Bodmin Neighbourhood Plan
Following the agreement by Bodmin Town Council to create a Neighbourhood Development Plan for Bodmin, the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group was formed to engage with the community and to implement the creation of a Neighbourhood Plan document.
The Chairman of this Steering Group is Councillor J P Cooper.
The Steering Group currently consists of the following Town Councillor Members:
- P Brown
- J P Cooper (Chairman)
- P T Cooper
- J R Gibbs
- P L G Skea
Seven independent formal representatives from the public will also be elected to sit on the Steering Group.
We are pleased to have reached the public consultation stage for The Neighbourhood Development Plan. From 30th August and over the next 7 weeks, we will be running a series of pop-up events at different locations in Bodmin and would love to hear your thoughts and receive your feedback. During the consultation period, there will be an exhibition at Shire Hall where you can view a summary of the journey so far and the plan to date. Keep a look out on our website and Facebook page for more information and dates.
A team of consultants led by Summerfield Planning, Clifton Emery Design and AWP Partnerships have been commissioned by Bodmin Town Council to assist them in preparing a Neighbourhood Development Plan. The NDP is a legal planning document that will help to guide the type and form of development in the Bodmin area in the future. The plan will set out the projects and planning policies that will help to shape and improve our community over the coming years.
You can view the draft plan online from today and give feedback to help shape the final version visit Bodmin Draft Consultation.

Public Consultations
Late in 2019, Bodmin Town Council began the preparatory work for the Bodmin Neighbourhood Plan. Progress on the Neighbourhood Plan was disrupted by the COVID 19 outbreak resulting in the postponement of the physical gatherings planned but, as lockdown began to ease the work has restarted.
Engagement with residents is a mandatory aspect of any Neighbourhood Plan and planning has begun on a programme of events and surveys to engage Bodmin residents and canvas opinions. A survey was commissioned in 2021 and the following themes and topics were used as a basis for the consultation with residents:
- Theme 1 – Business and Employment
- Theme 2 – Housing
- Theme 3 – Community
- Theme 4 – Climate Change and Future Sustainability
We had nearly 800 responses to this survey and can be seen in the information below.
Getting Started
As a first step, we wanted to collect resident feedback about these Themes and Topics, and specifically to understand the relative importance of the Topics. It is vitally important that residents and have their say.
Bodmin looks forward to facing new challenges and opportunities as we move to the “new normal”. The Neighbourhood Plan gives us an opportunity to move forward, as a community, to determine what we want Bodmin to be like in the years to come. We look forward to involving the community in the formation of the Neighbourhood Plan. Your input is key to the success of the Plan.
