Calstock Parish Council
Neighbourhood Plan
Parish Questionnaire October 2015 Initial Analysis
Completed by: Clare Bullimore, Deputy Clerk to the Parish Council Richard Hoile, Parish Councillor 1.0 Headlines
1.1 The Office of National Statistics currently records the Parish (2011 Census) as having a population of 6,253 and 2,769 households.
1.2 The mailing of a questionnaire to every household in the Parish resulted in 497 forms being completed (344 using the form provided and 153 online) by the closing date 16 October 2015.
1.3 Sixteen questionnaires were returned by persons who wished to remain anonymous.
1.4 Four of the identifiable respondents submitted 2 questionnaires; 3 of whom submitted identical responses online probably by pressing the back button on their browser and pressing ‘submit’ a second time; the fourth person submitted one on paper and the other online, which contained some differences in their answers.
1.5 Making the assumption that the anonymous responses were all completed by different individuals, 493 people responded, 7.88% of the population.
1.6 Fifteen of the responses were completed by persons living in a household with one or more other respondents, representing 7 households in total.
1.7 Making the assumption that the anonymous responses were all completed by different individuals living in different homes, a return was received from 485 individuals in different households, 17.52% of the housing stock.
1.8 Shortly after the closing date, three were selected at random from all of the completed questionnaires, where contact information had been provided, each of whom were awarded £50.
2.0 Conclusions
2.1 The age profile of the 454 respondents that provided a precise age does not fully represent the Parish population, of:
Q 2011 Census youngest 17 oldest 94 average age 62 45.7 Less than 18 0.22% 18.7% 18 - 44 12.5% 23.3% 45 - 64 38.5% 34.7% 65 or over 48% 23.3
2.2 The gender profile of the respondents does represent the Parish population, of the 473 respondents that gave their gender:
Q 2011 Census Female 51.8% 51.7% Male 48.2% 48.3%
2.3 With the exception of Chilsworthy Ward which is significantly under represented and Calstock Ward which is slightly over represented, the returns closely match the proportion of individuals listed on the voters’ register:
Ward Q Electorate Calstock 23.9% 16.4% Chilsworthy 1.6% 8.7% Delaware 27.4% 26.3% Gunnislake 28% 26.8% Harrowbarrow 19.1% 21.8%
2.4 As can be seen from the initial examples in the detailed analysis below, when comparing the data obtained from the questionnaires to the 2011 Census data for Calstock Parish, there are significant variations even when statistically adjusting the questionnaire data as if it had been completed by the entire Parish.
3.0 Recommendations
3.1 When using information to support a particular point of fact (age, housing type, social need etc.) figures obtained from other trusted sources should be used rather than those from this questionnaire (where they are available).
3.2 The questionnaire does provide a valid source of information as to residents’ opinions and perceived needs, particularly when the age bias can be accounted for and could be used to support a particular conclusion.
3.3 The conclusions indicate that there are two major information gaps:
a) In obtaining the view from persons younger than 45 and in particular less than 17 years;
b) In obtaining the views of the residents of Chilsworthy Ward.
3.4 Consideration should be given as to how relevant these information gaps are and if considered appropriate to seek methods of filling them: perhaps developing a shorter and simpler series of the important points and canvassing in different ways.
3.5 Also further work should be considered into the need to review and analyse the text entries to questions 29,30,32 and 38 (Appendix A – D) and also the answers given to vehicle related issues. 4.0 Detailed Analysis

Please state locations in Calstock Parish where you consider new homes could be built there appears to be only a few areas available ABOVE (NORTH OF) ALL SAINTS PARK Absolutely nowhere! We are already overcrowded and new houses put a strain on facilities. I don't know why we need all these new houses, no-one can afford them! ALBASTON Albaston ALBASTON ST ANN'S CHAPEL ALBASTON, HARROWBARROW ALBASTON, METHERELL, CALSTOCK, GUNNISLAKE ALBASTON, ST ANN'S CHAPEL All plots of ground which have been bought for development and then had foundations put in place and left until their value increases without any building work having been done. All plots of ground which have been bought for development and then had foundations put in place and left until their value increases without any building work having been done. ALL THE FRINGES OF EXISTING DEVELOPMENT WHILE PRESERVING A GREEN SPACE BEYOND ALL VILLAGES COULD ACCEPT SMALL POCKETS OF DEVELOPMENT ALONG DELAWARE ROAD POSSIBLY DON'T REALLY KNOW Along existing Roads within the 30 mile limits. Historic planning anomalies where parcels of land are protected, and some are not is idiotic. As you go along Calstock Road from Gunnislake, the "plot" next to the consellors house is overgrown, as planning refused, the next plot big Masonic Bungalow, and new lane going in for further development, then another field where planning refused at the Rising Sun, then more building, even a Holiday Cottage, then a massive Water treatment works, all "brown" stuff, but still a massive local opposition to change... unless you know the right people! Development stopped in 1950, and much of what was a horticultural commercial area along the river, and along arterial roads nature has overtaken and reclaimed, and instead of looking at these areas as the places to re-establish development, the council want to see stands of Weed Ash tress designated as being a public amenity! This to me is a total nonsence. They want to protect weed trees for public amenity, but on the same vista, in Devon you have acres of nature destroying Pine forest / plantation. Far too often in the Parish, the strong arm and legal clout of the old Lords and Ladies of the parish still hold sway, in current times through the rules of the Fishing Club replace these people, but interestingly it's the same shareholders, just a different name! They send threats if you try to keep footpaths clear, and object when you clear blockages to footpaths, and instigate long proceedings, using the council to put in place Woodland TPO's on my property to protect there interests, something which is wrong in my opinion. No one, anywhere though, is willing to listen, or do anything, I assume because someone in someones club has had a word!
People fail to understand that without growth shops, schools, Pubs and communities close, and all we are left with is a dormitory for Plymouth. Local Councillors using local press to promote planning victories from 20 years ago, where development was scuppered by what is now admitted was a fraud use of "volunteers" to show additional useage of a park area I think is dreadful. That development may well have made the success of the local school easier to achieve, or provided more tax revenue so the parish council could control invasive weed species on the river bank, or fight the fishing club putting in gates and fences on footpaths to interfere with peoples enjoyment...Maybe..... Along the Callington road ALONG THE MAIN ROAD Along the main roads Particularly St Anns Chapel, Delaware, Drakewalls Along the River, both in the village, and all along the river
Any "brownfield" site such as adjacent to the Redmoor site near Hingston Down quarry. "Brownfield" sites should exclude parts of existing private gardens. ANY BROWN FIELD AREAS any BROWN field site ANY BROWN FIELD SITE ANY INFILL ANY INFILL SITES. BROWNFIELD SITES AFTER SAFETY MEASURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN. SOME SUITABLE GARDENS ANY SENSIBLE LAND THAT WAS AVAILABLE Any site within existing villages should be filled up, near to transport and facilities. Also sites within the existing ribbon development at St Anns Chapel ANY SPACE IN MAIN VILLAGES ANYWHERE IF THERE IS SUITABLE LAND Anywhere where planning permission has already been granted. "Infill" sites. Where derelict buildings are in need of demolition and replacement. Any available brownfield sites. ANYWHERE WITHIN THE AREA Areas on the outskirts of existing villages, some vacant land within villages. AROUND DIMSON AS THE HILLSIDE IS FULL OF HOUSES IT WOULD OUTSIDE OF THE VILLAGE At appropriate locations outside the currently heavily populated centers within the parish Before new builds are considered, derelict buildings and spaces should be utilised by compulsory purchase by the Council.

Any development in these areas should not produce a large % increase to existing properties and should be individually placed around the village and not form a brand new estate at one end. Trouble comes with developers who only want profit - car parking and gardens have no value to them and would rather squeeze in another house. DO NOT BELIEVE INFRASTRUCTURE IS CURRENTLY IN PLACE TO SUPPORT ADDITIONAL HOUSING. POSSIBLE DELAWARE ROAD - CALLINGTON Don't know DONT KNOW - ENOUGH HOUSING ALREADY DONT KNOW - USE COMMON SENSE DONT KNOW AREA WELL ENOUGH DON'T KNOW AREA WELL ENOUGH Don't know. EVERYWHERE FIELD AROUND PARISH CHURCH FIELD AT SUMMERFIELD RISING SUN, HARROWBARROW field next to levy, empty fields around the village FIELD OPPOSITE TRAINER COTTAGES Given the nature of the area and the lack of infrastructure, it would seem wise to develop the main road settlements of Calstock, Gunnislake , St Anns Chapel , Drakewalls etc. Converting disused and closed down buildings first.
Outside of that the small villages and Hamlets are so difficult to access and have so little resources and facilities they cannot take additional traffic and people etc.
The reality is ( Can we get real here instead of politically correct policy?) This area of Cornwall is saturated already. GP services and hospital services are stretched. Schools are stretched. There are no jobs. The economy is poor. The terrain difficult ( it only takes a morning of ice and the hills are so steep cars / lorries and bin men cannot get through without accident. If it snows we can be cut off for weeks. I recall this happening a few years ago.
Add to that , the main industries here are agriculture and tourism related, if you start building houses, you will destroy the fields and you will destroy the tourism which is a mainstay of the area. People do not come on holiday to Cornwall to see houses! They come here to enjoy the fields, the landscape, the wildlife, the peace and quiet. GO UP CHURCH ROAD AND THEN BUILD ANOTHER ROAD BEHIND CHURCH LANE GUNNISLAKE GUNNISLAKE ST ANNS CHAPEL GUNNISLAKE AREA ONLY GUNNISLAKE, DELAWARE HAREWOOD ROAD, CALSTOCK HARROWBARROW Harrowbarrow HARROWBARROW - BOTTOM OF RISING SUN HILL HARROWBARROW - CALLINGTON ROAD, PERFECT SPOT FOR DEVELOPMENT HARROWBARROW - METHERELL HARROWBARROW IN SOME OF THE FIELDS ALSO METHERELL HARROWBARROW, ALBASTON, ST ANN'S CHAPEL, RISING SUN HAVEN'T A CLUE - ROADS NOT GOOD SEWAGE PIPES ARE OLD IN PLACES Having only lived here 9 months we feel unsure where may be best. Higher Calstock HIGHER METHERELL, NEAR CARPENTERS ARMS - PROPERTIES DERELICT FOR 20+ YEARS HINGSTON/WHITE ROCKS HOME PARK TO OKEL TOR AT LEAST 6 BUNGALOWS FROM OLD PEAKLE HOMES AND MOVE TE OLD PEOPLE FROM ROWSE GARDENS AS THEY CANNOT WALK THE HILL I am not too sure of this, but as a general consideration I would suggest sites that have been previously used for industry. I am aware that a lot of this type of land has been used in the past for development and I am not too sure how much of it is left. Certainly there is still a lot of old mining ground still apparent. Perhaps parts of this could be developed. I am aware of potential problems with this sort of development, but there is an awful lot of it around and it does take up quite a lot of land that could be put to use. I CANNOT ANSWER THIS QUESTION I do not know enough about any other villages in parish, other than ?Calstock.. I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY POSSIBLE AREAS AVAILABLE! i do not think they should build more houses without there being any work around here or shops I don't feel able to respond to this question due to lack of knowledge. I don't know Calstock well enough, kind of like how many houses there are now. Most of the fields belong to the farmers etc. I like how quiet it is here. The only place I can think of is where I live, where the population is about 6 people! I DON'T KNOW THE PARISH WELL ENOUGH - YET I feel that new developments should only be allowed with in the designated perimeters of a village and not outside that village's boundaries. I PREFER BROWN FIELD SITES BUT CAN'T THINK OF ANY ROUND HERE I would not recommend any more houses unless draininage was absolutely assured, and the schools could accomodate more children without increasing class size. Plus, there is not much social activity for the elderly to join in on (outside Calstock village). there are disused houses at the far end of St Annes, why do they remain fenced off and not built on? That end of St Annes would be a preferred site for me if any ahs to be built. None however south of the main road, because fo the beautiful view from the road. Identify brownfield sites, derelict or underused houses. The Millenium Green in Albaston IN HARROWBARROW AS IT IS NEARER TO CALLINGTON In harrowbarrow, field to west side of unclassified road south towards Treragin closest to junction of village road with Fullaford Road , suitable for small - not more than 8 houses or bungalows, affordable and local need IN LINE WITH EXISTING LOCAL PLAN IN MY LOCAL AREA MOST SPACES ARE ALREADY BUILT ON in older/disused dwellings. maximise existing buildings. allow barn conversions, change of use into residential. In the obvious places were there are,

Opposed to green fields being built on generally. Steepness of the valley is also a problem. NOT ENOUGH INFRASTRUCTURE I.E.

I NOTICE A GREAT DEAL OF ACTIVITY NOW Not where traffic could be a problem NOT WITH ACCESS ONTO OUR MAIN ROAD AS IT'S AWFUL ALREADY! NOWHERE NOWHERE NOWHERE NOWHERE NOWHERE NOWHERE Nowhere Nowhere - get the areas already designated for housing developed first before considering other areas. NOWHERE - INFRASTRUCTURE CANNOT COPE WITH ANY MORE TRAFFIC GENERATED BY NEW HOUSING NOWHERE - TOO MANY HOUSES HAVE ALREADY BEEN BUILT NOWHERE REALLY Nowhere specific but developments should be small and in keeping with existing housing when adjacent to small villages / hamlets NOWHERE!

ON BROWN FIELD SITES ON BROWN FIELD SITES ON BROWN FIELD SITES ON FRINGE OF EXISTING VILLAGES OR ON UNUSED/DISUSED LAND WITHIN VILLAGE BOUNDARIES On my land off the Calstock road.

NOT THE WHOLE OF THE SITES. On the brown sites the council has identified earlier around Calstock. Mainly above the main village. I really HOPE, that one day we can actually build eco homes around Calstock village in the woods or on a field and that we might have a site for self build low cost eco homes. And that there will be a site where those who wish could live in mobile homes or caravans. On the edge of Calstock any other villages to fill in where the reason for the exisiting building line is now defunct ON THE EDGE OF VILLAGES On the outskirts of Calstock. ONLY A FEW, MAYBE ALBASTON OR INFILL AROUND ST ANN'S CHAPEL only adjacent to villages with a suitable infrastructure - i.e adjacent to main road, provision must be made for increased traffic in an area. ONLY BUILD IF PROPERTIES ARE BEING REUSED OR FOR LOCALS ONLY ONLY IF A NEW HEALTH CENTRE IS PROVIDED IN ST ANN'S CHAPEL ONLY IN AREAS WITH WIDE ROADS (I.E. 2 LANES) AND WHERE THERE ARE FACILITIES FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY, ELDERLY TO MEET, SCHOOL PLACES AVAILABLE AND LOCAL EMPLOYMENT ESPECIALLY FOR SCHOOL LEAVERS/COLLEGE STUDENTS ONLY JUST MOVED IN, NOT FAMILIAR YET!

ANY DEVELOPMENT WOULD HAVE A MINIMAL VISUAL IMPACT ON CALSTOCK AND ITS AONB AND WHS STATUS THE SUITABLE SITES ARE ALREADY IN DEVELOPMENT THERE ARE A FEW SPACES FOR INFILL I SUPPOSE There are fields between developments that would probably be better developed rather than extending the current boundaries of the villages. My biggest concern is the infrastructure that goes with these developments - school places, doctors, accessibility etc where is there for young people? If developments occur we need expansion in other areas to compliment them. THERE MAY BE SEVERAL AREAS FOR SINGLE DEVELOPMENTS BUT I DON'T SEE ANY FOR MULTIPLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS. THIS NEEDS A MAP TO ANNOTATE TO MANY PLACES BEING BUILT AND NOT ENOUGH PARKING TONY JOPES LAND IN CHURCH LANE IS PERFECT OR THE MAIN FIELD BEHIND CHURCH LANE. CALSTOCK DESPERATELY NEEDS NEW AFFORDABLE AND SOCIAL HOUSING TOO TIGHTLY PACKED NOW Top of Chapel Street, Gunnislake. Top of Hoopers Lane, a patch of unused land the houses around it use it to dispose of garden waste Top of Sand Lane at junction parallel to the railway line BUT only if access could be improved into the village itself ie widening the road to 2 lanes down the hill and improving the junction onto the main road at Albaston/Drakewalls TOWARDS CALSTOCK CHURCH TOWARDS CALSTOCK CHURCH Unable to comment UNCERTAIN Uncertain UNKNOWN Unless services and infrastructure are improved, no more building should be considered Unnamed road running east west, south of the railway, from level crossing by Sandways to the road north under the railway. UNSURE unsure Up behind Foster's Meadow UTILISING LAND ON EDGES OF VILLAGES AND WITHIN very few, especially within the valley itself. maybe st. anne's WASTE GROUND we have some "Brown field" sites which should be used first, (some old mine sites that are not part of the Tamar Heritage sites) At the back of All Saints Park etc, Along Delaware Road, near the business estare etc. We recognise the currently defined Calstock village building/development limit and understand that within this area development/building can be applied for. Aside from this, I recommend new home development to be located outside the areas listed in the next question, and particularly along the A390 route.

Appendix B
Please state any areas that you feel should not be developed in Calstock Parish I feel that the existing settlement boundaries are adequate and should be strictly respected (excepting as above).
Any prominent or skyline location. Okeltor, Danescombe, hillside between Lower and Higher Kelly. Hillside west of Sand Lane and above Higher Kelly. 1. the valley itself 2. anywhere where they would spoil the view i.e. on the skyline Adjacent to Cully Park AGRICULTURAL LAND AGRICULTURAL LAND ALBASTON AS AREA IS ALREADY A VERY FAST AND DANGEROUS THROUGH ROAD WITH A DANGEROUS JUNCTION BY PUB ALBASTON, CALSTOCK ALBASTON, DRAKEWALLS ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL ALONG THE RIVERSIDE ALL AREAS CURRENTLY NOT DEVELOPED ALL OF CALSTOCK PARISH ALL OF IT All of the, See above . The area is saturated. People build houses in gardens in this village and we end up looking like a modern slum development.
Others want to build on Public Footpaths ( seriously, this happened when a neighbour of mine wanted a five bedroom house in his back garden - he wanted to use a well used and narrow public footpath as access to the house ..... Give it a rest. Stop building. There are many houses for sale around here and throughout the parish. Get those occupied first. Then convert the disused shops and other buildings in the towns. Callington , for example is very run down as is Gunnislake and St Anns Chapel. The closed shops and such could be converted . ALL OF THEM ALL OF THEM All Saints Park All Saint's Park estate ALONG ANY NARROW LANES ALONG THE RIVERBANK AND IN LOW LYING FIELDS AMENITY LAND ANY Any area where the impact of building will adversely affect those living adjacent to proposed developments. In particular those areas where current infrastructure cannot support development. Areas where lack of foresight from Developers means plans for additional work simply adds insult to injury. Developers currently active in the Parish need to be kept under control Any area which detracted from the unique views offered over the Tamar valley. ANY AREA WITH LIMITED ACCESS Any areas between villages Any areas susceptible to flooding. ANY AWAY FROM THE ABOVE ANY GREEN AREAS Any green areas any GREEN field site Any green field sites, common land, playing fields, playgrounds, parks, gardens, AONB sites, national parks, moorland, and flood plains. Any greenfield site. Any location that has a direct view of the Tamar Valley. Any location which currently lies within The Tamar valley A.O.N.B. ANY PROMINENT SITE NOT IN VILLAGE ENVELOPES - IN THE AONB AND WORLD HERTIAGE SITE. NO MOBILE HOMES IN AONB Any public open spaces. Any sites that the highways cannot support. Housing developments built with no easy access from main roads cause mayhem for locals with increased traffic, both during construction and after completion. ANY WITHIN HARROWBARROW/METHERELL Anywear were the infrastructure is not suited to an increase in traffic etc, also anywear were the "vistas" of the valley may be impeded, (from any angel!) This is a world Heritage site and it is our duty to keep it such.... ANYWHERE - INFRASTRUCTURE CANNOT COPE Anywhere along the flood plane. ANYWHERE AROUND THE RIVER ANYWHERE IN CALSTOCK VILLAGE ANYWHERE IN THE TAMAR VALLEY ANYWHERE IT WOULD INFRINGE AREAS OF BEAUTY ANYWHERE NEAR FLOOD PLAINS OR WHERE WILDLIFE/NATURE WOULD BE DESTROYED ANYWHERE NEAR THE RIVER OR ON SIDES OF VALLEY ANYWHERE THAT IS CURRENTLY GREEN AND A HAVEN FOR WILDLIFE Anywhere too central or too close to existing properties. Especially if views/lifestyle of existing residents will be negatively affected. ANYWHERE WHICH IS ALREADY WITHIN THE 'AONB' AONB AREA MAIN ROAD TO CALLINGTON IN INSUFFICIENT OFF ROAD PARKING AONB LAND AONB
Any contaminated site AREAS CLOSE TO THE RIVER OR NEAR THE OLDER BUILDING UNLESS THEY CAN TRULY ENHANCE THE CHARACTER OF THOSE BUILDINGS areas of outstanding natural beauty. outside current town outlines. AREAS OF SPECIFIC HISTORICAL INTEREST AND BEAUTY. DON'T RUIN THE COUNTRYSIDE - KEEP IT SAFE IF POSSIBLE AREAS OFF THE MAIN CALLINGTON - TAVISTOCK ROAD IF POSSIBLE AREAS THAT DEGRADE THE AONB DESIGNATION AREAS TOO FAR FROM SCHOOLS FOR PUPILS TO WALK. WHERE INSUFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURE AREAS WHERE ACCESS FROM NARROW ROADS WOULD CREATE ACCIDENTS. AREAS WHERE SERVICES WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO ARRANGE AROUND CALSTOCK VILLAGE, THE HAREWOOD RIDGE AND NORTH OF IT TO GUNNISLAKE Around Kit Hill, this is such a jewl, please keep it that way. As above - villages should retain their identity but villages also need to grow a little. All villages have built up over time with houses added gradually showing different architecture, sizes and finishes. Away from built up areas BANKS OF RIVER TAMAR A LOCATION WITH SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON VIEWS FROM RIVER. HINGSTON DOWN Basically, St Annes area has been over developed in the last few years, especially if the land designated for building and not yet built is considered.
Good farming land The valleys, especially those looking south from the A390

Depends on ammenities Depends on the type and number. Each application should be assessed on its own merits, the significance of the place and the impact of the environment. Developments should not be permitted because there is a small area here or there where a few homes may fit as grabbing green field sites will diminish the beauty and pleasure there is in our Parish area. . ENOUGH DEVELOPMENT ALREADY EVEN IF COULD NAME SUCH AREAS I KNOW ABSOLUTELY NO NOTICE WILL BE TAKEN VIS-A- VIS ST NICHOLAS FIELD Every village should maintain green spaces with separation between villages. No greenfield sites EVERYWHERE EVERYWHERE Everywhere, especially the AONB. Existing amenity spaces such as playgrounds, sports fields,allotments. Woodlands. EXISTING GREEN SPACES OUTSIDE RED LINE Farm land, including land that was once used for the flower and vegetable markets. Old railway land could be put back into the natural environment. Farm land, orchard or established woodlands. FARMLAND Farmland, flood plains, contaminated mine sites. FIELD 19. THIS AREA WOULD BE IDEAL AS A SOLAR FARM FOR THE COMMUNITY.

HERITAGE SITES Hingstone down and Coxpark and calstock I FEEL PEOPLE NEED A PLACE TO LIVE I SEE LITTLE POTENTIAL FOR ANY MULTIPLE DEVELOPMENTS IN MY LOCAL AREA OF DIMSON I think the centre of Calstock is busy enough. i think they should develop jobs in the area If housing areas are allocated within a local plan the question answers itself I think. I'm not sure there are any areas in Calstock that can be developed. Provisions for schooling, health care etc are not in place to support anymore people. IN CALSTOCK VILLAGE IN FRONT OF EXISTING HOUSES THAT CAN SEE THE TAMAR VALLEY/RIVER/BRIDGE IN THE BROWN BELT IN VILLAGES In villages where narrow access is already a congestion problem, ie Calstock, Latchley, Chilsworthy & Gunnislake INNER VILLAGE INSUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE INSUFFICIENT LOCAL KNOWLEDGE Isolated playing fields within the populated areas. These are the only places for children, youths etc. to play safely and without causing disturbance Just no sprawl in general - keep the villages confined to designated areas with decent local 'green belts' around them to preserve, among many other benefits, their identities. KINGSWOOD ROAD KIT HILL Kit Hill, anywhere that can be seen from St Annes Chapel Road looking out toward Plymouth in a southerly direction. LAND ABOVE WHITEROCKS, ST ANN'S LAND AT BRIDGE VIEW NURSERIES AND ANY OTHER LAND THAT WOULD RESULT IN DETRIMENTAL VISUAL IMPACT OR INCREASES IN TRAFFIC ON SEVERELY RESTIRCTED ROADS. THE LAND AT BRIDGEVIEW IS OF A VERY SLOPING NATURE. PREPARATORY WORK ALONE WOULD HAVE AN ENORMOUS NEGATIVE IMPACT ON VISUAL IMPRESSIONS, NOISE POLLUTION ETC. VERY CAREFUL CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ADDING ANY ADDITIONAL BURDEN ON EXISTING VERY NARROW ROADS AND SERVICE. ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE BASED ON ACTUAL NEED NOT GREED. CAN THE NEED BE SATISFIED BY DEVELOPMENTS - BOTH IXISTING AND PLANNED IN SURROUNDING AREAS? LAND AT BRIDGEVIEW NURSERIES BECAUSE CHURCH LANE COULDN'T COPE WITH TRAFFIC Land currently or previously used for business purposes LAND WITHIN AONB BOUNDARY Land within environmental designations, the more designations, the less they should be developed! Additionally no development within EA flood risk areas. I also have a preference for not developing general Woodland areas. Land within environmental designations, the more designations, the less they should be developed! Additionally no development within EA flood risk areas. I also have a preference for not developing general Woodland areas. LEAVED AS IT IS Living as we do in an area of outstanding natural beauty all open spaces should be protected where possible. Recreational grounds eg football field are preferable to campsites. LOWER CALSTOCK Lower Kelly Higher Kelly Any riverside or woodland MAJOR VIEW POINTS E.G.

METHERELL - BAD ACCESS METHERELL HARROWBARROW CALSTOCH NARROW ROADS AND BLIND CORNERS near older properties NEAR SCHOOLS OR PLAYING FIELDS Near to the village centre NEED TO ENSURE INFRASTRUCTURE CAN SUSTAIN MORE DEVELOPMENT - DOCTORS, SCHOOLS ETC. Never on greenfield and/or agricultural or recreational land. New builds should not be built within green spaces between villages. However, some properties are already built outside the designated building line. This makes it nonsense and unfair to refuse permission to build by these existing properties. NEW TO AREA SO NOT SURE No area should be considred until all "Brownfield" sites have been used. NO DEVELOPMENTS LARGER THAN 3 HOMES IN A VILLAGE CENTRE NO ENCROACHMENT ON HINGSTON DOWN. ALONGSIDE SENSITIVE/SEMI WILD HABITAT NO GREENFIELD SITES NO HOUSES ABOVE THE PRESENT BUILDING LINE AT WHITEROCKS NO MORE AT ST ANN'S - SPOILING COUNTRYSIDE NO MORE DEVELOPMENT ANYWHERE NO MORE IN GUNNISLAKE, DELAWARE, ST ANN'S CHAPEL OR DIMSON NO MORE INFILLS IN CALSTOCK TOWN NO SUGGESTIONS NO VILLAGE SHOULD NOW HAVE ANY LARGE DEVELOPMENTS UNTIL INFRASTRUCTURE IS SERIOUSLY LOOKED INTO NONE NONE NONE NONE NONE NOT ALONG RIVERSIDE NOT CLOSE TO WATER.

THE LAND ADJACENT TO CROSS ROADS IN THE VICINITY OF THE FULLAFORD ROAD JCT HARROWBARROW The mine workings areas. St Annes seems to be saturated in housing towrds Drakewalls The River Frontage, areas that would impact on the iconic views up and down the river which incorporate the viaduct, green corridors for wildlife and green spaces between villages / hamlets so they don't merge! Areas that will have an impact on local flooding The Tamar Riverside below any properties that are already there Kit Hill and the wooded area to the north west of the river. The Tamar riverside should be protected. And any sites of particular historic or natural history interest. The Tamar valley should be left unspoilt as an AONB. That means no developments spilling over into it from developed areas. The village playing fields in Gunnislake, both by the primary school and the one near the river. The whole area, sorry but that's how I feel. THERE ARE ONLY FARMERS FIELDS ABOVE CALSTOCK There are too many areas to list. There should not be any wind turbines allowed and any new development should always include additional doctors, schools and health facilities or, if small should need to make a financial payment to enable these services to be able to cope with the new demands placed on them by the development. THIS WILL PROVE DIFFICULT BECAUSE A LARGE MAJORITY OF LAND HAS BEEN MINED AND SO SURVEYROS REPORTS WILL BE NECESSARY IN ALL PARTS To the east of the village off Harewood Rd where there seems to be constant in-fill.

In the remaining fields adjoining the main road in St. Anns Chapel and field next to playing field. within land designation areas WITHIN OR AROUND CALSTOCK VILLAGE WITHIN THE VALLEY AS AN AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY Without a doubt the roads into and within Harrowbarrow , unless widened considerably, militate against any further development in or around the village. Currently the narrowness of the roads, their tortuous nature, the volume and nature of the traffic, are all factors that pose a hazard today - without increasing the volume still further. Add to this the disregard certain people have for the need to exercise more care when driving in the countryside and the current situation is already parlous. The school run through the village and along Callington Road / Fullaford Road is a case in question. woodland way and surrounding area,s gunnislake, WOULD NEED TO REVIEW CASE BY CASE

Those already in existence THOSE ALREADY PRESENT Those around the river Those which offer good public accesses and help provide wildlife habitats THOSE WHICH WE ALREADY HAVE UNKNOWN (ALL AREAS) VILLAGE HALL VILLAGES We feel that it is not what should be preserved as the question. We would like to see all green areas preserved, but recognise that development will inevitably take place and that development should consider the impact on the immediate environment and seek to redevelop brown field sites primarily. WE NEED TO PROTECT WHERE CHILDREN CAN PLAY, OUT BEAUTIFUL TREES, BRICK WORKS AND HERITAGE AREAS. WHAT'S THERE ALREADY Why? This is a guarded question to get the result the council want.
Where is the boundary between Gunnislake, Delaware, St Annes, Albaston, Hatches Green, Latchey and Chilsworthy?
You cant retrospectively sort this out, as you dont like it, by being overly protective of any bits on these road routes that got missed... Wood by clitters mine, the old mine areas behind st annes, the areas by tamar valley centre, the parks in st annes and albaston, any mining heritage /ruins sites woodlands WOODS CALSTOCK TO COTEHELE. DANESCOMBE VALLEY OKEL TOR HINGSTON DOWN Woods etc Would like to preserve green areas but NOT to "preserve a settlement's Identity" WOULD NEED TO REVIEW CASE BY CASE YES SHOULD KEEP SOME GREEN AREAS AS LOOKS NICE FOR THE AREA You've just said...... between villages
Appendix D
What other comments do you have regarding future housing provision 2 STOREY NO HIGHER - ECO WITH REGARD TO LOCAL VENACULAR AND MODERN TWIST A CONCENTRATION ON LOCAL PEOPLE'S REQUIREMENTS RATHER THAN DEVELOPER'S MONEY MAKING ASPIRATIONS BUILDING HOUSES THAT DON'T SERVE A LOCAL NEED A MIXTURE BUT NOT FLATS.
WE HAVE VERY LONG GARDENS AND WOULD LIKE TO MAYBE BUILD A SINGLE STOREY LOG CABIN FOR OUR SON TO LIVE ONE DAY A NEED FOR MORE HOUSES IN CALSTOCK A SMALL SHOP WOULD NEED TO BE BUILT, ROADS WIDENED AND THE SCHOOL MADE BIGGER ABSOLUTE PROMOTION OF SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS LARGE DEVELOPERS SHOULD BE MADE TO PRODUCE CARBON NEUTRAL HOMES. GIVE INCENTIVES FOR INDIVIDUALS TO USE CN SYSTEMS. Access roads need to be adequate and located in the correct place adequate supporrting infrastructure AFFORDABLE HOUSING URGENLY NEEDED FOR 1ST TIME BUYERS, FIND A REASONABLE PRICE AND DESIGN AND BUILD THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, ONCE ON THE LADDER IT IS EASIER TO MOVE TO LARGER ACCOMMODATION AFFORDABLE TO BUY TO ENABLE YOUNG PEOPLE TO REMAIN IN THE PARISH AFFORDABLE, CHILDREN'S PLAY AREAS ALL BUILDS SHOULD BE SUSTAINABLE AND LIMIT DAMAGE/EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT. ECO BUILDINGS ARE THE FUTURE!
ALL PROPERTIES SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO FOOD FROWING AREAS. OUR PROPERTY HAS A LARGE GARDEN WITH RAISED BEDS FOR GROWING VEG SO NO ALLOTMENT IS NEEDED FOR THIS PROPERTY.
ONLY LOCAL DEVELOPERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN THE PARISH TO BUILD NEW HOUSING.
ALL NEW BUILDS SHOULD BE SUSTAINABLE AND INCLUDE SOLAR PV, RAIN-WATER HARVESTING AND EXCELLENT INSULATION. WE HAVE TO PLAN FOR THE FUTURE OTHERWISE OUR CHILDREN WON'T HAVE ONE! All future housing should be fitted out with sustainable energies such as ground heat source, rainwater harvesting, photovoltaic panels, small wind turbines. Housing developments should be small, up to a dozen units, and each hamlet and village in the parish should have this number of units built so there isn't a single vast development anywhere. All proposals should be considered individually ALREADY A LOT OF BUILDING HAS BEEN ALTERED RECENTLY. KEEP THE VILLAGES AS THEY ARE AND BUILD AT CALLINGTON IF FREE.
EXTRA CARS AND TRAFFIC - DELIVERY VANS ETC WILL MAKE THE LANES BUSIER AND MORE DANGEROUS FOR WALKERS, HORSES, DRIVERS. THE AREA WILL CHANGE TO SPOIL THE TAMAR VALLEY AREA OF SPECIAL BEAUTY ALTHOUGH I'M A BIT OF A TRADITIONALIST I'M ALSO IN FAVOUR OF GOOD, WELL- DESIGNED MODERN PROPERTIES SENSITIVE TO THEIR SURROUNDINGS ALWAYS NEED PARKING SPACE FOR DOCTOR/NURSE/AMBULANCE ANY DESIGN Any developments must be in keeping with surrounding area and sympathetic to locality, ie not 20 additional houses in an area of only 50 existing properties. ANY DEVELOPMENTS MUST CATER FOR LOCAL NEED AND THE YOUNG SO THAT THE VILLAGE POPULATIONS BECOME YOUNGER AND THUS PREVENT PENSIONER DOMINATED COMMUNITIES ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS MUST BE TASTEFUL AND THOUGHTFUL ANY HOUSING IN VILLAGE WILL BE BOUGHT OR RENTED BY COMMUTERS ONLY AND NOT BENEFIT THE VILLAGE
THE ROADS AND AMENITY'S IN THE VILLAGE ARE NOT ADEQUATE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT Any new housing should adopt materials that ensure minimum impact on the environment such as suitable insulation Any new housing should incorporate eco friendly systems and structures. any style which fits into its surrounding ARE THERE REALLY SUFFICIENT EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNTIES TO JUSTIFY DEVELOPMENT OTHERWISE THIS WILL INCREASE COMMUNITY AND TRAFFIC JAMS ON INADEQUATE RURAL ROADS As previously mentioned I can't understand why planners don't consider static residential sites as well maintained, properly landscaped with central bulk fuel purchasing and good parking they would be an extremely good and quick resolution for people on a very low budget maybe even with some charges saved as a percentage of the rent or purchase to be held in a high interest account to help consumers move on later? As stated my biggest concern is the infrastructure that goes with these developments - school places, doctors, accessibility etc where is there for young people to gather and socialise? If developments occur we need expansion in other areas to compliment them. AS THERE ARE MANY OLDER PEOPLE LIVING IN LARGE PROPERTIES - MORE FLATS/MAISONETTES/2 BEDROOMED PROPERTIES NEED TO BE BUILT ALLOWING FOR DOWNSIZING ASSUMING DEVELOPMENT AND PROVISION OF HOUSING IS ESSENTIAL, IT SHOULD BE IN SMALL INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENTS (NO MORE THAN 5-10 HOUSES). MORE OF A PROBLEM IS THE CREEPING SUBURBANISATION OF THE VILLAGE WHERE DEVELOPMENT OCCURS. AUTHENTICALLY PLEASING, GOOD DESIGN, GOOD LANDSCAPING BE VERY CAREFUL THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL AREA DON'T RUIN IT WITH YUPPIE BUY TO LETS BETTER TO ALLOW SPACE FOR MORE PEOPLE AND NOT SQUASH ALL IN TOGETHER - ONLY LEADS TO ARGUMENTS BUILD FOR LOCAL PEOPLE PAST AND PRESENT WHERE POSSIBLE NOT HOLIDAY / 2ND HOMES BUILD ONLY FOR LOCALS - NO SECOND HOMES BUILDING BUNGALOWS/SHELTERED ACCOMMODATION MAY ENCOURAGE THE ELDERLY/INFIRM TO MOVE OUT OF HOUSES.
IS IT NOT TIME THE COUNCIL DEDICATED IT'S TIME TO INCREASING/IMPROVING THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE PARISH INSTEAD OF GIVING PERMISSION FOR MORE HOUSING. 49 HOUSES ARE AT PRESENT BEING BUILT IN ST ANN'S CHAPEL. ONLY 7 FOR LOCALS, THE REST OPEN MARKET.
AT LEAST THAT WILL BE 100 PEOPLE, PROBABLY 100 CHILDREN AND 100 CARS.
NO IMPROVEMENTS TO SCHOOLS, ROADS, SEWAGE, PUBLIC TRANSPORT, BUSINESSES. STOP COWTOWING TO THE GOVERNMENT AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THE AREA. Building work on new housing developments should only be allowed after all infrastructure (roads, utilities, etc) have been completed by the developer. Buildings -including houses can add to the beauty of a landscape (think traditional Cornish fishing villages). Even small, closely packed houses do not need to ugly (again think traditional Cornish fishing villages). They do need to be built to modern standards of thermal efficiency but they do NOT need to be all the same. The priority should be to add beauty to the environment (again think traditional Cornish fishing villages) and not focussed on maximising the short term financial returns for the developer and the builder. Beautiful villages have been built in the past and we should continue to enhance the areas with more buildings of beauty which will provide a wide range of lovely homes for future generations. CALSTOCK IS ESPECIALLY WELL SERVED BY ALL THESE AMENITIES WE ARE LIVELY AND GLAD TO SUSTAIN THEM CALSTOCK IS IN AN AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY AND IN A WORLD HERITAGE SITE. IT IS ALSO A TOURIST ATTRACTION AND UNIQUE. ANY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS TO BE TREATED VERY SYMPATHETICALLY AND SHOULD ONLY BE DEVELOPED IF THERE IS SHOWN TO BE AN URGENT NEED. CAN WE SORT OUT TRAFFIC ON SANDHILL, GUNNISLAKE. THIS MEANS LARGE HGV'S AND SPEEDING TRAFFIC. THANK YOU Can't answer these because each development should be based on need and where it is located. 10 houses on Gunnislake playing field is completely different to 10 houses on a field in Albaston where there is a view of Calstock church. The type should be based on need, and as for design…heritage or heritat? Buildings should be of their time, place and requirements - not just cottagey and 'quaint' for the sake of it. How are we going to show future generations that we're imaginative and not living in the past by building 'Cornish cottages' for ever and ever? The design must respect the environment and landscape that it comes from. That does not mean Delabole slate hanging - it is not a vernacular of the Tamar Valley. CAREFUL THOUGHT AND CONSIDERATION Clearly required, but problems of parking, infrastructure and traffic congestion already making themselves felt. Consideration of the services needed by the development should be carefully considered before any new development is permitted COUNCIL/HOUSING ASSOCIATION HOUSES FOR LOCAL WORKING COUPLES TRYING TO SETTLE INSTEAD OF SINGLE MOTHERS RELYING ON PREGNANCY FOR HOUSING PRIORITY. THESE SHOULD REMAIN WITH PARENTS IF AT ALL POSSIBLE DECENT SIZED PROPERTIES NOT CRAMMING INTO DEVELOPMENT Demand appears over-stated. All Saints Park have seen style of property downgraded from original plans but even these "affordable " seem very slow to move Depends on the location and on the specific design, but it is important to encourage good quality sustainable buildings which are well-designed, well-positioned and well-landscaped. DESIGN DEPENDS ON INDIVIDUAL CONTEXT.
CORNWALL'S ECONOMY IS LARGELY BASED ON TOURISM AND RECREATION IN BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS - NO DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO NEGATIVELY AFFECT THIS NATURAL RESOURCE.
ONCE OPEN SPACE WHICH SET THE CONTEXT OF SETTLEMENTS IS LOST IT CAN NEVER BE REPLACED. IT MUST BE PRESERVED TO ASSIST THE TOURIST ECONOMY O THE WHOLE COUNTY. GUESTS AT OUR B&bB COME BECAUSE OF THE CHARACTER AND QUALITY OF THE TAMAR VALLEY. THEY EAT AND DRINK IN LOCAL PUBS/RESTAURANTS AND SPEND IN TOWNS IN THE VICINITY THUS BOOSTING THE ECONOMY. THIS ESSENTIAL CHARACTER OF CORNWALL MUST BE MAINTAINED. DESIGN DEPENDS ON LOCATION
NEED ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDING WATER TREATMENT - ROAD ACCESS - SCHOOLS - HEALTH CARE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY....EMPLOYMENT! DESIGN DEPENDS ON PROPOSAL UNSURE TO WHAT EXACT CALSTOCK PARISH CAN TAKE SIGIFICANT DEVELOPMENT DUE TO INFRASTRUCTURE, ACCESS, AONB, WHS, GEORGRAPHY ETC CONSTRAINTS DESIGNER OK IF SYMPATHETIC AND ECO BUILT.
IT SHOULD MEET THE NEEDS OF EXISTING INHABITANTS AND FAMILIES NO PROPERTY SHOULD BE SOLD AS A SECOND HOME! Developments if designed correctly would be good for the area DO WE HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE PARISH TO SUPPORT MORE HOUSING? Don't build any more housing in the parish.
The traffic is horrendous, cars are parked on the streets. DON'T DO IT DON'T KNOW HOW MANY/WHAT THEY SHOULD BE EACH APPLICATION TO BE JUDGED ON MERITS. UPGRADING OF INFRASTRUCTURE SHOULD BE A PRIORITY. HOUSES FOR LOCAL PEOPLE A PRIORITY. Each development proposal should be considered on its individual merits. EACH HOUSE SHOULD BE LOOKED AT IN TERMS OF STYLE PEOPLE NEED HOUSES, SO CAREFUL CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO WHAT AND WHERE - THEY THEY SHOULD BE BUILT IN MY OPINION. Each proposal should be judged on its individual merits. Please ensure developers lodge the money for any amenity or landscaping agreements before they are allowed to start. eco friendly builds,which blend into there environment. Eco housing is a must. Solar panels, rainwater harvesting. High levels of insulation. ECO VERY IMPORTANT - NEED NOT BE EXPENSIVE ENOUGH AFFORDABLE RENTED AND OWNED HOUSES/FLATS FOR LOCAL PEOPLE Ensure public transport caters for and supports any increase in population. Preserve rural character and quality of Calstock and its position amongst woodland and on the river. Ensure quality to ensure that we are not building tomorrow's slums and every house must have parking ENVIONMENTALLY FRIENDLY - TREE AND HEDGE PRESERVATION. EXCESSIVE BUILDING HAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE IN ALBASTON DRAKEWALLS - BUT NOONE ON HOUSING LIST HAS BENEFITTED.
BUILDING NEW HOUSES WITH A FEW 'AFFORDABLE' HOUSES HAS NOT HELPED HOUSING PROBLEMS. NOONE ON HOUSING LIST CAN AFFORD TO BUY AFFORDABLE HOUSES NOR CAN THEY SAVE AS PAYING EXCESSIVE PRIVATE RENTS AND/OR IN LOW PAID JOBS.
SUBSIDISED RENTING ACCOMMODATION IS NEEDED AND A BAN ON SELLING HOUSING ASSOCIATION PROPERTIES.
LEAVE SOME GREEN FIELD SPACES. THE AREA IS BECOMING A SERIES OF HOUSING ESTATES. PROBLEMS WITH DOCTOR/SHCOOL/DRAINAGE/PARKING CAPACITY.
PARKING IS BECOME A REAL PROBLEM IN ALBASTON/DRAKEWALLS WITH NEW DEVELOPMENT BRING MORE CARS AND NO PARKING SPACES.
THERE HAS BEEN EXCESSIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THIS SMALL HAMLET. MORE PLANNED IN GARDENS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. LAST CONSULTATION SHOWED NOONE IN ALBASTON WANTED MORE HOUSING BUT IT'S BEEN BUILT ANYWAY. MUCH OF IT IS PRIVATELY RENTED TO PEOPLE FROM PLYMOUTH WHO THEN COMMUTE - TRAFFIC PROBLEMS AND A NON-SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO PLANNING DEVELOPMENT. EXISTING HOUSES WITH GARDENS SHOULD HAVE PART OF GARDEN CHANGED INTO PARKING SPACES FOR LOCAL PEOPLE (PRIORITY) Future housing built should be incorporating green energy more which the parish of Calstock is so passionate about. Houses built with solar panels, utilising ground water or run off water for flushing the loos, susatainable materials where possible etc... GET MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR NEEDY PARENTS Get on with something soon!!
Everybody no matter richer or poorer deserves/ aspires to have a home, it's normal and important.
The spin offs are valuable too! GREEN DEVELOPMENTS OF SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS E.G. WOOD AND LOW ENERGY, LOW CARBON HOMES FOR OLDER PEOPLE SO THAT OLDER PEOPLE CAN DOWNSIZE. THERE IS NOWHERE ONE CAN DOWNSIZE TOO. HOMES SHOULD BE AFFODABLE AND FOR LOCAL PEOPLE NOT FOR HOLIDAY LETS HOUSES AND BUNGALOWS HOUSES AND BUNGALOWS HOUSES AND BUNGALOWS HOUSES AND BUNGALOWS HOUSES AND BUNGALOWS
NO DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE ALLOWED THAT CHANGES THE SYTLE OR OVERDEVELOPEMTN THE VILLAGES + NO HOUSING PROVISION FOR REFUGEES - WE NEED TO LOOK AFTER OUR OWN FIRST HOUSES AND FLATS HOUSES FOR VILLAGE FAMILIES NOT FOR AREA OUTSIDE (I HAVE ONLY LIVED HERE FOR 2 MONTHS BUT I KNOW THE AREA WELL. FAMILY HERE IN H/B) HOUSING DESIGN ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS
CALLINGTON HAS POTENTIAL FOR GROWTH HOUSING DEVELOPMENT TO BE BROAD SPECTRUM 2/3/4 BEDROOMS - FAMILIES SUSTAIN VILLAGE LIFE - NOT COUPLES OR OLD PEOPLE. AS THERE IS A NEED FOR MORE HOUSES IN THE PARISH AND SMALL AREAS (LESS THAN 25 PROPERTIES) ARE REQUIRED FOR DEVELOPMENT, IT MUST SURELY BE NECESSARY FOR THE EXISTING BUILDING DEVELOPMENT LINES/AREAS TO BE REVISED AND INCREASED TO CATCH/INCORPORATE SUCH AREAS. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE BUILDING DEVELOPMENT AND LINES/AREAS HAVE NOT BEEN REVISED SINCE 2000 - NOW IS THE TIME FOR SUCH AN UNDERTAKING. Housing provision at an affordable cost should be a critically important facet of the plan, otherwise it is failing most of our young people. HOUSING PROVISION SHOULD BE BROADLY IN KEEPING BUT THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN TOTALLY 'TRADITIONAL' I am sorry but I find I can not answer any of these questions as I have no idea of the size of the site to be developed, 'unsure' would fit every thing after that.
I would like to add that if a planning application is rejected then there should be at least a two or three year wait before any other planning application can be re-admitted for consideration on that site. I BELIEVE THAT FOR MULTIPLE HOMES BROWNFIELD SITES SHOULD BE USED OR REDUNDANT INDUSTRIAL SITES REDEVELOPED I DISAGREE STRONGLY WITH THE RIGHT TO BUY STRATEGY WHEN SO MANY FOLK NEED A HOME TO RENT I do believe we need affordable rented or to buy properties as the private rented market is a mickey take with the prices they charge. People in rented tend to be on minimum wage so have to get Housing Benefit to pay for their rent. The Housing Benefit is actually paying some landlord's mortgage! Its a farce. Build affordable places for people but don't wreck the countryside in the process. I DO NOT BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A FIXED OPINION ON HOUSING SYTLES. THIS SHOULD BE A FREE CHOICE ALLOWING GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE DESIGNS TO PROVIDE THE OWNER WITH LONG TERM SATISFACTION I DO NOT SUPPORT ANY NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN THE PARISH AS THERE IS ALREADY 55 BEING BUILT (MIXED OPEN MARKET AFFORDABLE) PLUS ANOTHER 450 PROPOSED NEAR DRAKEWALLS. ANY MORE DEVELOPMENT AND THE PARISH WILL LOSE ITS IDENTITY AND WILL BECOME ONE LARGE HOUSING AREA TO BE NAMED A NEW TOWN. THE ROAD CANNOT HANDLE ANY MORE AS IT IS AT CAPACITY NOW, ALSO SCHOOLS, EMERGENCY SERVICES, EMPLOYMENT. I DON'T MIND MODERN [DESIGNS] IF IT IS ELEGANT AND SUSTAINABLE I DON'T THINK HOUSES SHOULD BE BUILT WITH PARKING I DON'T THINK IT WILL AFFECT ME OR MY HUSBAND I FEEL THE OUTSIDE OF ALBASTON CEMETERY, GUNNISLAKE CHURCH AND CALSTOCK CHURCH SHOULD ALL BE KEPT WEED FREE, PAVEMENTS CURBS ETC. ALSO ALBASTON CEMETERY (NEW PART) ALL PATHS WEEDED ON EDGES AS GRASS GROWING OVER PATH EDGES i fully support affordable and local needs housing within Harrowbarrow and other parish settlements but these must be strictly proportionate to the settlement size and local needs. i have been instrumental in identifying and procuring an affordable scheme in the village in the past, in consultation with the affordable homes officer of Cornwall council . I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO SMALL (LESS THAN 10) DEVELOPMENT FOR YOUNG LOCAL PEOPLE I think if an estate is to be built, then more space between the properties should be factored in (plus parking for 2 vehicles) so ids can have play time in gardens large enough to swing a cat in!!! If not, with a central play / community focal point again to encourage play safely outside, or somewhere where the elderly can meet up, with a shelter. The reduced house occupancy will be made up with a community spirit, with some self regulation. I THINK SOLAR PANELS SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED.
WOULD LIKE TO SEE SPACE ALLOCATED FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - WHERE LOCAL FAMILIES CAN BUILD
I SUPPORT ALLOTMENTS BUT HAVE ENOUGH TO MANAGE MY GARDEN I THINK THAT DEVELOPMENT IS NECESSARY - AS LONG AS IT IS IN KEEPING WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA I think villages should be preserved and contained - their nature is completely different to that of a town - and they have far fewer amenities - especially for the unemployed. We do not want to build potential slums in fields by overcrowding developments. The country lanes are being destroyed - brown site development and refurbishment is the only way to preserve our countryside. I think we should be open-minded whilst considering the importance of design, location and the need for housing I THINK WE SHOULD MORE HOUSES BUILT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AFFORDABLE HOUSES. £120,000 FOR LOCAL NEED ONLY. OUR YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE TO MOVE AWAY AS THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO LIVE HERE. I WOULD NOT LIKE TO SEE THE CHARACTER OF THE VILLAGES CHANGED BY LARGE DEVELOPMENTS I would prefer the properties to be made available to local people who wish to stay in the area, especially if their families live locally. Also to be affordable, not luxury homes or second homes for the owners to use for profit. If Garages are to be provided for a dwelling they should stay as a garage and not be permitted to be developed in to another dwelling. IF MORE HOUSING WAS TO BE BUILT IN HARROWBARROW AND METHERELL A FOOTPATH BETWEEN THE TWO VILLAGES WOULD BE A PRIORITY IF ONE CONSIDERS THESE SURVEYS SENT OUT TO ALL NEIGHBOURING VILLAGES E.G. ALBASTON, ST ANN'S, CHILSWORTHY ETC AND EACH OF THESE VILLAGES SAID 50 HOMMES EACH. 10 VILLAGES = 500 HOMES - 500 CARS 2000 PEOPLE ROUGHLY IN ALL - 500 EXTRA CARS TAKING THE CALLINGTON ROAD INTO TAVISTOCK APART FROM THE NEW ESTATE NEXT TO THE RAILWAY LINE. ABSOLUTE CHAOS. I KNOW MORE HOMES ARE NEEDED BUT LET THE INNER CITIES WITH BROWN SITES ACCOMMODATE THE NEW BUILDING. LEAVE OUR VILLAGES AS THEY ARE. I LIVED IN CALSTOCK AT 18 AND IT WAS PERFECT. THE ROADS WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE. IF THE ELDERLY 'DOWNSIZED' MANY LARGER HOUSES WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE TO ACCOMMODATE FAMILIES...THE 'BABY BOOM' GENERATION WILL REACH 70 NEXT YEAR Immediate housing needs must be met but access is critical unless the whole village risks becoming impossible to drive to and through. Impossible to comment on density question as so much depends on size of plot Also style of house also depends so much on surroundings IN HAMLET - NO MORE THAN 10 IN VILLAGE - NO MORE THAN 25 ON MAIN ROAD - NO MORE THAN 100
A MIXTURE OF STYLES, DEPENDING ON LOCATION. WE NEED TO ALLOW SOME ONNOVATION BUT MAINTAIN THE 'CHARACTER' OF THE VILLAGES In LCC - not estates - buildings should be individual houses mainly in Chilsworthy & Latchley Coxpark - mainly bungalows
Styles - I would love to see some modern designer houses - I do dislike various developers attempts to look like traditional Cornish Cottage - generally fails very badly. Designed only to be cheap & quick to build! IN THIS AREA OF ST ANN'S CHAPEL. SUFFICIENT NEW BUILD HAS BEEN MADE. GREED SHOULD BE STOPPED Individual applications need to be looked at Infrastructure needs to be carefully considered. It's no good building loads of properties if the roads cannot cope with extra traffic, or if public transport is not improved , or if there are not enough schools GP surgeries, employment opportunities, facilities to accommodate the growth in population. Second homes should be carefully monitored if not prevented. If there is nowhere provided to give people a reason or the ability to walk too and from, they give up being sociable and stop caring for their environment IS THERE AN ACTUAL NEED WHEN FACILITIES ARE POOR, TRANSPORT NON- EXISTENT AND NO JOBS IN LOCAL AREA.
THE LOCAL FARMERS SHOULD BE GIVEN GRIT/SALT AND PAID TO GRIT THE LOCAL VILLAGE ROADS IN THE EVENT OF A BAD, ICY WINTER. TO PREVENT THE CHAOS OF 2-3 YEARS AGO It is accepted that there is a need for more housing, However, it is folly in a rural area to plan any such development unless the infrastructure is in place to accept it. In particular serious consideration has to be given to accessibility, the nature of the roads that currently exist (many of which have never been widened to accept the coaches, lorries and agricultural traffic that abound today) and the availability of school places and patient/doctor ratio. Failure to recognise the problems villages face today without compounding them further must be uppermost in the planners minds. IT WOULD BE NICE IF VILLAGES WERE NOT FORCED INTO BEING A RIBBON DEVELOPMENT TOWARDS TOWNS. THAT IS NOT ENVIRONMENTALLY HEALTHY.
SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS CANNOT BE ANSWERED PROPERLY, E.G. ALLOTMENT - I HAVE A LARGE ENOUGH GARDEN NOT TO NEED AN ALLOTMENT SO MY PERSONAL ANSWER IS NO. HOWEVER, I WROTE YES AS I WOULD IF I NEEDED TO. NO 33 IS ALSO NOT EASY TO ANSWER. NO 13 IS A TAD AMBIGUOUS. ITS IMPACT ON EXISTING SERVICES I.E. SCHOOLS, GP'S ETC. Jobs come before houses: the important aspect is that jobs must come first, otherwise Gunnisalke will end up just being a rural satellite with even more traffic movements than we have now. Just need more housing, maybe a retirment complex so elderly can move out of large house. KEEP IT SMALL I.E. LESS THAN NO MORE THAN 10
CAN WE HAVE TRAFFIC MEASURES ON SANDHILL, GUNNISLAKE. THIS BECAUSE OF PEDESTRIAN'S HAVE HAD NEAR MISS WITH SPEEDING TRAFFIC! living in woodland way gunnislake I see elderly people in bungalow on steep slopes and struggle in winter ith icey conditions they should be on the level , MAKE MORE EFFORT TO GET EMPTY HOUSING OCCUPIED MAKE USE OF AN ABANDONED DERELICT HOMES IN PARISH BY COMPULSORY PURCHASE MIXED DEVELOPMENT HELP ALL SECTIONS OF THE COMMUNITY - YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE MIXED STYLE. NO MORE THAN 6 IN THE VILLAGE.
PUT AS MANY HOUSES AS YOU LIKE ADJACENT IAN JONES DEVELOPMENT ABOVE PRINCE OF WALES - ONLY SMALL SPORADIC DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN VILLAGES. THIS IS THE WAY THEY GREW ORIGINALLY MIXTURE OF BUNGALOWS AND FLATS MIXTURE OF FLATS AND HOUSES MIXTURE OF HOUSES AND BUNGALOWS.
THE DOCTORS ARE ALREADY VERY BUSY AND DIFFICULT TO GET HOLD OF IF BRINGING MORE PEOPLE INTO AREA THEN MORE SUPPORT IS NEEDED FOR DOCTORS MIXTURE OF HOUSES AND FLAT NEED MORE HOUSING A.S.A.P. MIXTURE OF HOUSES AND FLATS STYLE DEPENDS ON WHERE DEVELOPMENT IS THE IMPACT ON EXISTING PROPERTIES I.E. VIEW, PRIVACY, INFRASTRUCTURE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED MORE AFFORDABLE HOMES NEED TO BE BUILT SO THAT LOCAL RESIDENTS DO NOT HAVE TO MOVE OUT OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO OLDER PEOPLE WISHING TO DOWNSIZE. MORE AFFORDABLE OPEN MARKET HOUSING MORE ECO-FRIENDLY HOUSES SHOULD BE BUILT, TRIPLE GLAZING, SOLAR PANELS, INSULATED MUST BE KEPT FOR LOCAL NEEDS MUST HAVE PARKING FOR VISITORS AND TURNING SPACES MUST HAVE SUFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURE NEED EFFECTIVE CONTROL OF 2ND HOMES AND PRIORITY GIVEN TO LOCAL PEOPLE. THEY MUST BE GOOD QUALITY BUILDINGS THAT ORDINARY PEOPLE CAN AFFORD TO BUY OR RENT.
HOUSING IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DEMANDS OF OUR TIME. WHATEVER THE COUNCIL DOES OR WANTS TO DO IT WILL BE CONSTRAINED BY RIGHT WING GOVERNMENT POLICIES I.E. SELL OFF COUNCIL HOUSES AND HOUSING ASSOCIATE PROPERTIES. UNLESS THERE IS A HUGH INVESTMENT IN HOUSING FOR ORDINARY PEOPLE THE PROBLEM WILL SIMPLY GET WORSE. NEED MORE 1 BEDROOM BUNGALOWS BY COUNCIL NEED OTHER LINKS - TRANSPORT/SCHOOLS/DOCTORS ETC. NEED PAVEMENTS ON ALL ACCESS ROADS. MAIN HILL NEEDS TREES CUT FROM HEDGES SO NOT DRIVING INTO DARK TUNNEL Need to avoid the bland identical featureless boxes that are typically being built these days. It is not impossible to create modern houses with some features or character built on - stone facing, different shapes, different roof lines, window shapes etc. It is always disappointing to see new estates tacked on to older villages and towns with no regard to how they blend in. needs to address local housing needs New affordable homes need to be built to allow young people to get on the property ladder and live independently. These new homes should be cheap to run and maintain. I would not like to see any new development sold to non locals as second homes. NEW DEVELOPMENTS SHOULD NOT OVERWHELM EXISTING BUILDINGS.
THE QUESTION OF MORE STREET LIGHTING IN HARROWBARROW SHOULD BE ADDRESSED NEW HOUSING SHOULD BE BASED ON NEED NOT PROFIT FOR INDIVIDUALS OR DEVELOPERS NIL NO DEVELOPMENT NO DEVELOPMENT IN THE PARISH - DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE NEXT TO TOWNS NOT VILLAGES NO LARGE ESTATES NO MORE - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH NO MORE IN ST ANNS CHAPEL PLEASE. ITS NOT THE ONLY PART OF CALSTOCK PARISH. NO MORE PEBBLE DASH! HOMES THAT ARE WELL-DESIGNED, ENERGY EFFICIENT, APPROPRIATE TO NEEDS OF OCCUPANTS, WITH GARDENS. NONE None None along the Gunnislake to Callington road, which is already carrying far too much traffic, especially totally inappropriate heavy goods vehicles, which have no place on this road and which are steadily destroying Gunnislake New Bridge. The road is simply not adequate to cope with any increases in local traffic. NONE IF INFRASTRUCTURE I.E. DOCTORS, BUS, SCHOOLS, PO, SHOPS ARE IN PLACE None We have not been here long enough to comment. NONE
INCREASE CALLINGTON/LISKEARD BUT NOT THE VILLAGES Not against a mix, but not designer as this puts price up too much. NOT ENOUGH BUNGALOWS FOR THE ELDERLY NOT ENOUGH IS DONE FOR THE YOUNGSTERS WHO WANT TO STAY IN THE AREA. I SAY THEY SHOULD HAVE PRIORITY.
MOST FAMILIES HAVE 2 CARS THERE SHOULD BE PARKING FOR AT LEAST 2 + A VISITOR AND GARAGES SHOULD BE MADE BIG ENOUGH TO GET CARS IN AND BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF IT NOT FLATS
LIVING WITH OUR HOUSE BACKING ONTO MAIN ROAD, THE SPEED OF CARS, MOTORBIKES IS A MAJOR CONCERN. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED - AVERAGE SPEED CAMERAS LIKE ST MELLION AS I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS WORSE HERE, OR SOMETHING TO MAKE PEOPLE DRIVE AT THE LIMIT NOT TO HAVE MASSIVE GREAT HOUSES BUILT BEHIND YOU AND CAN LOOK INTO YOUR GARDEN/HOUSE AS WE HAVE KEEP IT LOWER - 2 PEOPLE DON'T NEED A GREAT BIG HOUSE NOT TO OVERCROWD OR BUILD IN AREAS OF NATURAL BEAUTY NOT TO TURN VILLAGES INTO SMALL TOWNS
OWNERS/OCCUPIERS WHO ALLOW THEIR HEDGES AND TREES TO GROW OUT INTO THE HIGHWAY - AND IN SOME CASES OVERHANGING BUILDINGS OPPOSITE SHOULD BE WARNED AND WHERE POSSIBLE ORDERED TO CUT BACK TO THEIR PROPERTY.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY IN THE VILLAGES AND NARROW LANES Nothing ostentatious. ONLY BUILDING WHERE JOBS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE AREA AND SMALL DEVELOPMENTS Only one house should be developed [what would be your preferred size of development] OWNERSHIP BRIMS RESPONSIBILITY AND THAT USUALLY MEANS THAT PROPERTY AND GARDENS ARE LOOKED AFTER Parishioners in the immediate area around a proposed site should be carefully involved in the planning so that they have a say and feel a part of the outcome, which will help the intergration of the newcomers into the community.
Once planning approved keep to the plans, some recent developments locally have been altered afterwards to the detriment of local people.
Ensure roads are adequate for the increased traffic, and review public transport links so new builds catered for. PARKING MUST BE OFF MAIN ROAD PLANNING PERMISSION FOR LOCAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVED IN THE VILLAGE FOR YEARS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT AGES WHEN NOW PEOPLE CAN MOVE IN AND GET IT STRAIGHT AWAY. MAKES PEOPLE VERY ANGRY. PREFERRED SIZE OF DEVELOPMENT - DEPENDS ON THE SIZE OF THE DEVELOPMENT PLOT TO BE USED
NOT DESIGNER STYLE PRIORITY FOR LOCAL FARMERS AND MORE OLDER PEOPLE INTO SMALLER HOMES PROPOSALS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS
DEPENDS ON SIZE OF PLOT AND LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE AS TO THE NUMBER OF HOUSES BUILT PROVISION SHOULD BE MADE FOR FIRST TIME BUYERS AND THOSE ALREADY DOMICILED IN PARISH BUT UNABLE TO AFFORD A HOME ON OWN, EPSCIALLY YOUNG MARRIED - NOT SINGLE PARENT. PROVISION SHOULD BE MADE TO ENSURE WORK IS PROVIDED FOR LOCAL PEOPLE TO STAY IN VILLAGES QUESTIONABLE AMENITIES IN THIS AREA Really, we do not need them ( and forget calling me a NIMBY - I am not. I am a realist). Building houses in gardens or putting two on a plot where one once existed or worse,creating a house where there was a bungalow, just creates modern slum living. They look like slums and within a very few years, such houses are slums ( and cannot be sold .... so some enterprising ( aka money grabbing) builder knocks it all down and builds more... its a waste of resources.).
There have been developments like this already in the area ( one in a garden just up the road from me and its frankly poor planning allowing this in areas of historical interest and outstanding beauty) . There are more than enough hosues on the market , not being bought and its not cost. These houses in my village range from a little over £90K to around £400K .
More development is not needed. Building on green sites leads to flooding of roads ( no soak aways . We do not have sewerage systems to take the water ( or additional housing ). We do not have hospital and GP facilities ( try getting an appointment at the local surgery here - you will die first.... and then treatment is hit and miss) We dont even have good enough rubbish collections. No Busses, no transport .... and someone wants more houses to put more pressure on that? Stop being precious and stop insulting the reasonable and logical by calling them NIMBY. Rented council bungalow Save our green spaces and keep future development small and in keeping SCHOOL, DR SURGERY NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE ANY POPULATION INCREASE.
I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE ALREADY MANY EMPTY PROPERTIES IN THE AREA - SOME QUITE DERELICT. THESE SHOULD BE USED BEFORE NEW HOMES ARE BUILT SENSIBLE. NO SHOE BOXES. MUST HAVE GARDENS/PARKING AND ENVIRONMENTALLY AWARE. SHOULD BE BUILT ON BROWN SITES AND NOT GREEN FIELDS SHOULD BE TASTEFUL AND DESIGNED WITH CARE Should meet local needs in the first instance. The adequacy of existing utilities and amenities is of vital importance. SHOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT DOCTORS SURGERY SIZE OF DEVELOPMENT DEPENDS ON PLOT AND SUPPORTING FACILITIES INCLUDED IN DEVELOPMENT SUCH AS PLAY AREAS, PARKING, INFRASTRUCTURE, PLANTING AND MORE.
THE STYLE SHOULD BE IN KEEPING WITH THE SURROUNDING HOMES AND SHOULD HAVE PROPER GARDENS AND ENJOY VIEWS.
I DO NOT BELIEVE ANY DEVELOPER SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO CRAM HOUSES IN. EACH SHOULD HAVE GARDEN, PARKING AND SPACE. WITH PROVISION FOR PLAY AREAS, PLANTING AND WHERE POSSIBLE TO FACE THE VIEW. A HOUSING DEVELOPMENT WHICH ALREADY EXISTS IN GUNNISLAKE COULD FACE THE VALLEY INSTEAD JUST THE BATHROOMS DO - WHY?
AMENITIES - SHOULDN'T ANY DEVELOPMENT HAVE ALL OF THESE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE? SIZE OF DEVELOPMENT: DEPENDENT OF PLOT SIZES, MORE GARDEN SPACE REQUIRED AND ON A NEED ONLY BASIS
MIXTURE OF HOUSES AND BUNGALOWS.
COMMUNITY HALL - ADEQUATE HEALTH AND SCHOOL FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE INCREASED TO COPE SIZE OF DEVELOPMENT: DEPENDS ON HOW IT IS DEVELOPED - WOULD A SHOP ETC BE INVOLVED TO CREATE LOCAL WORK?
TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT: PRINCE CHARLES SCHEMES SHOULD SERIOUSLY BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION
HOUSING SHOULD BE MADE FOR LOCAL COMMUNITY AND NOT JUST TO HOUSE AN INFLUX OF OUTSIDERS LOOKING FOR BETTER LIVING.
SEASONAL WORK AND STYLE OF WORK IN THE LOCAL AREA SHOULD BE A MAJOR DECISION ON WHAT IS REQUIRED.
OTHER AREAS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS IN UNUSED WASTELAND OR COUNCIL GROUNDS - NO MORE DEVELOPING MUCH NEEDED FARMLAND. NO FARMS = NO FOOD! SMALL BUNGALOWS WOULD ENABLE ELDERLY PEOPLE TO MOVE AND FREE UP LARGER PROPERTIES. THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE NICE ENOUGH TO TEMPT THEM TO MOVE THOUGH. SMALLER PROPERTIES TO ENABLE PEOPLE TO DOWN SIZE. A CENTRAL POINT WHERE PEOPLE CAN REGISTER THEIR WILLINGNESS TO RE-SIZE. SOCIAL RENTED TO BE FOR PARISH RESIDENTS ONLY OR IF BORN IN PARISH SORRY I'VE NOT BEEN PRECISE WITH SOME AREAS. AT MY AGE - ALMOST 90- IT'S DIFFICULT TO PLAN FAR AHEAD SPACIAL AND PARKING CONSIDERATIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. ALSO IF LOCAL AMENITIES CAN PROVIDE FOR INCREASE. SPECIFIC UNITS FOR OVER 50'S? SPECIFIC UNITS FOR YOUNG FAMILIES, WHO WANT TO STAY IN THE PARISH AND WORK IN THE AREA. STOP BUILDING 3,4,5 BEDROOMS AND STICK TO TWO BEDS ON AFFORDABLE SO MANY EMPTY LARGE PROPERTIES Stop developers building for profit without due consideration to the needs of relocated families Mindful of developments without the infrastructure to support especially local transport (not everyone has a car) STOP PEOPLE FROM HAVING MORE THAN ONE HOME Street lighting is a menace, ugly and costly to run. It should be minimised on new developments and reduced or eliminated on existing. Strongly against provision of holiday housing units. Strongly against provision of holiday housing units. Style depends on situation Style of housing - a mixture depending on location. We do need to encourage innovative design particularly those that are energy efficient and use building materials in different ways (e.g. those using materials normally found on agricultural or office buildings, can be very energy efficient, more affordable and can sit well in the landscape provided they are well designed. STYLE OF HOUSING DEPENDS WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT IS STYLE WOULD DEPEND ON LOCATION.
HOUSING NEEDS TO BE MATCHED WITH INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH IS ALREADY POOR STYLES DEPEND ON WHERE BY ALL MUST HAVE FACILITY TO PARK IN GARAGE OR SURFACE SUFFICIENT HOUSING FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE AND ELDERLY PEOPLE That the council would be open minded to the growing need and desire to live an ecological life style. That we could buy cheap building plots and build a home of our choice, not restricted by silly guidelines that decide that if you live in a low cost home you don't need much space??? or that all houses must look the same. It would be great if there were small homes for young single people or those who choose to live alone with affordable rents. THE AREA CANNOT COPE NOW, SCHOOL ARE FULL, DOCTORS ALSO. NO MORE HOUSES!!! The developments should be small with off road parking. THE FLATS ABOVE LEVINES ARE DISGRACEFUL. THEY HAVE MANY DRUG USERS AND I BELIEVE THEM TO BE THEIVING IN THE VILLAGE. THIS IS BAD HOUSING. The needs of the every growing number of single parent families should be planned for. The Parish has an ageing population and there is a need for bungalows. THE PARISH LIES WITHIN AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY - NO MORE DEVELOPMENT THE PARISH SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GROW WITH CONSIDERABLE LEVELS OF DEVELOPMENT. NOT AN EXPLOSION THAT SERVICES CANNOT SUPPORT THE PLANNING SYSTEM DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE SPECIFICATION OF MINIMUM PARKING STANDARDS. HOUSING CAN'T BE DEVELOPED IN ISOLATION - IT REQUIRES SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE (PLAY AREAS ETC.) The population isn't increasing. Houses aren't being demolished. Everyone isn't moving to Cornwall. Just curious, why do we actually need more housing, apart from to generate work/business? THE USE OF HOUSES THAT HAVE BEEN DERELICT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME SHOULD BE BROUGHT BACK INTO USE THERE ARE PLENTY OF SMALL PARCELS OF LAND THAT ARE JUST LEFT TO ROT THAT COULD BE USED IF IN THE RIGHT AREA. DISCOURAGE 2ND HOMES There are some second homes in Calstock which contribute little socially or economically to the community. I realise it is difficult to control this but would support the Parish council encouraging the maximum possible sanctions through the council tax to minimise it. The number of buy to let homes in Calstock I feel has contributed to raising local house prices and led to local buyers being priced out of the town. That's not a problem if there is enough extra social housing provision through Local Authority or housing associations or enough affordable homes built. I would support the restricting of the sales of these homes to non buy to let landlords or holiday homes or holiday lets. I would also like planning ease on holiday lets in the Parish changing their use to dwellings with the appropriate upgrading to meet modern building regulations. There are also some unused often derilict old industrial and horticultural sites in the parish which would be appropriate to allow small or individual housing projects. However I would not support the building of homes on industrial or horticultural sites which could easily be used as a business to provide local employment. THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA AND SO MUCH MORE IS PROPOSED, I FEEL THE AREA WILL BECOME ONE LARGE BUILDING SITE, WITH NO INCREASED INFRASTRUCTURE, NO EXTRA JOBS, SCHOOLS OR GP CAPACITY. UTTER MADNIESS IN THIS RURAL SETTING THERE IS A GREAT LACK OF SHELTERED HOUSING FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE LIKE US THERE IS ALREADY A PROBLEM PROVIDING ADEQUATE FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE CURRENT POPULATION.
HOW ABOUT MAKING REPRESENTATIONS TO BURY POWER AND TELEPHONE CABLES? PRESENT ARRANGEMENT OF OVERHEAD CABLES IS UNSIGHTLY AND ON OCCASIONS DANGEROUS THERE MUCH BE AMENITIES NO WIND TURBINES!!! There should be a consistent approach to all development so developers and councils know what is acceptable. THESE ARE NOT QUESTIONS FOR THE LAY PERSON. SURELY THE COUNCIL SHOULD RELY ON THE ADVICE OF THEIR EXPERTS? THEY MUST BE ON BROWN FIELD SITES NOT OPEN COUNTRYSIDE They must have additional S.T.W. capacity, parking, solar energy and community support services i.e. GP, Bus etc. they seem to be building houses around st anns chaple but they have not got the infrastructure in place and all the people here have to go out of st annes for work This area is totally unsuitable for development. Perhaps a few dwellings on Harewood Road THIS POPULATION IS AGEING TO BE KEPT TO AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM To make sure that schools, public transport and other facilities are adequate for the development too many inappropriate dwellings have been authorised in our area in recent years which has resulted in urbanisation of our area such as the flats opposite Pearces and the caravan park below central motors. both these developments represent the worst possible "improvements" to our parish. Too many "estates" leading to "micro-communities" within the area TOO MANY HOUSES WILL SPOIL THE VILLAGES COMMUNITY Tread lightly on this earth please.
Development should be as unobtrusive as possible, as green as possible, and as sustainable as possible. Why try and copy what is there already?? We are not a theme park, and what style should we copy? The doey eyed Poldark vision, or the 70's bungalow, or the Victorian Terrace, all have a place in our history, it's about time we started to make a new history for ourselves. Try to keep original large trees in small green areas or gardens. Try wherever possible to use " Brownfield Sites " UPGRADE ABANDONED DWELLINGS, USE BROWN FIELD SITES. USE EMPTY HOUSES AND CONVERT BARNS USE EXISTING BUILDINGS VARIOUS SITES IN ST ANNS CHAPEL I HAVE HAD PP GRANDTED BU HAVE NOT BEEN BUILT. ONE WAS FOR 129 NEW HOMES APPROX. THAT WAS GRANTED MANY YEARS AGO SUBJECT TO SEWAGE BEING SORTED OUT. COULD NOT THIS SITE BE REVISITED AND DISCUSSED WITH THE OWNER OF THE LAND, IDEAL OPPORTUNITY FOR A ROUNDABOUT AND TRAFFIC CALMING AS THE LAND IS OPPOSITE BLADES THE HAIR DRESSER. ALSO IT WOULD DELIVER A LARGE NUMBER OF HOMES IN A VERY ACCESSIBLE SITUATION. DID NOT ALL THIS CONSULTATION START IN 2011. I REMEMBER ATTENDING CONSULTATIONS AND WRITING REPORTS. I THOUGH SELLICK HOMES WERE PARK OF THE ALLOCATION. HOMES WERE BUILT IN DRAKEWALLS. HOME WERE BUILT ON FOSTERS CORNER. DEVELOPERS BUILDING HOUSES ANYWHERE SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PARKING. THIS COULD ACTUALLY BE UNDER THE HOUSE OR A GARAGE/PARKING SPACE ON GROUND FLOOR WITH LIVING ABOVE. THIS IS BETTER WHEN ONLY THE VEHICLES/VEHICLE OF THE PERSON ABOVE IS INVOLVED. I.E. NOT COACH HOUSES. GARDENS SHOULD BE PROVIDED WITH ALL PROPERTIES - EVEN IF THE GARDEN IS COMMUNAL. OUTSIDE SPACE IS NECESSARY FOR EMOTIONAL WELL BEING. THOSE HAVING TO LIVE IN BLOCKS OF FLATS CAN BECOME DEPRESSED AND TROUBLESOME.
WE HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF OLDER AND RETIRED PEOPLE IN THE PARISH. AN OAP SAY OVER 60'S SETTLEMENT. NOT CARE HOME COULD BE A GOOD ASSET. THERE IS NOWHERE LIKE THIS NEAR HERE. SOME OF THOSE WHO OWN, CANNOT MOVE, SIMPLY BECAUSE OLDER CITIZENS THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING APPROPRIATE TO THEIR NEEDS. I AM NOT REFERRING TO CARE HOMES - MORE OF 1 BED BUNGALOWS OF A DECENT SIZE WITH GARDENS, GARAGE THAT CAN BE PURCHASED BUT WHERE ALL THE PEOPLE ARE MUCH THE SAME AGE. WHERE TO PUT IT IS THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION.
MOST ADULTS WHO LIVE IN THE COUNTRY HAVE CARS IN ORDER TO GET TO WERHE THEY NEED TO GO - WHEN THEY NEED TO GO. HENCE ONCE SOMEONE REACHES 18 THEY ARE TYRING TO GET A CAR.
NO HEDGEROWS TO BE CUT DOWN WHEN CREATING NEW BUILDING SITES FOR NEW HOMES - SEE SELLICK SITE IN ST ANN'S CHAPEL VERY DIFFICULT, WE LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND WANT IT TO REMAIN A RURAL AREA. IF WE WANTED TO LIVE IN A CONURBATION WE WOULDN'T BE HERE. PLEASE KEEP US RURAL AND DON'T SPOIL THIS LOVELY AREA VILLAGE ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES AND SEWERAGE WOULD REQUIRE MAJOR INVESTMENT IN A VERY CROWDED AREA NOT SURE THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE WE ARE IN A HOUSING SHORTAGE IN THE UK SO RESPONSES HAVE TO BE BALANCED REF LISTENING TO INDIVIDUALS AND WHAT IS NEEDED. I FEEL SAD THAT YOUNG PEOPLE BORN IN DEVON AND CORNWALL OFTEN HAVE TO MOVE UP COUNTRY OR HOUSE PRICES PUSH THEM OUT OF THE HOUSING MARKING We do not want everything the same. Designer houses should not be in estates but on there own or in small developments. We live in such a lovely area and we don't want it spoilt but the kids need to live somewhere and they have no chance as no affordables available WE NEED MORE RENTED PROPERTIES FOR LOCAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVED IN THE PARISH ALL THEIR LIVES BUT HAVE TO MOVE OUT AS NO AFFORDABLE LOW RENTED PROPERTIES AVAILABLE We should not just look to imitate the past in housing design. Houses should be built to modern standards and to energy saving design. We should not live in the past, but we should be sympathetic to the area to be developed, and insure we develop a community feel as we build. What is 'affordable', there seems to be no definition, all it seems to do is stifle development, WHERE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IS TO BE BUILT PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL ARE TO BE OCCUPIED BY PEOPLE ALREADY LIVING OR WORKING IN THE PARISH. THIS WAS NOT SO IN LONGACRE, HARROWBARROW. Young people need to have opportunities to buy their own houses or to rent at affordable rates. As existing residents we can't close our eyes to this fact however the Parish Council needs to retain the integrity and fabric of this beautiful area. Its a fact that no one wants new development in their area but life goes on and we must look to the future for our children to enjoy what we do.
