Housing and open space

This is the page for the Housing and Open space Focus Group.  The Focus Groups are where the detailed work gets done on specific, substantive, on-the-ground topics, as opposed to background organisation of the NDP team – the remit of the Steering Group.

Probably the key housing issue in the parish is the following:  what could an NDP for Perranzabuloe aim to achieve in housing, especially in terms of controlling new large-scale housing developments in the parish?  Click here for the thoughts of Roger Kayes, lead on housing, on this topic.
