Developing a new Cornwall Local Plan
Help us to plan for the future
We're creating a plan for what Cornwall can become in the next 20 years.
It's all about finding ways to treasure what's important to you, while shaping places that can thrive in our changing world.
With your help, we'll shape the rules for local planning across Cornwall.
