernow was a nation long before England came into existence.

last visit: 27.03.08 		No, Andy, what has happened is this;

A law has been passed which bans you from erecting a flag pole to display a flag with out planning permission, unless that flag is a national flag. Cornwall is not a nation, it's a county.

Got it?

No one has banned the Cornish flag.
You can still fly the Cornish flag.
You have to apply for planning permission for a flagpole for it.

Got that?
