Neighbourhood Priorities Statements (NPS) in Cornwall

Neighbourhood Priorities Statements Cornwall

Before a neighbourhood priorities statement can be prepared, you must apply to us to designate a neighbourhood area:

• make a Neighbourhood Priorities Statement

• fill in our letter template explaining why the area is appropriate to be designated as a neighbourhood area

• attach your map showing the proposed designated area

• contact us for our mapping service if you need a map: neighbourhoodplanning@cornwall.gov.uk 

• a cluster is an area covering more than one parish.  If it is a cluster we will publish your application on the online planning register for at least 6 weeks.  This is so that local people have time to make comments

• our neighbourhood priorities statement activity map shows the progress of neighbourhood priorities statements in our pilot.

Progress of Neighbourhood Priorities Statements in Cornwall and progress documents

Neighbourhood priorities statements do not contain planning policies but they do allow local people to influence growth and development in their area. 

An NPS is an opportunity for residents to set out their aspirations for the future and identify important local planning issues.

When we write policies for the next Cornwall Local Plan, we will have a legal duty to consider all approved NPS.
