Are you implying, then, that outside the red boundary lines it will be a free for all?
When the NDP was being drawn up, surveys were sent out to the whole parish. From the feedback it was clear that there was considerable concern that development was harming such things as village character, heritage, wildlife and biodiversity, and the green spaces between villages – the things that make Calstock Parish the special place that it is. It was clear that people wanted new development to be of a scale and character that respects the distinctive qualities of the area. The Plan responds to that by setting village development boundaries and between them setting ‘rural gaps’ to be protected.
Inside the development boundaries ‘infill’ is allowed and also redevelopment of brownfield land. Outside the boundaries only agricultural dwellings etc are to be allowed, and if a site is environmentally suitable, small affordable local needs estates (known as Rural Exception Sites). This is in line with national and Cornwall Council policy.
When do you think they will expand on the red line ? I have land just outside and would like to free up my large family home so I can live in a mobile home.
The Plan is until 2030 but will be reviewed as issues arise, people can still put planning applications in but Cornwall Council will take into account our policies as well as those in the Cornwall Local Plan and National Planning Policy Framework.
