Introduction Cornwall Council (CC) commissioned Cornwall Development Company (CDC) to report on the deliverability of potential employment sites1 within thirteen towns across Cornwall: Launceston, Liskeard, Saltash, Hayle, CPR (Camborne, Pool and Redruth), Falmouth/Penryn, Truro, Penzance, St Austell, Torpoint, Looe, Wadebridge and Callington. This report focuses on Saltash. The overall aim of this study is to list specific sites, within the Optional Growth Areas (OGAs) of Cornwall Council’s Draft Core Strategy2 and within the town boundaries, and to research and record factors affecting their deliverability. The assessment of sites does not prioritise any site/s to be developed but does indicate sites within a timescale that could come forward with the right intervention, for example, developer commitment to delivering a site or public sector intervention. CC identified this study as necessary to support the Economic Papers that are being produced for the Town Framework Plans (TFPs)3. Although CC commissioned an Employment Land Review (ELR) in 2010, as part of the evidence base to inform the preparation of the Local Development Frameworks (LDF) and the allocation of land for employment uses, this did not go into depth regarding the availability, deliverability and ultimately the suitability of the land supply sites it identified. Engagement with the private sector has been an important part of this assessment, enabling evidence about owner and developer interest, as well as demand and barriers to development, to be collated. This study will identify sites with the greatest potential for bringing forward for employment use. The report will also recommend schemes which have the potential to obtain Priority 2 European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) funding. 1.1 Objectives The objectives for the Cornwall Employment Sites Study are to identify: 1 Employment sites has been defined for the purpose of the project as land with potential for B1 (offices/light industry), B2 (general industrial), B8 (storage or distribution) and some A2 (financial and professional services) use development. 2 The Core Strategy will be a lead document in Cornwall’s Local Development Framework – a suite of planning documents outlining the planning policy for Cornwall for the next 20 years. 3 Town Framework Plans are being produced for Launceston, Liskeard, Saltash, Hayle, Camborne, Pool and Redruth (CPR), Falmouth/Penryn, Truro, Bodmin, Penzance, Newquay, St Ives and Carbis Bay, St Austell and Bude/Stratton/Flexbury/Poughill. The Framework for each town provides a spatial strategy for the future growth/enhancement/protection of a Town for the next 20+ years, linked to an overall vision for the town. They provide an additional layer of evidence for the Core Strategy. 3 Cornwall Employment Sites Study July 2012 Sites most likely to be deliverable for employment space; Sites with the greatest potential for accessing European Regional Development Fund (Convergence Priority 24) within the timescale of the Programme;5 Current market evidence to support the Core Strategy; Demand for employment space; 1.2 Methodology This report has used a three stage methodology to report on the deliverability of potential employment sites within the town; initial site identification, followed by engagement with the private sector to understand barriers to development and investment, and finally, assessment of the sites identified and reporting of conclusions. 1.2.1 Site Identification The ELR6 and Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment7 (SHLAA) were reviewed to identify existing allocated sites which could potentially deliver employment space. CC planning officers identified specific sites, within the OGAs and the town boundaries, which they were aware that the private sector was actively pursuing for employment space development. They also identified employment sites with extant or expired planning permission. Contact was made with the TFP Officers to discuss potential employment sites. CDC undertook a ‘drive round’ of the towns to familiarise themselves with sites and to identify any additional sites with potential for employment space development. CDC/CC identified recent applications (or pre-applications) for large housing schemes that had not included employment provision as part of a mixed-use sustainable development. 1.2.2 Private/Public Sector Engagement Commercial Property Agents who are active in the local market were commissioned to identify local demand and supply, potential sites CDC had overlooked, barriers to development and investment and factors constraining the property market. CDC also made contact with the following parties: 4 Enterprise and Innovation. 5 The deadline for applications is mid 2013 to enable final contracts for the schemes to be signed off by December 2013. Final payment to the contractor must be by 30 June 2015. Final claim needs to be with Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) by end of August 2015. 6 Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners, 2010, Cornwall Employment Land Review. 7 Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (Identifying sites with potential for housing). 4 Cornwall Employment Sites Study July 2012 Saltash and District Chamber of Commerce and Industry Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) Invest in Cornwall Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) CC in relation to the Core Strategy, and Developers In addition, CC wrote to owners of land within the OGAs as part of the public consultation on the Draft Core Strategy.

  • Message from the Mayor Hello All This Is My First Town Message and I Hope It Keeps You up to Date with Town News and Events
    Edition 28 : July 2012 Message from the Mayor Hello All This is my first Town Message and I hope it keeps you up to date with Town news and events. Good Times It was marvellous to see virtually all our Town out to say farewell to the Olympic Torch after a fabulous day of sporting and music activities. This was followed, 2 weeks later, by the Queens Jubilee celebrations with 15 street parties (some overcoming torrential rain), Beating the Bounds, a picnic in the park and 2 tree planting ceremonies. The Mayfair in its new location was hailed as a success and the Regatta too was a resounding success, despite the weather. A new theatrical and music group Page2Stage started in late June. Chris, Andy, Paul and Niall from the Cecil Arms who while breaking a Guinness record for playing darts for over 41 hours raised a staggering £3000 for Parkinson‟s Disease UK. Two new shops opened – More than Art and the Original Factory Shop. Our shopping centre is thriving and has only 4 empty shops which is a very different case to many other towns in Cornwall. Not so good We live in an area with an extremely low crime rate, so it is sad to note that in June we have some less sociable members of our town who feel emptying and stealing grit bins is enjoyable. What it means for us is we have to pay more taxes to put things back to ensure we are ready for winter. Getting better Our Town Council has regained its Quality Status.

Introduction This report is a brief interim Sustainability Appraisal (SA) review of the Options consultation document Framework Plan for Bude, Stratton, Flexbury and Poughill. The Framework Plan is part of the Cornwall Core Strategy process. A SA assesses the environmental, social and economic impacts of proposed plans and policies and is required by legislation. There are 24 Cornwall SA Objectives against which plans are appraised; these objectives can be viewed in Appendix 1. The SA process provides a quality check on the Framework Plan and aims to ensure that the options and proposals within the document are moving towards achieving sustainable development. The SA will inform the decision making process in developing the subsequent stages of the Framework Plan. This review focuses on: • An overview of the Bude, Stratton, Flexbury and Poughill Framework Plan • The emerging Bude, Stratton, Flexbury and Poughill Framework objectives • Options for economic growth • Options for future housing growth • Options for urban extensions/new neighbourhoods • Infrastructure 2. Overview of the Bude, Stratton, Flexbury and Poughill Framework Plan The Framework Options document is the first stage of developing the Framework Plan for the Bude, Stratton, Flexbury and Poughill areas. As such it presents different options for consideration that could meet long term employment, housing, retail and mixed use requirements, it also indicates how infrastructure implications are being assessed. In summary the options document presents five options for consideration as urban extensions – one is of a potentially significant scale, three are of a relatively medium scale and one is small.

  • Chapter Six Anti-Poverty Strategies
    CHAPTER SIX ANTI-POVERTY STRATEGIES: CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WEST CORNWALL INTRODUCTION The first three chapters of this report looked at poverty and deprivation in rural areas in the United Kingdom, in Cornwall and in West Cornwall. Chapters four and five focused on housing and ill- health and their links with poverty and deprivation in Cornwall and West Cornwall. These earlier chapters looked at how and why, in spite of clear evidence and local knowledge of multiple deprivation among Cornish households, this has not been reflected either in government statistics or in the allocation of Revenue Support Grant and other monies from central government to enable councils to meet local needs. Policies aimed at counteracting the effects of poverty have been part of local government activity for many years. Professor David Donnison cites the first poverty relief - provision of affordable decent rented housing and the first foster care for children - as reminders of the ground-breaking role which local authorities have historically taken in tackling problems of poverty and other 'social ills' (Donnison 1995). In the introduction to her novel about local government in the 1930’s Winifred Holtby identified local government as 'in essence the first line of defence thrown up by the community against our common enemies - poverty, sickness, ignorance, isolation, mental derangement and social maladjustment' (Holtby 1936). While Cornwall has been struggling to reverse longer-term industrial decline, with its attendant 'social ills' - high unemployment, job insecurity, poverty and low wages - this has to a large extent been in isolation with little central government support or recognition.
