Do you know what Creek it is, as I don't know of any that have been refused as fishing has primary use of the coastal waters. A search of the Cornwall planning site lists no pontoons or landing decks refused in the last 20+ years (1 exception was a boatyard pontoon but that was part of a much larger approvd scheme) There are a couple of old wives tales about the Emmets getting permissions refused, but there isn't any proof as the schemes have been approved.

Hi Dave, I found it after a search. Time goes quicker as I age and I didn't realise it was so long ago, but it shows that the principle I commented on originally is factual. Helford Jetty Conflict has broken out in the village of Helford in Cornwall over a jetty that the fishermen wish to build to make landing their catch easier and more safely. The fishermen wish to build a jetty along the foreshore and a short access road to that they no longer have to struggle with driving along the shore in the cars. The jetty would be built out of local stone and would soon blend into the setting. Plans for the jetty and roadway were approved by Kerrier district council almost two years ago to the satisfaction of local conservation bodies. However A number of Helford property owners, mostly second home owners not from the area who formed the Helford Village Development Society Limited, brought the High Court case against Kerrier council. The limited company had argued on eight grounds that the council’s decision to grant planning permission was flawed and should be quashed. The judge rejected seven of these grounds, but allowed the other. This fight over the plans for a modern jetty and access road at Helford, near Helston, has been seen as a symbol of the conflict between wealthy second-home owners and locals trying to improve their prospects. The judgment is major blow to fishermen and a huge disappointment to their supporters. Chris Bean, a Helford fisherman who has been trying to get the jetty built for five years, was bitterly disappointed. However the council can withdraw the plans and re-summit them at a later date.

One of the gangsters in the US prohibition era used to bribe people with a similar phrase. Possibly Al Capone. It virtually means if you are a good boy then I'll set you up with a nice little business (run by the mob obviously). It was a slight aimed at Kevin McClory who they thought was only bothered about the money. They had to wait until he died before they could reuse the character as he kept claiming copyright.
