To receive Cornwall Council's Planning Policy consultation and consider any actions. (Pursuant to FTC held on 6.2.25 minute nr.352/24/25) Minutes: Members reviewed and discussed the consultation within the circulated pack.
It was proposed by Councillor Brady, seconded by Councillor Stoyel and RESOLVED to delegate to the Town Clerk to submit Saltash Town Council’s comments to Cornwall Council’s Planning Policy Consultation as follows:
Generally, a fairly wide-ranging document and we are fortunate that the Saltash Neighbourhood Plan was completed and signed off in 2022 and most of the areas covered in the proposed Interim policy statement includes a number of areas that we have already covered in the SNP and it is good to see that each plan will be still considered on a planning-by-planning basis. (Section 1.3)
Main areas of concern would be Chapter 5 affordable housing mix and controls on rural housing. This would be an area that would need to be closely looked at due to the lack of accessibility to local transport, medical facilities and schools. Saltash is already very poorly catered for in public transport and we have already experienced planning applications in the past which were refused due to their rural location and lack of accessibility to public transportation and medical provisions.
Saltash has no hospital, and the two doctor’s surgeries are at capacity of patient numbers. The senior school has no prospect of extending their facilities due to lack of additional grounds to be able to be built on.
While we all appreciate the need for more housing as demand is exceeding supply putting extra pressure on local infrastructure and facilities
