The Ponsanooth Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan has now been published for public consultation!
The Plan will help to shape how the Parish changes up to 2030 and will be taken into account when planning applications are decided by Cornwall Council.
A local community team has worked on behalf of the Parish to draw up the
Neighbourhood Development Plan, based on feedback from several community surveys and evidence reports covering a variety of topics.
The Plan aims to:
- Increase the amount of affordable housing for local people.
- Protect our countryside, green spaces and heritage.
- Influences the design of new buildings.
- Help to tackle the climate crisis.
- Be environmentally, economically and socially sustainable.
- Help direct funding from development to deliver Parish priorities e.g.
better traffic calming/new paths and trails.
