Correction. This corrected edition replaces the version first published on 3 October 2026, which counted pre-application advice requests as planning decisions for some local planning authorities. The planning figures below exclude them. The original version remains online unchanged.

Cornwall, the local planning authority covering Camborne, approved 242 residential planning applications and refused 32 in Q3 2026 (1 July to 30 September 2026), with 290 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 88%. A further 1 residential decision in the period has no recorded outcome in the source data and is not counted above. Planning figures come from local planning authority records compiled by Landstack, retrieved on 3 October 2026. Councils and Landstack can take several days to publish decisions, so decisions made in the final days of Q3 2026 may not all be included yet.

Schemes approved in Q3 2026, together with those still awaiting a decision, propose around 4,626 homes, an estimated £995.7m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

Cornwall covers more than one town in Cornwall, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Camborne alone.
