One of the proposed policies will be that development should not impact on the enjoyment of key views of distinct buildings, heritage assets, landscape, coast and open countryside – and we will support the Plan with a portfolio of photographs to identify just what those views and vistas are.

No-one knows better than you of what we need to protect – and we are asking you to help the Neighbourhood Plan by contributing photographs of the views and beauty spots that mean something to you – please send to CPD@cornwallrcc.org.uk or hard copies at the TIC in the Marcus Hill Municipal buildings.

All we need to know is; where you took the photo (standing from, looking towards etc), the date it was taken and why it is important to you.

If you can get them to us by 24th May, we hope to display them at our upcoming consultation events, starting on the 3rd of June at Trenance Cottages.

Resident Survey Results

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

The responses from the returned surveys are now all entered – this took a considerable number of hours because of the volume of paper surveys sent back and because we extended the deadline to allow additional surveys received to be included.  This task was completed in December.

We have now put together a summary of the responses and will be posting the comments as soon as these have been formatted into a document.  The results are available on our surveys page here.

Once again, many thanks for telling us your views and putting forward your ideas – this is crucial as it is your collective views that will drive the policies within the Neighbourhood Plan.

Information Evening on Landscape Environment and Habitat

By | Meetings, Updates | No Comments

Work on the Newquay Neighbourhood Plan continues to progress and there will be an information session at 7pm on the 28th July at Newquay Town Council covering Landscape Environment & Habitat.

The work on the Newquay Neighbourhood Plan to date has shown that this is a priority subject area for residents so the Steering Group is now looking to form a small sub group of dedicated volunteers to help progress evidence gathering to inform planning policies (that will influence land use and development in the parish for the next twenty years).  There will be a short presentation on what this will involve – and we hope that it will be an enjoyable task, as well as a very worthwhile part of the process.

Although the Neighbourhood Plan will also be concerned with other areas (including economy, design & housing) understanding and valuing our natural environment is a fundamental subject that will inform other parts of the final plan.

We’d like anyone who is interested in finding out more to come along on the 28th – you’re not committing  to anything and there will be various opportunities to get involved (with different time commitments) – so even if you would just like to know more, please do join us.  We will be presenting some general information about the Plan to date as well as more information about how we are going to progress the Landscape, Environment & Habitat theme.

It would be helpful if you could let us know that you will be attending – just to help with our preparation for the evening.  You can either contact us (using the contact us details) or contact CRCC on : 01872 243535 or cpd@cornwallrcc.org.uk to confirm your attendance or if you have any queries.

Newquay Neighbourhood Plan – April 2015

By | Updates | No Comments

The students from Tretherras and Treviglas have done a great job carrying out market research with parents, students and businesses and the results are now being analysed. The findings from this piece of work plus the results of the (still open, link here) scoping survey will help inform the next stage of consultation. This will be more in depth and focused on specific areas or themes for the Neighbourhood Plan.

In addition we have also been welcomed by Newquay Regeneration Forum to talk to their members about the Neighbourhood Plan and make sure that local interest groups get involved and have their views heard. In fact there is a business scoping survey, kindly put together by the students, and can be completed by clicking here. Please share this with anyone you think is interested.

We’re busy working on this website which will hold the most up to date information on the Neighbourhood Plan (we will be adding lots of info during May and June 2015) and we’re also planning on attending many local events over the summer to start to consult in a more in depth way, based on what you’re telling us so far.

Don’t forget, we’re also really happy to come and talk to any local interest group in the community, just get in touch and we could come to your next meeting.

Early results are telling us that priority areas for the Neighbourhood Plan concern the natural environment, local business, community facilities and parking.   We’re now comparing this to what is in the emerging Cornwall Local Plan and how a Newquay Neighbourhood Plan can add the detail to make sure residents have influence over development happening in the area.

As ever it’s your involvement that will make it happen. So please do take part in the process and encourage others that you know to do the same. The more people we engage with the better the plan will be as it will reflect what you – the community wants.  Share the surveys, keep an eye out in the local press, visit us at events and contact us directly on nnp@newquaycouncil.co.uk or on 01637 878388 (and select option 1)– we want to hear from you.
