The Planning Officer has recommended refusal of the application to move the Wadebridge Town Football Club ground and training pitches as:
"There is a reasonable likelihood that dormice are present on the application site and the applicant has failed to establish the extent to which the proposal will impact upon this European Protected Species."
This means that Morrisons' application should be delayed until the dormouse question has been resolved, probably later in the year. However the decision on what should be done, and whether the planning officer's recommendation should be followed, will be made at the East Sub-area Planning Committee meeting at the Council Offices, Camelford, at 5.00 pm on Thursday 12th August 2010.

Lewis Carroll anticipated this situation in Alice in Wonderland:
"The Dormouse: You've got no right to grow here.
Alice: Don't talk nonsense. You know you're growing too.
The Dormouse: Yes, but I grow at a reasonable pace, not in that ridiculous fashion."
