ALICE DALE UPDATE                                                                                                  It was decided to have a committee of 4, It was also agreed that any discussion concerning the Alice Dale should be held in private, There is also a need to get a new constitution in place                                 The Clerk was asked to contact CALC and the Almshouse assoc for further guidance.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN UPDATE

Cllr Ryan  reported that the Steering Group had corrected a few errors in the initial draft External Examiners report and had submitted additional 2021 Census evidence in support of Policy 5c Principal residency showing a higher level of unoccupied properties than in the 2011 Census although the 2021 Census used a more widespread range of data collection than simply the Census form and so the two figures are not strictly comparable,    The examiner in her final report accepted the updated evidence for the sake of completeness but still felt that it was not sufficient to justify a principal Residency  condition on all new build residences in the Parish so Policy5c has been removed. She acknowledged the strong community support for this policy and recommended  that the situation should be kept under review and reconsidered when the plan is updated, The Steering Group agreed  to implement  all of the requested changes and the plan has been updated and we are now re-checking and updating all of the links in the light of the changes to the document.  This work should be completed shortly and the plan will then be submitted to Cornwall Council as the Referendum version
