The Draft Neighbourhood Plan is now live — have your say from 17 November 2025!
The Stoke Climsland Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan is on its way!
Neighbourhood Planning gives our community the chance to set out a positive vision for how we want the Parish to evolve in the coming years, and to have a stronger voice in the important issues that affect land use and housing development. In short, if new development is needed, we want it shaped by local priorities and local knowledge, rather than solely by decisions made in Whitehall or County Hall.
Consultation on the Neighbourhood Plan is open until 5th JANUARY 2026, and we’d love to hear from you.

Who prepared the Neighbourhood Plan? The Plan has been prepared by a Steering Group made up of Stoke Climsland Parish Councillors and local volunteers, working in line with national regulations and guidance from Cornwall Council. The Group has listened carefully to the views of residents and businesses gathered through surveys and events over the past five years, and has been supported by planning consultants, funded mainly through government grant aid delivered by Locality. Alongside this, the Steering Group has carried out detailed research across all of the topics covered by the Plan, helping to shape the policies it contains. By law, the Plan’s policies must also align with national planning policy and the strategic planning framework set by Cornwall Council.
Please note that the NDP and its evidence base, which are written taking into account consultations up to 2025, are all in draft and are of no official status at this stage:
- After this conslutation period, the Plan will be amended in the light of the the feedback we recieve.
- We’ll then publish the amended draft of the Plan and submit it to Cornwall Council in early 2026.
- Cornwall Council will then hold further consultations before arranging for an Independent Examination.
- After that a local referendum on the Plan will be held in the Parish, and if approved it will become part of the Planning system.
