Community Area Partnerships
Why is this important for the Pelynt NDP? Cornwall’s Local Plan apportioned 1500 dwellings to be delivered in the parishes that make up the rural area of the former Liskeard – Looe CNA. Figures supplied by Cornwall Council show that as a minimum Pelynt Parish needs to deliver 0 (zero) new dwellings between April 2018 and 2030, to be considered in general conformity with the Local Plan. It is important to acknowledge that the above target is a minimum requirement.
Just to be clear – the former CNA objectives listed below still cover all parishes in our area. Objective 4 is important to Pelynt as some development should take place but in a balanced manner and following our plan guidelines.
As the CAP area definitions are emerging now there will be some crossover ‘hiccups’ on the Cornwall Council website and this website. We will strive to keep things updated.
Area Objectives
1 – Economy and Jobs – Deliver economic growth / employment providing much needed jobs to counterbalance current and future housing development in and on the edge of Liskeard.
2 – Sustainable Development – Improve connectivity within and on the edge of Liskeard to ensure the town functions effectively as a major hub and service centre for the network area; including enhanced public transport provision.
It is implied that the document ‘Climate Emergency Development Plan’ will cover all objectives.
3 – Liskeard as a Service Centre – Strengthen Liskeard’s role as a service centre and improve town centre viability through regeneration schemes.
4 – Housing – Balance the housing stock to provide a range of accommodation, particularly for open market family homes and intermediate affordable housing in Liskeard.
5 – Leisure Facilities– Improve and maintain the provision of recreational, cultural and leisure services and facilities in Liskeard with particular focus on delivering sports pitches.
