  • Bude, Stratton, Flexbury and Poughill Framework Plan
    Bude, Stratton, Flexbury and Poughill Framework Plan Interim Sustainability Appraisal September 2011 Planning Delivery Team (East) 1. Introduction This report is a brief interim Sustainability Appraisal (SA) review of the Options consultation document Framework Plan for Bude, Stratton, Flexbury and Poughill. The Framework Plan is part of the Cornwall Core Strategy process. A SA assesses the environmental, social and economic impacts of proposed plans and policies and is required by legislation. There are 24 Cornwall SA Objectives against which plans are appraised; these objectives can be viewed in Appendix 1. The SA process provides a quality check on the Framework Plan and aims to ensure that the options and proposals within the document are moving towards achieving sustainable development. The SA will inform the decision making process in developing the subsequent stages of the Framework Plan. This review focuses on: • An overview of the Bude, Stratton, Flexbury and Poughill Framework Plan • The emerging Bude, Stratton, Flexbury and Poughill Framework objectives • Options for economic growth • Options for future housing growth • Options for urban extensions/new neighbourhoods • Infrastructure 2. Overview of the Bude, Stratton, Flexbury and Poughill Framework Plan The Framework Options document is the first stage of developing the Framework Plan for the Bude, Stratton, Flexbury and Poughill areas. As such it presents different options for consideration that could meet long term employment, housing, retail and mixed use requirements, it also indicates how infrastructure implications are being assessed. In summary the options document presents five options for consideration as urban extensions – one is of a potentially significant scale, three are of a relatively medium scale and one is small.

NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 173 PLATE 1 SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM Bulletin 173 CATALOG OF THE MECHANICAL COLLECTIONS OF THE DIVISION OF ENGINEERING UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM BY FRANK A. TAYLOR UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1939 For lale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 50 cents ADVERTISEMENT Tlie scientific publications of the National Museum include two series, known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin. The Proceedings series, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers, based on the collec- tions of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organi- zations and to specialists and others interested in the different sub- jects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. Tlie series of Bulletins, the first of which was issued in 1875, contains separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occasionally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, catalogs of type specimens and special collections, and other material of simi- lar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as indispensable. In the Bulletin series appear vol- umes under the heading Contrihutions from the United States Na- tional Eerharium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.
