Considering the constraints of a site is extremely important. Constraints effect:
If planning permission is required
Validation requirements with an application
Costs and design of development
Consideration of timescales.
Constraint checker tool
Cornwall Council has produced a new constraint checker tool.
Please read the Constraint Checker guide to learn more about using the tool.
The checker enables customers to:
Plot the site on the interactive map
View constraints relevant to the planning process
Produce a report of relevant constraints
The constraint checker should be used in conjunction with Cornwall Council's validation Guide.
Important Information
The results provided are not definitive and are limited to constraints identified within the area plotted by the user. Upon submission further checks will be carried out and additional information may be required.
Certain constraints are not included. This is where:

the information is sensitive.
This includes constraint layers in relation to:
Contaminated Land; and
Health and Safety Areas.
The report generated can be submitted with any subsequent planning application. However these will not be placed in the public domain. The plans within the report can not be used can not be used as a plan required with a planning submission. Please visit our website terms of use.
