  • South West River Basin District Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment
    South West river basin district Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment March 2016 Executive summary The Flood Risk Management Plan (FRMP) for the South West River Basin District (RBD) provides an overview of the range of flood risks from different sources across the 9 catchments of the RBD. The RBD catchments are defined in the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) and based on the natural configuration of bodies of water (rivers, estuaries, lakes etc.). The FRMP provides a range of objectives and programmes of measures identified to address risks from all flood sources. These are drawn from the many risk management authority plans already in place but also include a range of further strategic developments for the FRMP ‘cycle’ period of 2015 to 2021. The total numbers of measures for the South West RBD FRMP are reported under the following types of flood management action: Types of flood management measures % of RBD measures Prevention – e.g. land use policy, relocating people at risk etc. 21 % Protection – e.g. various forms of asset or property-based protection 54% Preparedness – e.g. awareness raising, forecasting and warnings 21% Recovery and review – e.g. the ‘after care’ from flood events 1% Other – any actions not able to be categorised yet 3% The purpose of the HRA is to report on the likely effects of the FRMP on the network of sites that are internationally designated for nature conservation (European sites), and the HRA has been carried out at the level of detail of the plan. Many measures do not have any expected physical effects on the ground, and have been screened out of consideration including most of the measures under the categories of Prevention, Preparedness, Recovery and Review.

  • Neighbourhood Plan Chelston Cockington and Livermead
    Neighbourhood Plan Chelston Cockington and Livermead General Our Ward is a diverse mix of largely fully developed areas in Chelston and Livermead while open countryside/parkland and rural environment in Cockington. Chelston represents a contrast between the original Victorian developments of major houses/villas/ terraces interspaced with small park areas, and other more modern housing built in the 20th century. We have two conservation areas: in Chelston it encompasses the major Victorian area; while in Cockington an original family estate of manor house (Cockington Court), five farmsteads and ancient village is now a significant visitor attraction. We also have a large part of Occombe Farm within our Ward which is an organic demonstration farm, nature trail and visitor attraction. Our Ward also includes a stretch of coastline including Hollicombe, Livermead and Corbyn Head beaches. Livermead beach includes the remnants of the original harbour for Torre Abbey that could be considered for historic protection. Development Opportunities and Planning controls There is plenty to preserve and enhance in our Ward; while little scope to offer much in significant development opportunities other than the brown-field Hollicombe gas works site opposite Hollicombe Park. It had been suggested that The ‘Old Piggeries’ green-field site adjacent to Cockington Country Park was suitable for housing we believe it is unsuitable for this use due to its impact on the adjacent important rural landscape and should be used for an expansion of community allotments as an extension to the TCC Trust’s ethos or as an asset for Cockington Country Park Ring fence Cockington Country Park and Occombe Farm from green-field housing development or encroachment by visually obtrusive new developments on its borders.
