Penzance Neighbourhood Plan isn’t “all about Penzance” but covers the entire parish from Eastern Green to Mousehole. It’s named after the parish not the town!

We’ve already got good input from people living in Eastern Green, Gulval, Heamoor, Penzance, Mousehole and Paul about how they see the future of where they live.

It’s important to get your views on the future of Newlyn so that the Neighbourhood Plan can properly and fairly reflect them.  

We’ve put together some questions and statements based around some of the Plan’s main aims and from speaking to people in Newlyn. Please give us your answers and your suggestions. How would you improve the village? Tell us if you think we’ve missed something!
Newlyn is a separate community with its own distinct identity. Please say what you think makes it different and what defines it. 
The centre of Newlyn needs to be made more pedestrian/
cycle friendly and traffic hot spots identified and made safer

It is important that people are able to have safe and easy access to the natural environment

Question Title

* 8. Your views

 
It's easy and safe to get to and use the existing green spaces, footpaths and bridleways
The footpaths and bridleways are in good order and easy to use
There are enough places for children to play
I enjoy using the Promenade
I think the Promenade is a special place
The cycle way from Newlyn to Mousehole needs better signposting

Question Title

* 9. Cornwall Council’s Local Plan identifies Sandy Cove and land adjacent to Stable Hobba as sites for business and employment. We’d like to understand what type of business activities you’d like to see on those sites

The proposed development of the redundant Penlee Quarry would create a deepwater marina and high end residential properties

Question Title

* 10. Your views

 
It would support growth of the marine engineering and service economy
It would contribute to the status of Mount’s Bay as a sailing destination
It would bring high income residents to the area who would spend their money locally and support the village economy
It would be a good place for 2nd homes and keep them out of the village centre
It could be used to subsidise affordable housing elsewhere in the village
It would threaten the natural environment
The traffic implications of this development are acceptable
