Copied below are the comments which people wrote on post-it notes and stuck on the flipchart. In reply to one question the maximum height of a fence or wall between properties is 2 metres and if a boundary adjoins the highway it is 1 metre

Behind Trecarne View is regularly visited by deer. It is also extremely wet land
Increase in traffic flow will endanger pedestrians as the lanes are very dangerous. This will probably not be taken into consideration but it SHOULD.
With all the sites will St Cleer School be expanded and do they have the money to do it?
Egg Farm Site Band E properties required! Call it Horizon View. No high rise units
I am looking to buy in St Cleer parish, currently rent here. Considering that the facilities, the villages already seem very overdeveloped with housing. Yet there is no employment land (units) or live- work houses for self-employed. Many houses have built new houses in their gardens hence village centre looks cramped and any new houses should have gardens for people to grow veg, have poultry etc. The parish is south facing-all houses should be built to very high energy efficiency levels. I am not adverse to wind energy small-scale and which does not affect wildlife. Do not forget impacts on historic areas. Please keep politics out of parish plan.
Bus doesn’t run on Sundays
Need to look at infrastructure before plans go ahead. Where will the children go to school
Recognise and provide for local need without destroying the nature of the area i.e. village environments
Street names in Cornish this is not England
I will the local people be listened to? Why spoil the village if there isn’t the demand
If housing is mainly affordable, those on low incomes will need decent public transport in order to get to work, in Plymouth for example, (at present you can’t get to Plymouth to work for 9 AM by public transport from Darite.
Do people want to live in a village or a town More housing will make it into a poorly functioning town
Any development at the Water Works is very close to St Cleer downs – important for wildlife-a haven in amongst farming land. Also an entrance to site at the road is dangerous
Infrastructure? How will they cope? Roads, sewers, shops, jobs?
Roads are congested and dangerous enough already. There are often accidents along the road through Darite
Local people should be able to decide what we want in our area, but have to accept the natural consequences-that way and only that way can our country become more sustainable by more and more small area is becoming sustainable.
Transport links?! Where are they
Why is the Council planning five sites when there isn’t the demand
Nature, recreation tranquillity-balance or is it just about cash over opinion
This is our village when will they start listening to us
Not wanted. Not needed. Not listened to
As a resident of Jasper Parc, I am shocked and disappointed to learn of the proposed development behind their homes in Penhale Meadow and Jasper Parc. It will ruin the village!
True democratic accountability? This is a sham
If any more houses are built in St Cleer, it is absolutely VITAL that the infrastructures are setup properly-electric water-GAS? And good access roads for lorries etc
Why are there so many sites planned if the demand is 28
St Cleer is a village, and the amount of housing, extending to the border will turn it into an extension of Liskeard. I believe there is a huge over estimation of the affordable Housing need in this area
Few facilities, fewer jobs. This is not sustainable development. What about carbon emissions? Are we now a suburb of Plymouth?
New housing should be sustainable not put strain on existing communities that are already over populated. There is no local “ right” to a house. The parish is targeted because no local planners live here
Roads in the district are already full of potholes, how will they cope with the additional traffic
Insufficient access narrow roads no pavements increasing traffic from Liskeard / other town or city centres insufficient public transport
Field behind Penhale Meadow is farmland with sheep and cattle. It is also visited regularly by deer. Such a shame to lose this lovely patch of land to houses
There are a limited resources for children in St Cleer.
Are you allowed to take down a perfectly good Cornish hedge to erect a wall that looks like a toy fort.
What about the village’s natural beauty! What about the wildlife
How high are you allowed to erect a wall/fence between existing homes
Who decides whether their village becomes a suburb
There are no NHS facilities in the parish
Why are these developments needed, with plans for 1000+ homes in Liskeard 2 miles away
Is affordable housing relevant in rural areas when times are dying
