Diharesow / Apologies J. Edmondson, K. George, J. Holmes 2. Kovnotyansow / Minutes The minutes of the meeting on Friday 19th June 2015 were read and agreed. 3. Materow ow sordya / Matters arising Reskadinnick (Camborne) = Reskadenek This place-name had previously been translated as <Roskasedhek>. This decision was based on the 1284 form <Roscadethek>, which was now believed to have been wrongly attributed; agreed that it would be listed under <Reskajeage>. The first element was corrected to <res> ‘ford’. The 1510 form’s <ros-> element could have been heathland. Rosewarne was identified as a <res> (‘ford’) name. If it were a personal name, <res> would be more likely for a settlement. The panel agreed the revised translation – Reskadenek. It includes the elements <res> ‘ford’ + <kaden> obscure; possibly a personal name + <ek> ‘abounding in’. Ruskedenack Vean [historic name] = Reskadenek Vian Roskedinick Mill [historic name] = Melin Roskasedhek Reskajeage (Camborne) = Roskajek This place-name includes the elements <ros> ‘hill-spur’ + <daek> possibly personal name. Reskajeage Downs = Ros Kajek Trewidden = Trewedn (unchanged) A place-name - <Boswedn> was identified during the meeting, which showed pre-occlusion. Rose Vale (Penzance) = Stras an Ros The name comes from TA (Bond 2009). Bosullow Lane End = Penn an Vownder Boschiwolow Trehyllys = Penn an Vownder Boschiwolow Tristrams Cottages = Penntiow Trystan There was a debate whether the Brythonic/Cornish form should be used. Chappie = Chipy (cinfirmed) NM ACTION: The etymology of Poltair should have been <poll>, not <pol>. Poltair (St Austell) = Polltir Roundabouts There was a discussion on the terminology for roundabouts on road signage. Both <fordh a-dro> and <kylghfordh> were considered, but the panel agreed that <kylghfordh> was more accurate. Kettle’s Bottom (Sennen) = Jybm There was a consensus among the panel to change the spelling from <Jibm> to <Jybm>. 4. Materow Ughella / Strategic Issues a. Highways England – A30 Temple The work with Highways England to include bilingual junction during the duelling work was ongoing. It was still unsure whether the work would be adopted. b. Cornwall Council - Planning N Meek would be giving a talk to both Cornwall Council and private sector developers. N Meek would also be meeting with the Duchy (during the w/c 20/07) and had requested pictures of the signage they have 2 selected at Nansledan. c. Mapping L Jenkin had discussed the possibility of an interactive Taves an Tir map with Tom Goskar. Suggestions included an online map with selectable layers and a mobile app. There was a discussion around creating a map with the expertise within the signage panel featuring the main settlements. Future projects could include separate maps of the ‘konteth’ regions within Cornwall. A 12-figure grid reference was considered an ideal measurement for use on a mapping database. 5. Arwodhow yn stret / Street signs Belgravia Street (Penzance) = Stret Belgravia Bokenna Close (Dobwalls, Liskeard) = Kew Boskennow The historical forms of Bokenna (St Cleer) showed only one instance of <n>, whereas the other eleven forms identified all included <nn>. Due to the <nn> this meant that the original translation of kenow ‘puppy’ was incorrect. Gover 1948 identified cynnow / <Keunow> was identified at Tregenna, St Veep. Gover 1948 showed Ceneu/Cenau at Boskenna, Tregenna and Tregedna and was considered to mean ‘glorious hound’. ACTION: Scan a copy of the 1948 Gover personal names list for the SR signage panel. The historical forms from 1327 - <Botkynou> (for Bokenna) and <Pellegynou> (for Pellagenna) may have been the same recorder. <Botkynou> was considered to be an anomalous form. Place-name translations Bokenna (St Cleer) = Boskennow Bokenna Cross = Krowsfordh Boskennow Bokenna Wood = Koos Mengleudh Boskennow (This place-name had lost the element ‘quarry’ from the 1889 form; this was reintroduced with <mengleudh>.) Pellagenna (St Cleer) = Pellagennow The adjective in front of the noun would cause a mutation. The <nh> found in the 1201 form <Pelangenho> may stand for <nn>. Padel shows <Pellagenna> as the only <pella-> name. 3 <Pellen> was a suggested term for a ‘rounded hill of something’ or a ‘ball of something’. Little Pellagenna = Pellagennow Vyghan Boskenna (St Burian) = Boskenow The panel were happy that the derivation of this place-name was cenew ‘puppy’. Boskenna Cliff = Als Boskenow Boskenna Cross = Krows Boskenow Cedar Woods (St Austell) = Koos Seder This location was a field historically, not a wood. Filtrick Lane (Piece, Carnkie) = Bownder Fyltryk Agreement that the name <filtrick> was obscure; therefore the 1530 place-name form <Fyltryk> was selected. Hocking’s Green (Liskeard) = Glas Hokkyn There was uncertainty whether the word had an English/French origin. The panel decided to re-spell it into Cornish. Liggars Drive (Dobwalls) = Rosva Losgardh Containing the elements <los> ‘grey’ and <garth>, which in this instance was ‘ridge’. There was a discussion whether <- th>/<-dh> would best represent this term; the panel decided that <-dh> was more accurate and avoided confusion with <garth> ‘yard’. <hirardh> was agreed as a compound word for ‘long ridge’. The French jardin for ‘small enclosure’ could be linked to <garth> ‘yard’. Higher Liggars Wood = Koos Losgardh Wartha Lower Liggars Wood = Koos Losgardh Woles Liggars Wood = Koos Losgardh Stoney Lane (Polgooth) = Bownder Veynek The Pathway Fields (Hayle) = Parkow an Trolergh Using <parkow> could be interpreted as ‘two fields’. West Corner (Carnon Downs) = Kornel West 6. Henwyn leow / Place names a. Rol Henwyn Tyller - Pluwvadern Landithy = Lanndythi There was a suggestion that Lanndithy could be St Day, although the panel agreed that it was an obscure 4 personal name. Landithy Hall = Hel Lanndythi Landithy Pond = Poll Lanndythi Lower Landithy = Lanndythi Woles Leskinnick = Leskeunek Consisting of the elements <les> ‘plant’ + keunek ‘green (herbal) reed bed’ Leskinnick House = Chi Leskeunek Penzance Market Cross, The = Krows an Varghas There was a suggestion that the stone was dedicated to King Rigas. Tregoddick {lost} = Tregudek The second element may have been <kudh> ‘hidden’, although the panel agreed that it was obscure. The 1297 form Tregudek was used in the translation. Tremenhere = Tremenhir The translation reflects the fact that this place-name had resisted mutation. Criglow (Trewern) = Krugelow Believed to be the collective form <elow> ‘elms’. Hall Gre = Hal Gre Agreed translation again reflects the missing mutation. Trenogan (Nr. Trewern) = Trenoghen 8. Negys aral / Any Other Business None 9.

The Duchy consists of around 53,154 hectares of land in 24 counties, mostly in the South West of England. The Duchy estate was created in 1337 by Edward III for his son and heir, Prince Edward, and its primary function was to provide him and future Princes of Wales with an income from its assets. A charter ruled that each future Duke of Cornwall would be the eldest surviving son of the Monarch and the heir to the throne.

  • Draft Design Guide
    DraftDesign guide How to achieve quality in development for people, wildlife & the environment NB Not all links are live in this draft document www.cornwall.gov.uk consultation draft 1 Foreword 1.1 Design quality is vital to Cornwall’s planning agenda. There has never been a more critical time to create and take up opportunities to make new development better. Improving the quality of our places and buildings will help us to respond positively to climate change and the drive for our residents to lead healthier lives. We have a long history of Cornish ingenuity and creativity that can be continued to establish modern design solutions that enhance our environment, celebrate our heritage and culture and secure our resilience. 1.2 New development needs to establish good quality, empowering and distinctive places to live for all residents, both now and into the long term. Currently, over 3,000 homes are being delivered each year to meet the needs of Cornwall’s population but not all developments are reaching the high standards communities deserve. We need to find ways to make it possible to build high quality, attractive and efficient homes at a price that is affordable on a Cornish income. 1.3 Environmental growth is fundamental to boosting the quality of our lives and supporting Cornwall’s resilience. New development led by green infrastructure that provides the systems we rely on to live and thrive presents a considerable environmental growth opportunity. 1.4 Embedding great design practice involves change across all sectors and we have overhauled our guidance to provide a better way of communicating the components of good quality design and places.

  • Duchy Presentation 2019 Final.Pages
    DUCHY PRESENTATION TO RESIDENTS OF NANSLEDAN Thursday 16 May 2019 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND • Ben Murphy provided a brief introduction to the Duchy and Nansledan Team and explained their role in the management of the development. The Prince’s vision and Nansledan masterplan aims to build a mixed use and mixed income community, inspired by traditional Cornish architecture, using local materials and creating new businesses and jobs. It hopes to create a place with a real sense of community and strong Cornish identity and it is a reaction to “more of the same” low quality Plc housing developments. Examples were given of how Nansledan is already providing opportunity for local businesses, using local materials and employing local tradesmen. • Newquay and Truro are taking over most of the housing growth throughout Cornwall. Nansledan is on Duchy of Cornwall land and they control design and build quality by acting as the master developer and estate manager, retaining a long-term interest in realising the masterplan vision. CURRENT PHASING PLAN • The new CEO of Wainhomes is Alex Hugo, who has confirmed that the site compound will be moving from Phase 1 so that the new allotments and play area can finally be built. Wainhomes will be moving onto phase 4 (south of Phase 1). CG Fry are moving onto phase 7 and Morrish are intending to move across the main road into the Rialton Quarter for their next phase. • Nansledan house sales are very good, and it is currently the best performing site within the South West for all three house builders. BUSINESSES • All of the new businesses are doing well and set in a good location.
