THE VOTE – Perranuthnoe Plan is Adopted!
After 8 years of research, consultation, drafting and ultimately independent examination and referendum, Perranuthnoe Parish has its own unique local Plan. Once the Plan had passed the final examination, Cornwall Council held a vote for Parish residents, on 10th August 2023, so that it would be local people who live in the Parish who would decide whether the Neighbourhood Plan should be formally adopted.
87.45% cast their vote in favour of the Perranuthnoe Neighbourhood Plan. The answer was a clear YES!
The Neighbourhood Plan is therefore now a formally adopted planning document which has the same legal status as the Cornwall Local Plan. It must be used for all development planning decisions in the Parish of Perranuthnoe.

So What is a Neighbourhood Plan?
Neighbourhood planning gives communities the opportunity to play a direct role in shaping the future of the area in which they live. It helps to ensure that planning works positively to achieve patterns and types of development that are sustainable and support long-term community well-being.
The Perranuthnoe Neighbourhood Plan provides a Local Planning Framework for achieving development that is fine-tuned to meet the needs and priorities of this Parish and the people that live here.
The Plan has been developed through a process of extensive consultation and research, which has enabled the Parish to gain an understanding of what local people value, their development needs, how places function, areas of special value, and to identify development opportunities, pressure points and risks.
Based on this information, the Plan establishes a Vision, Objectives And Policies which aim to provide clear local guidance to help ensure that development is focused in the most appropriate areas and that it works positively to meet local housing needs and to respect and conserve areas and characteristics of significant social, cultural, historic, economic and environmental value.
