Our first task was to find out the community’s view of what was most important as they went about their lives within the parish. We have done this through a variety of methods: e.g. questionnaires, a postal survey presence at key community events and specific consultations throughout the parish. Members of the NDP Committee have walked across, round, and through the parish and spent time looking, talking to people, noting things and taking photographs. We have discovered bits of the parish, its history and local folklore, that were new to many of us. Over the last two years the consultation, adventuring and discovery has been turned into writing the policies which we think will best meet the needs of the whole parish. Our deliberations have been ably assisted and helped by the input of a Planning Consultant/Project Manager (Steve Besford-Foster) who has been employed through funding received from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). All the plans and policies within this NDP have to comply with the National Planning Policy Framework and the Cornwall Local Plan. We have also taken into consideration many previous reports and documents about the Parish. The NDP contains a range of policies: Landscape, Environment and Biodiversity; Heritage; Transport and Communications; Local Economy and Tourism; Local Infrastructure, Services and Facilities; and Flood Management. They stand alone, but in conjunction with the Housing policy, which has been the most challenging one to write. This is, after all, a development plan, not a ‘stay as we are plan’, although that has also been considered. We hope that within our NDP’s proposed settlement boundaries there will be small pockets of land which have development potential. The aim is to ensure that future development within the parish is appropriate to our needs, in areas we think are right for us and fit with the character of our parish landscapes. Neighbourhood Development Plans are a national initiative that Calstock Parish opted into in order to have a say in planning development. In this first public view of the policies we need you to tell us whether it 2 Consultation Draft Calstock Neighbourhood Plan October 2018 ‘feels right’ for the next decade and a half. The children who are currently in primary school now may well be looking for local housing within the lifetime of this NDP. With your help and feedback we hope that this plan helps the parish to be even lovelier, greener, more economically vibrant and just as welcoming as it always has been. The NDP could not have been written without the following people and I thank them for their time, effort and commitment: Roger Alford, Sylvia Bonsey, Clive Frederick Preece, David Harding, David Lane, Terry Letchford, Jean Miller, John Roberts, Martin Smith, Tish Valva, Joan Veale. I would like to particularly thank David Harding who chaired the Steering Group (as it was then) during its first 3 years and to Cllr Glenys Rooker and Cllr Kate Latham for their help in writing the initial drafts. Thank you for your support and feedback.

  • GUNNISLAKE to CALSTOCK

    GUNNISLAKE to CALSTOCK

    GUNNISLAKE to CALSTOCK As we stood waiting at Calstock for a bus to carry us up to Gunnislake, the usual ducks were milling around near the bus shelter; by far the greatest in number are Muscovy ducks. These are wild birds but they can be farmed, when they are said to produce ‘fabulous eggs and the best duck meat ever’. The name suggests they come from Moscow which couldn’t be further from the truth….they originate from South America! It is thought that the Muscovy got its name from the Muscovite Company which traded the ducks during the 1500s but they didn’t arrive in the UK until the 20th Century. They are the only domesticated duck that is not derived from the Mallard. Muscovy ducks are hardy in all weathers, from scorching sunshine to freezing ice and snow and here in the village their numbers appear to be increasing year on year. These ugly ducks are not like other ducks, firstly they do not fly much, preferring instead to waddle or lounge about as we know. Neither do they swim as much as other breeds because their oil glands are under developed and finally, they don't quack like other ducks but instead product a low hiss. On the plus side, they hunt flies and mosquitoes and eat slugs, bugs and even grass and grain…. whatever’s going really. When the bus arrived the driver looked a bit bemused when all 22 of us piled on taking up most of the seats, only to alight again at the crossroads near the local school where today’s walk began and where one more walker joined us.

Monitoring of allis shad and smelt in the Tamar Estuary – EC18234. Natural England Evidence Project Report RP02463, York. MONITORING OF ALLIS SHAD AND SMELT IN TAMAR ESTUARIES – EC18234 Executive summary In April 2015, the Marine Biology Association (MBA) and Environment Agency (EA) were commissioned by Natural England (NE) to investigate the distribution of allis shad (Alosa alosa) and smelt (Osmerus eperlanus), protected as features in the Plymouth Sound and Estuaries Special Area for Conservation (SAC) and Tamar Estuary Sites Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) respectively. Allis shad are rare in the UK and populations are declining in Europe. The only confirmed spawning sites for allis shad are in the Tamar Estuary. This site is also an important area for spawning populations of smelt. The UK smelt population is depleted and protecting estuaries used by the species is important because they can become locally extinct from isolated estuaries and will not return. The main threats to Allis shad and smelt include pollution, over-exploitation, habitat destruction/degradation and barriers to migration.
