Planning policy
We are consulting on the The Climate Emergency Development Plan Document (DPD) between 26 February – 5pm 16 April 2021. Please view the consultation documents on The Climate Emergency Development Plan Document (DPD) page.
These policies give an indication of what type and scale of development is appropriate and are used to determine planning applications.
The Planning Policy Team is responsible for:
- Creating the planning vision and strategy for Cornwall. This will set out how development will take place to 2030 and beyond.
- Producing the Cornwall Local Plan and other policy documents. The Local Plan sets out policies used to decide planning applications.
- Monitoring the delivery of development
- Monitoring how well our policies are used
- Neighbourhood Planning
The Cornwall Local Plan was formally adopted in November 2016. It provides a positive and flexible planning policy framework for Cornwall up to 2030.
