Will elected Chair of Planning

This evening I was pleased and privileged to be elected unanimously by my colleagues as Chairman of Penzance Council’s Planning Committee.

I’d like to thank all my fellow Councillors for putting their trust in me – I aim to be a fair and neutral Chair, listening to everyone and making sure that everyone is given an equal opportunity to present their views to the committee in an orderly fashion. I want us to continue the spirit of togetherness and unanimity that we’ve championed over the last few years. I’d also like to thank outgoing Chairman, Cllr. Davis, for all of the hard work and dedication that he has put into Chairing the committee and shaping it to be what it is today – he’s a truly tough act to follow!

If anyone ever has any questions about Planning applications in the Penzance parish please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me, either by calling me 07969 842956 or by emailing me at Will.Elliott@Penzance-tc.gov.uk

Housing for happiness

It was an absolute pleasure to be invited to Mounts Bay Academy this afternoon to help judge their ‘housing for happiness’ project, in my role as Chair of Penzance Council’s Planning Committee.

There are a lot of really talented students at Mounts Bay, who clearly put in a lot of work and imagination into their projects, and it was near impossible to pick any favourites – but below are two examples of many many more.

Three clear themes which emerged amongst everyone’s work was sustainability, community, and having a lot of light coming into the house – this gives me confidence that our planet is in good hands with the younger generation.

We have so many talented young people in our town – who knows, some of them may even become the architects, planning officers, or housing developers of tomorrow!
