Sustainable Community Strategy for Cornwall

The Sustainable Community Strategy for Cornwall is being refreshed - use the link opposite to find out more.

A Sustainable Community Strategy sets out what is important for quality of life and what can be done to protect or improve it in a way that is sustainable. It articulates community needs and aspirations and provides a framework to co-ordinate the actions of public, private, voluntary and community organisations to respond. Cornwall Council has a legal responsibility to prepare a Sustainable Community Strategy in collaboration with the membership of the Cornwall Strategic Partnership.

The Sustainable Community Strategy for Cornwall therefore:

• Sets the strategic objectives for the "big issues" for Cornwall

• Is long term - effective until 2028 

• Considers all aspects of quality of life for all of Cornwall's residents now, and in the future

The Sustainable Community Strategy for Cornwall is being refreshed and will be published in a revised format in the Autumn of 2010. A wide-ranging engagement programme will give people the opportunity to have their say, not just about the Strategy, but also in the context of long term spatial planning and infrastructure for Cornwall, through the Local Development Framework. There will be just one consultation exercise, running over several months and in different formats, to cover both aspects of Cornwall's future plans. It is a significant opportunity for people to get involved and influence how Cornwall develops in years to come.Find out more about the Refresh of the Sustainable Community Strategy using the link on the left

The current Sustainable Community Strategy was approved by the Cornwall Strategic Partnership and Cornwall County Council in the Autumn of 2008. In July 2009, the newly constituted Cornwall Strategic Partnership agreed to focus on 4 priority areas from the Sustainable Community Strategy. You can find out more about these on the Home Page.
