Planning & Licensing

The Planning Applications listed below will be included on the agenda for the Town Council’s Planning & Licensing meeting, scheduled for 16 December 2025
But not all Planning Applications are discussed at the meeting:
If a minor application is considered relatively uncomplicated and unlikely to result in harm, the Committee will be presented with a pre-prepared, recommended response. This allows our Councillors more time during meetings to focus their discussions on applications that are potentially more complex.
However, if you have concerns about an application listed below and would like the Committee to discuss it in full, please get in touch with us by email: committee@newquay.gov.uk or by calling 01637 878388
Attending the Meeting: Members of the public are welcome to attend and speak at our meetings, and there is no need to register in advance. However, we would appreciate it if you could let us know you are coming; please use the contact details provided above.
