The key issues: Issue 1 – Enable the provision of affordable housing, without major development being directed to the area. Issue 2 – Address congestion within Camelford town centre. Issue 3 – Improve and encourage the use of public and community transport within the area and with adjoining areas. Issue 4 – Strengthen community facilities and services in Camelford and the villages, including co-location of facilities. Issue 5 – Enable new employment opportunities to align housing and employment provision. Issue 6 – Promote renewable energy generation other than through major windfarms. Purpose of paper This is one of a series of papers whose main purpose is to identify the key issues for a specific area of Cornwall. There are nineteen Community Network Areas in Cornwall, based on groupings of parishes as shown on the map below. Community Network Areas were introduced to give communities a stronger voice in helping them deal with complex issues. In this they offer a valuable conduit through which proposed Core Strategy area policies can be refined to reflect local issues through engagement, policy formulation, delivery and local ownership. Further information on Community Network Areas can be found at http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=12439. The various issues have been identified from a range of sources including plans and proposals of other organisations. Parish Plans have been very useful in identifying issues, and a summary of the ‘visions’ for each of the Parish Plans undertaken in the Camelford Community Network Area is included in Appendix 1. A full list of the Core Strategy Issues Papers can be found on the Council’s website www.cornwall.gov.uk/Default.aspx?page=17394. For the purposes of this paper, ‘Camelford’ is used to refer to the town and its immediate surroundings, and the ‘rural hinterland’ to the wider Camelford area outside of the town. 2 February 2011 Camelford Place Based Issues Paper Cornwall LDF: Core Strategy Place-based Issues Paper: Camelford Community Network Area Camelford Community Network Area Description ~ The Camelford Community Network Area covers 18 parishes that contain a range of settlements of different types and sizes as shown on the map below. The settlement pattern in this Community Network Area is characterised by a relatively large number of small settlements and a small market town. Camelford is the principal settlement within this area, and acts as the local service centre to the many smaller settlements in the area. Larger villages in the area include Boscastle, Delabole, St Breward, St Teath, Tintagel and Warbstow Cross. The main transport link to and within this Community Network Area is the A39 which runs approximately north-south through the area, connecting the area to north Devon and mid Cornwall. Despite this road link however, much of the area can be classified as remote, because of the distances between settlements, type of roads and sparse public transport options in the area. Camelford and the larger villages provide for the basic day to day needs of the area’s inhabitants, with a number of mobile services serving the smaller settlements. For other services and facilities inhabitants must travel to larger service centres outside the area, notably Wadebridge, Bodmin and Truro. Links with other areas: The area does have employment related links with the Bude, Launceston, Wadebridge and Bodmin Community Network Areas. Inhabitants of the easternmost part of the area look to Launceston for employment and services, although east-west links are time-consuming. Camelford Place Based Issues Paper February 2011 3 Cornwall LDF: Core Strategy Place-based Issues Paper: Camelford Community Network Area Key Facts Key facts about the Camelford Community Network Area include the following (http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/Default.aspx?page=20177 for the latest version of the Camelford Community Network Profile which gives more information): PARISHES: Advent, Camelford, Davidstow, Forrabury & Minster, Lesnewth, Michaelstow, Otterham, St Breward, St Clether, St Juliot, St Teath, Tintagel, Tremaine, Treneglos, Tresmeer, Trevalga and Warbstow. POPULATION: The Camelford Community Network Area had a population of just over 12,000 (in 2007), which is approximately 2% of Cornwall's population. Between 2001 and 2007 the population grew 1.5 times faster than the Cornwall average. The size of the area is nearly 25,000 hectares, which equates to 15% of Cornwall’s land area. The population density of the area is only a third of that for the whole of Cornwall (0.5 per hectare as opposed to 1.5 per hectare), making this a predominantly rural area. ENVIRONMENT: The coastal strip in the west is an AONB, as is Bodmin Moor, a large part of which lies within this Community Network Area. The River Camel corridor is designated a Special Area of Conservation. Boscastle has a well-documented area at higher risk of flooding. Building conservation areas are designated in Camelford, Boscastle, St Teath and Tintagel. 4 February 2011 Camelford Place Based Issues Paper Cornwall LDF: Core Strategy Place-based Issues Paper: Camelford Community Network Area HOUSING: There were 5,265 dwellings in March 2010 within the network area - 690 of which were constructed in the period 2001-2010. As of March 2010 the total number of dwellings included 557 second homes and 148 empty homes. In addition there were 111 dwellings under construction and a further 270 permitted dwellings where work has not commenced; when completed these dwellings will be counted towards the overall growth total. The number of affordable houses needed each year for the next 10 years in the Camelford CNA to meet the backlog is 30 (approx. net annual need). EMPLOYMENT: Camelford has a manufacturing focus, albeit on a small scale; the coastal area has a high proportion of employment in the hotel and restaurant sector. TRAVEL: The A39 runs almost north-south through the area. The area does not have strategic east-west links and there are no alternative transport links, such as rail. FACILITIES: Camelford and the larger villages has relatively comprehensive facilities that serve a wide rural area. For instance Camelford has a secondary school and an indoor swimming pool. Boscastle, Tintagel, St Teath and St Breward each have a range of shops, a post office and a primary school. Introduction The following tables provide the link between the ‘Topic Based Issues Papers’ and the ‘Place Based Issues Papers’. Each table explores the evidence relating to this Community Network Area against the main themes from a policy and community viewpoint, and concludes by identifying specific issues. Housing Cornwall Table .2 Housing: This table will explore the evidence relating to housing – future growth, balance in the housing stock, tenure mix, quality, deprivation, second homes, in-migration, affordability and housing need. Evidence that highlights specific issues for this area will be identified under ‘Issues for Consideration’ and in the summary box at the end of the table – evidence that shows no difference LDF: between this area and the average for Cornwall will not.

  • Pigot 1830 Camelford
    Extract from Pigot’s Directory of Cornwall, 1830 (page 139) Camelford Is a small market town and parliamentary borough, in the parish of Lanteglos and hundred of Lesnewth; 229 miles from London, 56 from Exeter, 12 from Bodmin, and 5 from Bossiney. It is situated amidst good agricultural land, bur devoid of prospects picturesque or even pleasing. A feature, the most prominent in the landscape of the neighbourhood, is a mountain, the ‘Rough Tor’ the highest in the county, about a mile distant, on which are immense square blocks of granite, provincially called the ‘Kairns’. This is a place of little trade; the nearest mine is at Freburget [an error – it should be Treburget] three miles hence; it is prolific in lead, with some silver. The town is governed by a mayor, 8 burgesses, and 10 freemen; these elect two members for parliament; the mayor is the returning officer: the present representatives are, Mark Millbank, Esq. and Colonel Craddock. The parish church is situated at Lanteglos, about a mile from the town; the living is a rectory, in the gift of the See of Exeter; the present incumbent is the Rev. C. Luxmore, and his curate the Rev. Thomas Amory. The only places of worship in the parish besides, are two chapels for dissenters. The market-day is Friday; the fairs are, the first Friday after the 10th March, the 25th May, 17th July, and 6th September. The parish of Lanteglos, with the borough of Camelford, contained, in 1821, 1,256 inhabitants. Post Office, Ann DINHAM, Post Mistress – letters from all parts arrive every morning at half-past seven, and are despatched every afternoon at four.

  • Forrabury & Minster Parish Plan
    Forrabury & Minster Parish Plan Boscastle: The Queen’s Head and entrance to harbour. Photo provided by Jonathan Stirrup © Forrabury & Minster Parish Plan This Parish Plan, completed in April 2016, is based on the results of a survey carried out in December 2013. The first part of the report gives a summary of the findings and a commentary from the Steering Group. This is followed, from page 24, by the detailed results, as analysed by an independent person. When this survey was initially conducted 422 questionnaires were successfully delivered to members of the Parish community. Additionally 156 letters were sent to those with a residence in the village but who did not appear on the local electoral register for the area. The steering committee have attempted to be as inclusive as possible for the purposes of gaining a representative view of life in the Parish from as many voices likely to have an interest in the Parish as possible. 230 questionnaires were returned and 5 requests, as a result of the mailshot, were made for a questionnaire. This report is based upon the findings of these 235. Following completion of phase one (the collation of data) and completion of phase two (the completion of this report) 5 more questionnaires were returned that unfortunately have not been included in this report due to time constraints. Boscastle is an old harbour village in North Cornwall, notably famous for a severe flood in 2004. The Parish comprises Forrabury and Minster and Boscastle village as well as outlying areas as far as Slaughterbridge. A detailed image of the Parish and its boundary can be seen on the final page of this report.

  • JULY 2013 EDITORIAL I Must Admit That I Had a Job Stealing Myself from the Sunshine to Write This
    YOUR SUMMER Camelfordian JULY 2013 EDITORIAL I must admit that I had a job stealing myself from the sunshine to write this. I have been trying to grow my own fruit and vege- tables and have found it to be a little more complicated than “shove it in the ground and wait!” My dog has found a cool place to lie in my first ever attempt to grow strawberries and there are only four gooseberries on my prize bush. I shall look forward to harvesting my pea and broad bean in the very near future. I do seem to be very successful at perpetual spinach and lettuce but have managed to kill the mint. I find the biggest pleasure to be lying back with a gin and tonic after I have worked up a sweat and shall continue with this long after I have given up self sufficiency. Don’t forget that there is no in August so you must make this one last! WEBSITE UPDATE We launched the Camelfordian website for the announcement to appear in our June edition. It arrived a little before its time, but has been updated and hopefully improved. You can now click on the thumbnails to bring up copies of the Camel- fordian. Other hyperlinks should now work properly and there is music to accompa- ny some of the pages. It has been checked in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome. However, if you find any problems, any issues with the Website, please let us know. Letter to the editor Dear Editor I would like, through your publication, to express my congratulations to the organisers of the “Street Party” staged on Sunday, 2nd June in Camelford.
