Residents have their last chance to have their say on the documents Cornwall Council will use as a ‘blueprint’ for where new housing, business and commercial developments will be built.

They also outline new development charges to support infrastructure and describe how the council plans to protect mineral resources.

With lots of work and consultation already undertaken, the surveys, which close at 5pm on Monday (August 7) are residents’ last opportunity to let the council know if they think the locations for development are right, and charges framed correctly.

The council wants to know what residents think about proposals set out in three planning documents:

Where development will take place in the future: The Cornwall Site Allocations document survey is about identifying development sites for future growth in areas including Bodmin, Launceston and Saltash; it identifies the infrastructure needed to support this growth.

The Community Infrastructure Levy document survey is about new development charges for single homes, and small and large developments, to help fund the infrastructure needed as a result of development.

And the Minerals Safeguarding document survey is about safeguarding mineral resources and mineral infrastructure in Cornwall
