In June 2023, the land received a positive Pre-Application response regarding potential development under Policy 9 (Rural Exception Sites). Since then, updates to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Cornwall Council's focus on bringing forward development in sustainable village centres have shifted the approach. Development is no longer required to be led primarily by affordable housing, although such schemes may still be prioritised. We believe this creates a timely opportunity to advance the site under Policy 8.
