Vision 

Ponsanooth will be a vibrant rural parish, centred around its strong community of residents and businesses. We will approach modern challenges in a way which protects and builds on its historic and natural character. 

The vision statement is closely related to the statement for the Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP), and this is intentional, as the work of the NDP is a place based piece of work so has already consulted on a wide range of issues which affect businesses and residents.  

This is underpinned by key themes which have been developed out of the NDP and supplemented by review of other working groups consultations, direct community and business engagement, and direct (to councillors) and indirect (e.g. social media) feedback. 

 

1 Local services are protected and enhanced

2 Ensure future generations of local families can remain in the Parish

3 A Parish that is more adaptable to the future; e.g. climate change

4 Better Transport connections, cycling, rail, footpaths and road

5 A parish that embraces renewable energy

6 Activities and facilities for under 25s

7 Protect Open Green Spaces, tree canopy and the diversity of natural habitats

8 Developments are respectful of the parish heritage, adding value to the community

9 An environment where people can live and work locally - promote local employment and create outdoor spaces for exercise and recreation for all
