Visitor surveys elsewhere indicate that large coastal (particularly estuarine) sites tend to have considerably larger catchments than inland sites, and typically at least 50% of visitors live within 10km for coastal or estuarine sites, whilst at least 50% of visitors live within 5km of inland sites2.

Cornwall Council have committed to design appropriate studies, having regard to access, types of use and qualifying features, and collect visitor survey data to establish an up to date baseline confirming levels of recreational use in order to define a local zone of influence. This will inform any necessary mitigation strategies including visitor management, developer contributions and greenspace requirements in new development.

A supplementary planning document will be produced, based on the findings of the study, setting out the required mitigation for each European site.

In advance of these surveys we will apply buffer zones (through Policy 23), as set out below, within these the Council would not accept development, without appropriate mitigation, if likely to generate recreational activity that would have adverse impact on the integrity of the site. These buffer zones are indicated on figure x.

All these provide important information and should be used alongside this document in making planning decisions. The Tamar Valley AONB Management Plan 2014-2019, in particular, provides guidance on what constitutes ‘major’ development within an AONB stating that this will depend on the scale, location and type of development proposed.

2.102 (2.97) The plan seeks to meet the development needs of Cornwall. The coast, particularly the undeveloped parts, will seldom be the most appropriate location. Given both the physical and policy constraints in most parts of the undeveloped coast, it should not be expected to accommodate new development that could be located inland or in existing developed areas.

Proposals for development should be informed by and respond to the natural environment in line with their status:

Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB): When considering proposals for development within the AONB, the Council will ensure that development is in accordance with the great weight afforded to their landscape and scenic beauty in national policy and the aims and objectives of the Cornwall and Tamar AONB Management Plans. These in particular, provide guidance on what constitutes ‘major’ development within an AONB stating that this will depend on the scale, location and type of development proposed. Permission for major development within the AONB will only be granted in exceptional circumstances.

Heritage Coast: Within the Heritage Coast area as shown on the Policies Map, proposals must respect the natural beauty of the coast, including flora and fauna, and heritage features. In addition they should facilitate and enhance the enjoyment of the Heritage Coast whilst complementing the natural beauty and heritage features; and maintain and, where necessary, enhance the environmental health of inshore waters.

Landscape Character: To assist in the assessment of landscape character, the Council has undertaken an objective assessment which divides Cornwall into 40 landscape character areas, highlighting key features make one area different to another. Reading these character area descriptions will also help understand which landscape components make an area distinctive. It is these key elements that need to be managed and enhanced whilst accommodating future development.

Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Areas (SPA), Ramsar sites and Proposed European Sites: Development will not be permitted unless it can show it will not have an adverse effect whether direct or indirect upon the integrity of the designated areas having regard to avoidance or mitigation measures. Proposals near or affecting a SAC also require a Habitats Regulations Assessment.

Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI): Development proposals within or outside an SSSI which would be likely to adversely affect the site will not be permitted unless the benefits of the development clearly outweigh both the adverse impacts on the site and any adverse impacts on the wider network of SSSIs.

Paragraph 2.103 That paragraph 2.103 (2.98) is amended to read: To clarify text and (2.98) address concerns Biodiversity and Geodiversity: Planning applications which have from Cornwall Wildlife the potential to impact on biodiversity and geodiversity (including Trust.

a. international, national and locally designated sites for nature conservation are safeguarded from inappropriate development to a level commensurate with the status of their designation. The highest level of protection will be given to potential and existing Special Protection Areas, and possible and existing special Areas of Conservation and Ramsar sites: proposals having an adverse impact on such areas will not be permitted other than in exceptional circumstances.

Significant harm to Sites of Special Scientific Interest should be avoided, adequately mitigated or, as a last resort, compensated for.

This will include provision of appropriate buffer areas and site management based on up-to-date evidence and management plans.

b. features and locally designated sites of biological or geological interest (including Biodiversity Action Plan priority habitats, irreplaceable habitats, and soils SINCs and RIGS), are conserved, protected and enhanced and there is or full V1 Schedule of Proposed Further Significant Changes March 2015 ID.01.CC.2.4

c. there is no net loss of existing biodiversity and enable a net gain in biodiversity by designing in biodiversity, and ensuring any unavoidable impacts are appropriately mitigated and/or compensated for. This must ensure the importance of habitats identified in the South West Regional Nature Map are considered and the creation of a local and regional biodiversity network of wildlife corridors and local wildlife sites, helping to deliver the actions set out in the Cornwall Biodiversity Action Plan are recognised.

All development proposals that would affect the natural environment will be determined in accordance with local policy in this Plan and national policy in the National Planning Policy Framework.

Mitigation

Where development will result in adverse impact, the council will require appropriate and proportionate mitigation and/ or compensation such as replacement habitats.

Paragraph 2.105 Amend the paragraph to read: To explain the (2.100) differing significance 2.105 (2.100) The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) between designations. planning policy provides guidance which should be used alongside this Plan particularly on the identification, significance, and V1 Schedule of Proposed Further Significant Changes March 2015

English Heritage keep an up to date register or all listed buildings and scheduled ancient monuments and proposals which support those at risk will be encouraged. Alongside these exist a number of designated heritage assets including Registered Parks and Gardens, Conservation Areas and other areas of historic interest that are protected through the planning process. The NPPF National policy recognises the value of local heritage assets but expects applcants to describe the significance of impact on these assets proportionate to their importance and the determination of planning applications will be that decisions are based on the assessment of the potential impact of the proposal on the nature, extent, and level of that heritage significance., in the determination of planning applications.

Where development is proposed that would lead to substantial harm to assets of the highest significance, this is likely to be wholly exceptional; and substantial harm to all other nationally designated assets should be exceptional. In all cases any harm to heritage assets should be justified and weighed against the public benefits of the proposal.

Where less than substantial harm would result from a development affecting a heritage asset of moderate significance (which is often the case in regard to alterations or extensions to grade II listed buildings or non-designated assets of local importance), the council will weigh that harm against the public, not the private, benefits of that proposal.

Archaeology: Applications which have the potential to impact on archaeological remains will need to be accompanied by assessments and field evaluations sufficient to define their significance prior to the determination of applications. Applicants which should outline any mitigation measures and the steps to be taken to record, retain, incorporate, protect, enhance and where appropriate manage the archaeological interest, as part of the proposals. Non designated heritage assets of archaeological interest of equivalent significance to Scheduled Monuments shall be dealt with as subject to the same policy weight.

Listed Buildings: Should be conserved and, where appropriate, enhanced. Loss of any significance should be minimised, and will be permitted only where any harm is justified by the public benefits of the proposal. New development affecting a listed building or its setting should incorporate high quality design. More information can be found by visiting: http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/environment-and- planning/conservation/listed-buildings/

Conservation Areas: Proposals in or affecting the setting of a conservation area should preserve or enhance those elements that make a positive contribution to the special character and appearance of the area.

Locally important heritage assets: Proposals affecting buildings, monuments, sites, places, areas or landscapes identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions but which are not formally designated heritage assets should ensure they are conserved having regard to their significance and the degree of any harm or loss of significance.

The Council is producing supplementary planning documents on both the Historic Environment and World Heritage Site to provide guidance on the interpretation and application of the policy. Applicants will be expected to demonstrate how a proposal addresses a heritage asset by completing a heritage statement along with their proposal.
