Site Options and Assessment 2023, Updated 2024
This report is an assessment of potential development sites in Ponsanooth Parish to guide decision making on Neighbourhood Plan policies relating to housing. It has been prepared to provide advice and recommendations to the Ponsanooth Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) group.
Master Plan
The Ponsanooth Site Masterplan Final Report, created by AECOM in October 2023, explores plans for developing land behind the Old School in Ponsanooth for housing and possibly a new rail halt.
The report provides a broad plan based on research and site visits, showing how good design can support a well-planned and sustainable development. It examines the local area, planning policies, and key opportunities and challenges. It also presents three different development options, each balancing housing needs and open space in different ways, before recommending a preferred approach that considers sustainability and community needs.
This masterplan acts as a guide to ensure new developments fit well with Ponsanooth’s character and future vision. It highlights the importance of sustainable housing, encouraging walking and cycling, and protecting the local environment. The report is intended for use by developers, landowners, planners, the parish council, and community groups. It also outlines next steps to help deliver a high-quality development that benefits the village.
