Regulation 15/16 (submission) documents

Having reviewed comments on the pre-submission (Regulation 14) version of the Perranzabuloe NDP, the Steering Group (SG) made consequent changes. The Perranzabuloe parish council OK’d all the updated documents (Regulation 15) and they were then formally submited on to Cornwall Council for a Regulation 16 Consultation. Responses made during the consultation can be viewed by using the reference PA23/00026/NDP on Cornwall Council’s planning application website.

Supplementary consultation on proposed changes to the Neighbourhood Development Plan
(19th January to 2nd March 2023)

Following comments received during our consultation on the draft NDP held in May 2022 (Pre-submission Regulation 14 stage), the Steering Group consulted with parishioners (plus statutory consultees and businesses) on three changes to the draft plan.

Shrink the Principal Residence Policy to just Perranporth
Cornwall Council have strongly suggested that the required evidence for a Principal Residence Policy is not strong enough to support this as a parish wide policy. This could lead to the entire policy being rejected. We are consequently proposing a Principal Residence Policy for only the area where there is a strongest evidence base. This is Perranporth and it’s immediate surroundings.
> Full details. (PDF)
Change the Settlement Gap and Green Buffer between Perranporth and Bolingey given the new secondary school announcement
The now announced location for a new secondary school on the edge of Perranporth could totally undermine the proposed Settlement Gap between Perranporth and Bolingey. We are proposing a change to this Settlement Gap to keep development from linking the distinct villages of Perranporth and Bolingey, while supporting the proposed school site.
> Full details. (PDF)
Change the Settlement Boundary, Settlement Gap and Green Buffer at Ramoth Way (Perranporth)
We agree with comments received that the Perranporth Settlement Boundary along Ramoth Way in Perranporth should be drawn outside existing properties. This has the knock-on of more appropriately protecting undeveloped land in this area as a Local Green Space and not a Green Buffer. (Please note that Settlement Boundary can be called a Development Boundary*).
