The virus responsible for the COVID-19 outbreak has meant we've had to change the way we do some things at the Town Council. We have now returned to face-to-face meetings in the Council Chambers at Marcus Hill – however, we are still observing social distancing measures wherever possible. Please see the Public Information document on the meeting page for further information.
Cornwall Council operates as both our Local Planning Authority (LPA) and our Licensing Authority, and in the first instance they are the decision maker for all planning and licensing matters across the county. However, Newquay Town Council acts as a statutory consultee for all planning applications within the town and frequently comments on local licensing applications. If you have views regarding such matters, you can bring these to the attention of our Planning & Licensing Committee and we will consider them when making our own response.
Written Questions or Representations for the Town Council's Planning & Licensing Committee should be submitted by emailing office@newquay.gov.uk or by writing to the Planning & Licensing Administrator at Newquay Town Council, Municipal Offices, Marcus Hill, Newquay TR7 1AF.
Attending Meetings - Members of the Public can attend our meetings, subject to venue capacity limitations and ongoing COVID measures. We welcome spoken representations and questions for the committee, but these must relate to the business listed on the agenda for that meeting (see our Public Info document for more detail).
Should you wish to attend a meeting of the Planning & Licensing Committee we would be grateful if you could let us know in advance. Please either email office@newquay.gov.uk or use the phone details at the bottom of this page.
We also provide a live stream of our meetings on the Newquay Town Council Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/newquaycouncil (please be aware that we do not monitor the comments made on Facebook during the meeting).
Wherever possible we recommend that you also comment directly to Cornwall Council. You can do this up until the Consultation expiry date. Guidance on how to comment on a planning matter can be found here. Details of licensing applications and how to comment on them can be found here. If you have any queries regarding the above information, please contact us during office hours (9am – 5pm) by phoning 01637 878388 and choosing Option 4 then Option 1
