Housing
RK reported that in early June he had attended a meeting with Sarah Furley and Imogen Day of Cornwall Council’s NDP team at one of their quarterly surgeries. Among the various issues discussed, he raised the issue of whether we can get advice from Development Control Officers in our area about the potential value of policies that we would like to develop. From Cornwall Council’s perspective it will be fine if we approach Glen Lowe who deals with a large number of applications in this area.
RK also briefly reviewed his perspective of the ongoing controversy in Crantock, following the approval given in early June to a specific housing development. The PC interprets this decision as contrary to the NDP that had passed at referendum in May and it is currently crowd-funding a judicial review of this decision. While we don’t know the grounds for the review, one of the issues is whether the need for Affordable Housing has already been addressed by existing planning permissions within the parish (which would mean that there is little reason for approving the application). Dimensions of this are: one of the sites approved looks unlikely to come forward, leaving a shortfall: the NDP aims to cover the period to 2030, and more people are likely to come forward onto the Home Choice Register (housing list) during the next few years. RK expressed his intention to pursue the issue of phasing of development over the plan period.
There followed discussion of the implications for this line of thinking for our parish: the requirement that new housing developments are permitted to provide further Affordable Homes for those on the Home Choice Register, with a preference for this parish.
CA-Z queried whether or not the use of SUDS for storm water drainage should be included within the NDP.
6. Project planning
This was dealt with in ‘Matters arising’.
7. Financial matters
None arising.
8. Any other business
It was suggested that the NDP is represented at the Christmas Market.
9. Items for next meeting
The Flyer
10. Date of next meeting and closure
The next meeting will be on Tuesday the 16th October in the Parish Council offices in Perranporth.
The meeting finished at 8.45pm.
