Fowey Estuary Partnership presentation Claire Hoddinott, Environment Officer, Fowey Harbour Commissioners, attended the meeting to provide a presentation on the work of the Fowey Estuary Partnership (FEP). This informative presentation included the following: • Fowey Estuary Management Plan – 5 year plan, non-statutory document, which aims to balance the needs and demands of the Estuary and its user groups with environmental issues etc. • Fowey Estuary is a small geographical area. Marine Coastal Zone (MCZ) – covers 2 areas of the Estuary - Upper Fowey and small community of Golant, and Pont Creek. Fowey Estuary Partnership is now looking at management options of the MCZ. • Commenting on Planning consultations and other consultations such as Special Protected Area for diving birds. • Working with Cornwall Wildlife Trust undertaking non-native species surveys and working with Natural England to survey Pacific Oysters and identifying possible control measures. Also working with Friends of Fowey Estuary Volunteers. • Readymoney Cove – designated bathing water beach – working with EA and SWW to maintain bathing water quality. • Further info about the work of the FEP contact [email protected] Following the presentation, partners had discussions on related issues, such as: • Natural England confirmed they have submitted a funding bid for management of Pacific Oysters. • Single use plastic waste is not currently a major issue for the Estuary as regular beach cleans by volunteers including using a Kayak is proving to be successful and businesses in Fowey are being encouraged to sign up to the Cornwall REFILL water bottles campaign. • Water run-off from farms is also not known to be a major issue in the area 3. Minutes of last meeting (11 Sept 2017) – AGREED to be a true and accurate record. Matters arising: Page 2, item 2, Defra’s 25 year Environment and Food and Farming Plans - following up on the importance of this, and the AONB Partnership advocating for the combining of the 25 year Plans, the theme for the 2018 Annual Cornwall AONB Conference is going to be Environment, Food and Farming. Page 5, Item 7, Tintagel Bridge Planning application PA17/05087 – following the agreement at the last Partnership meeting, the planning case officer’s report for this application recommended approval, and the 2 AONB Unit therefore wrote to the Secretary of State requesting that the application be ‘called in’ for determination. But, this request for ‘call in’ was not granted, and the approval for the bridge will stand. Actions 5. Election of Cornwall AONB Partnership Chair and Vice-Chair This item was brought forward on the agenda (before item 4. Management Plan actions). The Exec Board on 22 Sept 2017 agreed the election process and role profile and the Chairperson role was advertised. Following interviews, Gill Pipkin, was appointed. Gill Pipkin was asked to leave the room at this point for the Partnership to formally agree that Gill Pipkin be elected as the new Chairperson. AGREED that the Partnership accept the appointment of Gill Pipkin as the new Cornwall AONB Partnership Chair for a period of 2 years. It was further AGREED that the election of Vice-Chair should take place at the next Partnership meeting, and that Vice-Chair nominations will be from members of the AONB Unit existing Partnership. Gill Pipkin was invited back into the meeting, and provided a brief insight into her background of relevant experience and skills she will bring to the Chairperson role. Bob Kirby-Harris and Gill Pipkin will co-Chair the Partnership for a handover period until after the next Partnership meeting. Bob Kirby-Harris is currently an ex-officio Trustee of the Cornwall AONB Trust, and discussion will be held with regards to Gill taking on a role as Trustee. 4. Management Plan actions: partner updates - partners were asked to provide any progress updates from their organisations against the list of 26 Management Plan actions (A-Z). AONB Unit – Action B – Zennor, St Agnes and Trevose Head undergrounding schemes approved. I - Woodland Trust are co-ordinating a bid to submit to HLF – AONB Unit working with them to include Fowey area – orchards, strengthening wooded character of the Fowey Estuary L – developing Wheal Buzzy project – to encourage mining bees habitat on former mining sites – plan to submit a bid to HLF in New Year. N – Scheduled Ancient Monuments (SAMs) – working up a project with Historic England to bring SAMs back into better management. Geographical Priorities – the West Penwith Landscapes Partnership Scheme funded by HLF – announcement from HLF on the funding of the Stage 2 project is expected tomorrow (6 Dec). Bodmin Moor Peatlands Restoration Fund – the AONB Unit has been working with other partners to help South West Water to submit a bid to Defra for funding of a Peatlands Restoration Fund for Bodmin Moor, Exmoor and Dartmoor. Action A – Neighbourhood Plans – Jim Flashman said he knows some parishes have difficulty finding time and expertise to develop a Neighbourhood Development Plan, and asked if any partners can provide help? AONB Unit confirmed that CC Planning can provide help, and a small amount of funding is available for training for parishes from Locality funding. Separate from the West Penwith Landscape Partnership Project, the AONB Unit confirmed that the AONB provided funding to Ludgvan Parish as a pilot to help resources of their 3 Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP). If this pilot is successful, the aim for longer term is to work with all 11 Parishes in West Penwith on their NDPs. AONB Unit has also trialled NDP work in previous years – e.g. Roseland, and developed a toolkit. Cornwall Heritage Trust - Helen Rawe is interested how CHT can be involved in any of the Management Plan actions. AONB Unit would welcome involvement from CHT in its SAMs project. Helen Rawe mentioned a letter in the Western Morning News yesterday about loss of chapels in Cornwall. A chapel in Flushing has just been sold – a perceived mis-use of former worship buildings. Chris Coldwell, AONB Unit, will follow up discussions on this with Helen Rawe AONB Unit as part of his SAMs project. ERCCIS – Hedge Field Boundary Layer will be published next month, and the Land cover 2015 GIS Layer for funding partners will be available, hopefully by April 2018. Natural England – Countryside Stewardship up-take – NE will be dealing with applications differently by encouraging applicants to be more involved and hands-on in the application process, freeing up time for Natural England officers to concentrate on providing technical advice expertise. SW FWAG – B Hughes mentioned Hedgerows and Boundaries – and a new capital grant that will be available for up to £10K per holding. 6. Planning – Development Management Jim Wood, Cornwall AONB Planning Officer presented this item. It has become evident that the existing Planning Protocol between the AONB Unit and Cornwall Council is now defunct and it is not always clear if the consultation process is worthy. An action in the AONB Management Plan 2016-2021 is to revise the Planning Protocol (Policy MD17). A first draft Planning Position Statement was discussed at the last Partnership meeting on 11 Sept, and subsequently, detailed discussions have been held with Cornwall Council to ensure the approach going forward

But the millstone turned out to be lighter than water and floated, so the wind and the waves brought Piran to Cornwall.

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.

This advice should therefore be read together with the SAC Conservation Objectives available here. You should use the Conservation Objectives, this Supplementary Advice and any case-specific advice given by Natural England, when developing, proposing or assessing an activity, plan or project that may affect this site. This Supplementary Advice to the Conservation Objectives presents attributes which are ecological characteristics of the designated species and habitats within a site. The listed attributes are considered to be those that best describe the site’s ecological integrity and which, if safeguarded, will enable achievement of the Conservation Objectives. Each attribute has a target which is either quantified or qualitative depending on the available evidence. The target identifies as far as possible the desired state to be achieved for the attribute. The tables provided below bring together the findings of the best available scientific evidence relating to the site’s qualifying features, which may be updated or supplemented in further publications from Natural England and other sources. The local evidence used in preparing this supplementary advice has been cited. The references to the national evidence used are available on request. Where evidence and references have not been indicated, Natural England has applied ecological knowledge and expert judgement.
