CHANGES TO THE PLANNING COMMITTEE PROCESS DURING THE CORONAVIRUS

During the coronavirus outbreak our planning committee will not be meeting face-to-face but will continue to consider planning applications to avoid delays to the planning process, however this will be done remotely. There is still an opportunity for members of the public to make comments to the planning committee – please see full details below.

Planning Committee Process during the coronavirus crisis

Liskeard Town Council places great importance on pre-planning consultations and is seeking to encourage developers/agents to consult with its Planning Committee at the pre-application stage. We want to work in partnership with developers/agents to achieve the best possible developments for Liskeard for the benefit of all concerned.

The responsibility for all local planning decisions rests with Cornwall Council. However, the Town Council is a statutory consultee, whose views on behalf of the community are taken into consideration on all planning applications.
