North Cornwall is the largest of the six local government districts of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Its council is based in Wadebridge. Other places include Bude, Bodmin, Launceston, Padstow, and Camelford. The district was formed on 1 April 1974 by a merger of the boroughs of Bodmin and Launceston, along with Bude-Stratton urban district and Camelford Rural District, Launceston Rural District, Stratton Rural District and Wadebridge and Padstow Rural District.

North Cornwall is an area of outstanding natural beauty that is of important geological and scientific interest. It is the only part of Cornwall that is made of carboniferous sandstone. A similar area is covered by the North Cornwall parliamentary constituency.

The district will be abolished as part of the 2009 structural changes to local government in England.

Housing

On 9th January 2008 the ‘Regional Spatial Strategy for the South West’ (RSS) announced plans to massively increase house-building in Cornwall stating that almost 70,000 new homes would be built by 2026. The findings of the ‘Examination in Public’ into the RSS, were produced by the unelected South West Regional Assembly. The original Draft RSS was published in 2006 and the new figures show another 53% increase. Figures for the new plans included - Caradon – 6,500 housing units (an increase of 700 on the original document), Carrick - 10,900 housing units (increase of 900), Kerrier – 14,400 housing units (increase of 6,200), North Cornwall – 13,400 housing units ( increase of 5,800), Penwith - 7,800 housing units (increase of 3,000), Restormel - 15,700 housing units (increase of 7,100).¹ There has been much concern in Cornwall regarding these proposals and Dick Cole the leader of the Cornish political party Mebyon Kernow has issued a statement saying that local housing strategy should be determined by democratically elected Cornish politicians.
