The Local plan phase one was consulted upon last year in Newquay. The original housing target was going to be for 47,500 houses to be built in the Duchy by 2030. Simon Emerson, a Government appointed inspector, led the consultation in Newquay last year and he then reported back to Cornwall Council as to whether the Local Plan was 'sound' or not. As per his findings it seems the Local Plan wasn't sound and one of the points that he made was, because of the percentage of second homes in the Duchy, he wanted to see an extra 7% added on to 47,500. The plan was then reverted back to Westminster before being consulted on again this year. Mr Emerson is imminently due back in the Duchy to resume the Local Plan consultation. The housing target is no longer 47,500 unaffordable homes it is now 52,500.
