It presents the Vision and Objectives for the area over the NDP period to 2030 and presents planning policies which seek to enable delivery of this Vision and these Objectives. This document is supported by a number of other documents and background information which are referred to throughout. These supporting documents can be accessed at www.foweysfuture.co.uk A glossary section is included at the back of this document for reference (Section 14). Neighbourhood Planning builds on the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the Cornwall Local Plan: Strategic Policies Development Plan Document (Local Plan), to give an extra level of detail at the local level. The Fowey parish NDP has been developed to ensure that future growth and development throughout the Parish is guided by the local community. Fowey Parish NDP runs in tandem with the Local Plan, which runs to 2030. It is appropriate that it should have the same end period and therefore it will be reviewed and updated in 2030. The Town Council may however deem it necessary to update the NDP at an earlier date if circumstances warrant any earlier review. Fowey Parish NDP applies to the entire parish covered by Fowey Town Council (as shown in Figure 1). Fowey Parish is situated on the south east coast of Cornwall and is part of the St Blazey, Fowey and Lostwithiel Community Network Area (CNA). Why Fowey Parish needs a Neighbourhood Development Plan This NDP defines the community vision for how Fowey Parish will develop in the future. If adopted at referendum, this Plan will stand alongside the Local Plan to guide development within the parish and will cover the period of 2019-2030. Once finalised and adopted by Cornwall Council (CC), the planning policies presented in this NDP seek to positively plan for the future of Fowey Parish- to improve the supply of housing to meet local needs, boosting the local economy and protecting and enhancing the environment. This NDP will be used and acted upon by CC planning officers, landowners and developers through the development process; providing clarity on the community’s needs and aspirations. 3 | P a g e Fowey Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan Figure 1 Fowey Parish NDP Designated Area 4 | P a g e Fowey Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan 2 Fowey Parish NDP – The Preparation Process Getting this far Fowey Town Council is the qualifying body responsible for the preparation, consultation and submission of the NDP. The preparation of the NDP has been led by the Fowey Parish NDP Steering Group and supported by workshop groups, CC, Cornwall Rural Community Charity, Locality and Big Lottery funding. The preparation of this NDP has been informed throughout by a comprehensive programme of consultation

  • SMP2 6 Final Report
    6 ACTION PLAN 6.1 Coastal risk management activities The Action Plan for the Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Shoreline Management Plan review provides the basis for taking forward the intent of management which is discussed and developed through Chapter 4 - and summarised through the preferred policy choices set out in Chapter 5. The SMP guidance states that the purpose of the Action Plan is to summarise the actions that are required before the next review of the SMP however in reality the Action Plan is looking much further into the future in order to provide guidance on how the overall management intent for 100 years may be taken forward. For Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly SMP the Action Plan is a critical element, because there are various conditional policies for later epochs which need to be more firmly established in the future based on monitoring and investigation. The Action Plan can set the framework for an on-going shoreline management process in the coming years, with SMP3 in 5 to 10 years time as the next important milestone. This chapter therefore attempts to capture all intended actions necessary, on a policy unit by policy unit basis, to deliver the objectives at a local level. It should also help to prioritise FCRM medium and long-term planning budget lines. A number of the actions are representative of on-going commitments across the SMP area (for example to South West Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme). There are also actions that are representative of wide-scale intent of management, for example in relation to gaining a better understanding of the roles played by the various harbours and breakwaters located around the coast in terms of coast protection and sea defence.

Please note that the strategic growth for the settlement of St Blazey/Par has been incorporated in the growth factors analysis for St Austell as they have been explored together as part of the preparation of the regeneration plan. Each ‘Profile’ is split into three sections: Policy Objectives, Infrastructure & Environmental Considerations and Socio-Economic Considerations. Summaries have been provided to indicate what the key facts might mean in terms of the need for growth – and symbols have been used as follows to give a quick overview: Supports the case for future No conclusion reached/ Suggests concern over growth neutral factor/further future growth evidence required St Blazey, Fowey & Lostwithiel Overview: The St Blazey, Fowey & Lostwithiel Community Network Area contains 11 parishes and a range of settlements. St Blazey/Par, Fowey and Lostwithiel are the key settlements within this area, and acts as the local service centres to the smaller settlements surrounding them. Larger villages in the area include Tywardreath and Luxulyan. Most of the CNA is an area of 'conservative' farming landscapes, dominated by anciently enclosed land, medieval field systems, scattered settlements with just a few larger villages, and several large, old-established estates with houses and parks (Boconnoc, Menabilly, and Lanhydrock) 1.
