In September I let you know that the draft Roseland Character Guide was being released for consultation. Each Parish Council discussed the document and the five Parishes in the Roseland NDP area agreed the Roseland Character Guide. It will now be used by the Parish Councils and Cornwall Council planning officers as guidance when assessing planning applications.

Our thanks go to Graham Webb, Caroline Coldwell, Yvonne Fuller and Sue Wagstaff, along with the many involved in the assessments of conservation areas and local landscape character.

The guide is an interesting read, looking at housing evolution on the Roseland and the character of our place and key design features. A must read for anyone thinking of carrying out development on the Roseland.The full report can be found at www.roselandplan.org
