Introduction The St Austell Bay Economic Forum commissioned Cornwall Development Company (CDC) in February 2015 to help develop an Economic Investment Plan for the St Austell Bay area. The St Austell Bay area is not specifically defined by a boundary but comprises a significant hinterland surrounding and including the main market town of St Austell. It includes the coastal sub region surrounding St Austell Bay including Par and St Blazey and also the China Clay area stretching north to the A30 between Indian Queens and Victoria. The aim of the plan is to provide a basis for joining up and driving forward the key economic investments needed to achieve positive and transformational economic change over a 10 to 15 year period. The main focus has been on establishing which potential investments might be suitable candidates for the emerging EU Growth Programme. During the course of the work, we have also however looked at the potential alignment of projects with other funding streams, and considered aspects such as their ‘deliverability’ and strategic context/fit. The work has looked at where connections can be made between individual projects to give greater critical mass and impact. This is likely to be important in demonstrating how the investments made will bring about beneficial economic growth in line with EU Programme targets, and has been addressed in the report through highlighting a number of key strategic themes that have emerged from the discussions and assessments undertaken. Phasing the work The plan has been developed through two sequential phases of work. Phase 1 – undertaken between mid-February 2015 and the end of March 2015. Phase 2 – undertaken between April 2015 and the end of July 2015. This final plan represents a summary of the combined outcome of both Phases 1 and 2. Work undertaken during Phase 1 identified a ‘long list’ of projects and established an evidence base of information. These projects were reviewed and evaluated to assess their potential for delivery within the period 2015 to 2017. The focus of work in Phase 2 included undertaking further data collection/assessment work on projects identified in Phase 1; reviewing local and national strategies Page 3 of 55 FINAL REPORT St Austell Bay Area Investment Plan – Phase 2 Final Report Sept 2015 relevant to the area and to potentially identify further investment opportunities in addition to the list of projects that was created in Phase 1. Phase 2 also included testing the areas of strategic focus through a series of targeted consultation workshops with key stakeholders. Appendix II of this report provides a summary of the Phase 1 and 2 activities undertaken in the development of the plan. Report structure The report is structured as follows: Section 2 summarises the consultation undertaken with local ‘economic stakeholders’ in 3 geographical and 2 themed workshops Section 3 highlights key observations arising from the work. Section 4 sets out the key recommendations reached as a result of the work. Section 5 sets out the suggested next steps. As required by the brief, this plan is accompanied by a high level Environmental Sustainability Review and an initial Equality & Diversity Impact Assessment. 2 Stakeholder Workshops A series of consultation/discussion workshops with local stakeholders and the business community were held as part of the Phase 2 work. Workshops were run for each of the community network areas of St Austell Bay, Par and St Blazey and China Clay over a period of several weeks in June 2015. Two sector based workshops (Skills and the Environment) were also held during this time. The workshops were conducted by CDC and the Cornwall Council Community Link Officers and were attended by key stakeholders from local businesses, councils and interested parties. The workshop discussions helped to test and review the output from Phase 1 and the initial stages of Phase 2 and secured valuable views from stakeholders on future economic trends, priority objectives and key potential strategic investments. The detailed feedback received via the workshops is contained within Appendix III and is summarised below.

  • 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.

The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a. EC Dangerous Substances Directive b. EC Freshwater Fish Water Quality Directive c. DOE Harmonised Monitoring Scheme d. DOE Red List Reduction Programme c.
