Penzance Neighbourhood Plan

Developed and written by the local community, the Penzance Neighbourhood Plan sets out planning policies specific to our Penzance Civil Parish area: covering – Penzance, Newlyn, Mousehole, Paul, Heamoor, Gulval, and Eastern Green.

In a referendum on 31 July 2025, electors were asked: “Do you want Cornwall Council to use the neighbourhood plan for Penzance to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?”

91.6% voted ‘YES’, in favour of the Penzance Neighbourhood Plan being used by Cornwall Council in such decisions.
