Planning Committee

Chair 2024/25: Councillor Simon Cassidy

Deputy Chair 2024/25: Councillor Naomi Taylor

Members – Councillors Tracy Adams, David Braithwaite, Nick Craker, Annette Lee-Julian, Jane Pascoe, Tony Powell and Lori Reid. The Mayor and Deputy Mayor are Ex Officio Members of all Committees with Voting Rights.

This committee is administered by the Deputy Town Clerk, Yvette Hayward who can be contacted on office@liskeard.gov.uk

The Planning Committee is responsible for planning issues, applications and consultations with other bodies such as Highways. The Committee normally meets every 4 weeks throughout the year.

Liskeard Town Council places great importance on pre-planning consultations and is seeking to encourage developers/agents to consult with its Planning Committee at the pre-application stage. We want to work in partnership with developers/agents to achieve the best possible developments for Liskeard for the benefit of all concerned.

The responsibility for all local planning decisions rests with Cornwall Council. However, the Town Council is a statutory consultee, whose views on behalf of the community are taken into consideration on all planning applications.
