Cornwall Council is preparing a Minerals Safeguarding Development Plan Document (DPD) as part of the Local Plan. The DPD will identify those resources that are to be safeguarded from other forms of non-minerals development. The DPD supports the policies in the Cornwall Local Plan. 1.1 Purpose of this document 2. This technical report provides part of the background evidence to support the Minerals Safeguarding Development Plan Document. 3. It sets out the site profiles for the various mineral resources found within Cornwall and how those resources have been assessed to define the Mineral Safeguarding Areas. 4. The report is divided into six sections; Aggregates Building Stone China Clay Heritage Materials Metals Infrastructure 2 Buffer zones 5. The Mineral Safeguarding Areas each have different buffer zones around them; 500m around aggregates, 250m around building stone, 100m around heritage material, 250m around china clay and 500m around the principal metal shafts and 250m around secondary shafts. For infrastructure sites the safeguarding area extends around the site boundary. Table 1 Mineral Safeguarding Area Buffer Zones Mineral Resource Buffer Zone Aggregate 500m Building Stone 250m Heritage Stone 100m China clay 250m Metals 500m principal shafts 250m secondary shafts Mineral Infrastructure Site boundary 3 Resource Assessment 6. The Mineral Site Profiles evidence document should be read in conjunction with the Minerals Resource and Infrastructure Assessment evidence Mineral Site Profiles Minerals Safeguarding DPD Evidence Report Submission June 2017 3 document. This document has assessed each of the sites outlined in this document for possible inclusion as a Mineral Safeguarding Area. The overall score for each assessment is provided in each site profile. However, the Mineral Resource and Infrastructure Assessment document provides a full overview of the scoring and criteria used to assesses each site. These criteria included the scarcity of the resource, the ability to identify the resource on geological mapping, viability, the quality of the resource and the potential conflicts with other forms of development. 4 Evidence In defining the Mineral Safeguarding Areas various sources of information have been used. These sources of information are set out below and include information from the British Geological Survey, industry knowledge and other publications. In addition, regard has been paid to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Planning Practice Guidance Notes (PPG). The British Geological Society ‘Mineral resource information for development plans’1 as well as their Mineral Factsheets has been used along with information gathered for the adopted Cornwall Minerals Local Plan and mineral industry knowledge. Each year, officers carry out a schedule of visits to both active and dormant minerals sites. As part of this, a report for each site is produced and the information within these reports have been used in the production of the site profiles. These site visit reports are available on the councils website https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/environment-and- planning/planning/minerals-waste-and-renewable-energy/ A planning history search has been carried out for each of the site profiles. Information from the online planning register http://planning.cornwall.gov.uk/online-applications/ has been used. The Sustainable Use of High Specification Aggregates for skid resistant road surfacing in England, Capita Symonds Ltd report. The following has been used to assess Metalliferous sites as well as information from the Metals Evidence report and associated Appendix 1 Mine Shafts Study.

  • The Distribution of Ammonium in Granites from South-West England
    Journal of the Geological Society, London, Vol. 145, 1988, pp. 37-41, 1 fig., 5 tables. Printed in Northern Ireland The distribution of ammonium in granites from South-West England A. HALL Department of Geology, Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, Egham, Surrey TW20 OEX, UK Abstract: The ammonium contents of granites, pegmatites and hydrothermally altered rocks from SW England have been measured. Ammonium levels in the granites are generally high compared with those from other regions, averaging 36ppm,and they differ markedlybetween intrusions. The pegmatites show higherammonium contents than any other igneous rocks which have yet been investigated. Ammonium contents are strongly enriched in the hydrothermally altered rocks, includ- ing greisens and kaolinized granites. There is agood correlation between the average ammonium content of the intrusions in SW England and their initial "Sr/*'Sr ratios and peraluminosity. This relationship supports the hypothesis that the ammonium in the granites is derived from a sedimentary source, either in the magmatic source region or via contamination of the magma. Introduction Results Ammonium is present as a trace constituent of granitic The granites rocks, in which it occurs in feldspars and micas substituting isomorphously for potassium (Honma & Itihara 1981).

  • The Lees of Quethiock Cornwall Their Family History from Ancient Times
    THE LEES OF QUETHIOCK CORNWALL THEIR FAMILY HISTORY FROM ANCIENT TIMES "Brave men have lived before Agamemnon, lots of them. But on all of them - eternal night lies heavy, for they left no records behind. (`ODES` Horace 65-8BC) This is the story of those who did This is the story of my ancestors, the Lee family, who have left records behind and from which the line can be traced from Alexander and Thomas born 1994 and 1990 respectively, back to John of Legh, alive in 1433, and Richard de Leye, alive in 1327. John and Richard lived at, and took their surname from Legh, a pre-Norman settlement in Cornwall recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. Legh is situated in the present parish of Quethiock, some 5 miles west of the River Tamar and 5 miles east of Liskeard, just in the southeast corner of Cornwall. To uncover the history took ten and more years of research. So what stimulated me to commence? In 1986 I watched a television programme on early portraiture. It was explained that during the time of the Roman Empire (146BC-410AD) it was fashionable to have a statue carved of oneself together with ones father and grandfather. To illustrate this a statue from the 1st century AD was shown; I was astounded to note that it bore a likeness to my family and in particular to my brother, David Henry Lee. I immediately commented on this to my wife, Brenda, who replied `No, it is more like you`. From that moment the question lay in my mind `I look like a Roman from 2000 years ago; I have the surname of Lee which is derived from a Saxon-German word meaning pasture; my father`s family were known to have come from Cornwall and so presumably I have West Welsh Celtic blood; my mother claimed her family came from Devon and I was born in Devonport on the borders of Devon and Cornwall; so who am I? Cornwall over the millenniums had been invaded by 6 or so groups of different people; Ancient British (7000BC), Celts (700BC-63AD), Danes (800AD), Romans (63-401AD), Saxons (447-1066AD), Normans (1066).

  • East Cornwall, South Devon and Dartmoor
    EAST CORNWALL, SOUTH DEVON AND DARTMOOR The geology between Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor, including part of South Devon comprises Carboniferous and Middle Devonian metasediments of sandstones, mudstones, black shales, cherts and volcanics, all of which have been subjected to thrusting. Into these has been intruded the Bodmin and Dartmoor mass, as well as satellite stocks of Kit Hill, Hingston/Gunnislake in Cornwall and Hemerdon in Devon. Within these sediments lie stratiform manganese silicate and carbonate deposits as well as indications of lead-zinc-copper volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits. The setting is similar to the Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB) in southern Spain and Portugal. Skarn deposits with mixed copper, zinc and arsenic sulphides, and one of which has tin silicates, have formed from the same volcano-sedimentary sequences and lie on the northern edge of the Dartmoor granite near Okehampton, inside the metamorphic aureole. The granite related main-stage mineralization ranges from large copper deposits on the south-eastern corner of the Bodmin granite around Minions to a tungsten-tin stockworks at Hemerdon to the southwest of the main Dartmoor mass; to tin, tin-iron progressing eastwards into iron deposits on Dartmoor as well as placer deposits of cassiterite and woframite on Bodmin Moor. On the East side of Datmoor in the Teign Valley occurs Pb,Zn, Ba, Ag, low temperature crosscourse mineralization. On the south coast of Devon near Torquay lies the epithermal gold-palladium occurrence at Hope’s Nose, hosted in Devonian limestones. East Cornwall (Bodmin Moor to Gunnislake) The geology of this area ranges from the granites of Bodmin Moor and the small outcrops of Kit Hill and Hingston Down/Gunnislake to Devonian and Carboniferous metasediments and volcanics.

  • Word Brosyores Is Cornish for Embroideress (The Deceased Was a Bard of Cornwall)
    THE MEMORIAL INSCRIPTIONS OF CORNWALL Cofscryvow Kernow THE PARISH OF MOUNT HAWKE Towl Bedhcryvow Kernow Numerous plaques, burial ground headstones, foundation stones and formal monuments record the lives or actions of both the famous and successful as well as the ordinary person. By far the most numerous of these will be found in burial grounds, others will be located on War Memorials; inscriptions are inevitably inscribed on foundation stones of public buildings; special plaques may be erected to record an heroic or notable event or birth place; there are prominent monuments to the rich or extraordinary such as the Bassett Monument on Carn Brea or the Lander statue at the top of Lemon Street in Truro; churches and chapels as well as community buildings often have wall plaques. The majority will date from the past three hundred years but some will be very old, such as a few ancient crosses from the seventh/eight centuries recording a chieftain or important person of that time. Written records such as parish baptism, marriage and death registers, diaries, deeds, court, taxes and voting records and numerous other “paper” records are, in varying degrees of efficiency, preserved and recorded by the County Records Office and museums and transcribed, indexed and published by local historians and societies. However, numerous records of the people of Cornwall may also be found on stone, slate, marble, wood and metal. Some of these (particularly in burial grounds) have been recorded but usually in index form without a full transcript. Maps indicating locations within a burial ground are virtually nonexistent.
