A Message from the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group

Thank you to everyone who has shared their thoughts and comments on the draft Parish Neighbourhood Plan. This is just a reminder to anyone who hasn’t yet done so, that the deadline for comments is coming up at the end of the month.

Please do take a few minutes to provide your feedback, it’s your Plan and it’s important that it provides planning guidance that will work positively to make sure that future development here benefits the Parish community, and protects the resources and areas that are important to you ....but the Steering Group won’t know unless you tell them!

It is really important that you tell the Steering Group:

 - if the draft Plan’s policies cover the issues which you feel are important here? If so please confirm which policies you feel will be most beneficial to the Parish and why.

And/or

 - if there are important planning issues that the Plan’s policies don’t address properly, or don’t address strongly enough? If so what and why?

The Feedback Form can be downloaded from the Neighbourhood Plan website www.ourperran.co.uk along with the Neighbourhood Plan itself, an ‘At a Glance’ summary of the Plan’s policies, and all other relevant documents.

Thank you .... Let’s forge a stronger Parish together!

Public Consultation

The Parish Council is working on a draft Neighbourhood Plan. A Neighbourhood Plan is designed to give communities more control over the type, location, size, pace and design of development in their area. When it is complete, the Neighbourhood Plan will be voted upon by all Parishioners.  If it is passed, it will be used by the Parish Council and Cornwall Council when considering development in the Parish.  A Neighbourhood Plan gives us all a chance to input into the future of our lovely Parish.  As part of the plan drafting process, we are working on a "Landscape Character Assessment" document and, as a vital part of this, we would like to gather your views on what you value particularly in our Parish - be it a place, a memory, a view, etc.  If you can make it to St Piran's Hall this Saturday, you can give us your input in person as we will have a table at the Christmas Fair which is running from 1pm - 4pm. If you cannot make the Fair, then please email your views to us at: perranplan@btinternet.com.  

We will be posting the current draft of the Landscape Character Assessment on the Parish Council website so that you can review the full document.  It has one chapter missing - your views - so please do get in contact and help us to complete that section.

Parish Council Open Day

The Parish Council has arranged an open day on Thursday 18th February between 3pm and 7pm at St Piran’s Hall for residents to drop in meet their local Parish and Cornwall Councillors, learn more about the potential benefits of a Neighbourhood Plan for our area and express your views on priorities.

We have distributed posters in Goldsithney, Perranuthnoe and Rosudgeon and are keen to get as many residents along as possible.

As you will have read in my previous email Perranuthnoe Parish Council has been working with Cornwall Council on this issue and following the general support of residents in a community survey we are now proposing to develop a Neighbourhood Plan for the Parish which includes Goldsithney, Perran Downs, Perranuthnoe and (most of) Rosudgeon.

The advantage of an agreed Neighbourhood Plan is that it can potentially give the community more influence over the size and type of any development proposed within the Parish whether it is housing or commercial as well as an opportunity to prioritise and protect local amenities and open space.

Please spare some time to drop into St Piran's Hall on Thursday 18th February between 3pm and 7pm to learn about the plan and express your views.

We look forward to seeing you.

Perranuthnoe Parish Council
