THE FIRST Hayle Neighbourhood Plan meeting will take place tonight.

The inaugural meeting, devised by Hayle Town Council, will discuss the elements of the plan and create a project timetable.

A Neighbourhood Plan is designed to set out a vision for an area and planning policies for the use and development of land.

Town councillor, John Bennett, became chairman of the group at a meeting of the town council last week.

He said: "This council has determined we are going to make a new plan. We are quite a bit behind some (other councils). We have got to look at timescales and what can be done. We need to think about the World Heritage Site."

The Hayle Neighbourhood Plan will be able to indicate where new shops, offices or homes should be built, as well as what open spaces and amenities should be protected.

In order for any Neighbourhood Plan to be adopted, it has to have support from the local community and needs to conform to planning policies.

All are welcome to attend the meeting which starts at 7.30pm tonight at Hayle Community Centre.
