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.
Constraints on development are shown on our interactive mapping pages.
Cornwall Council is currently in the process of producing a new constraint checker. This new system will enable customers to:
Plot the site on the interactive map
View constraints relevant to the planning process
Produce a report of relevant constraints
Keep an eye on our validation updates page for go live dates.
