Coast Review Paper St Austell, St Blazey and China Clay Area Regeneration Plan Coast Review - 2010 Introduction The purpose of this paper is not to comprehensively repeat existing evidence but to point to it and draw out any place specific issues for the St Austell, St Blazey and China Clay Area Regeneration Plan area (hereafter referred to as the Plan area). This paper should be read in conjunction with the Core Strategy topic paper ‘Coast and Maritime’, which sets out a number of key messages with regard to the coast generally – this is available at www.cornwall.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=22887 . These will be important considerations for the Regeneration Plan but are not repeated here. Key issues Key overarching issues for the coast generally as identified in the Core Strategy Coast and Maritime issues paper are: • To consider opportunities for: - The regeneration of coastal towns and how ports and harbours can be developed and supported. - The protection and enhancement of natural and historic habitats and features (terrestrial and marine). • Address sea level rise. Plan Area issues 1. Protection of undeveloped coast. 2. Protection and enhancement of the AONB – including the part of the AONB within the plan area (i.e. Black Head/Pentewan area south of Porthpean ) and any impacts on area of AONB adjoining the plan area. 3. Need to Balance of recreation/tourism/development opportunities and pressures with need to safeguard character, quality, diversity, and local distinctiveness of natural and historic environment and the undeveloped coast. 4. Flooding issues (see Flooding Review paper re flooding risk at Par, St Blazey and Pentewan). 5. Implications of sea level rise and coastal change 1. Need to consider identification of Coastal Change Management Areas. Draft SMP2 suggests Par and possibly Pentewan. Local authorities are required by PPS25 supplement to identify areas likely to be affected by physical changes to the coast and identify theses as Coastal Change Management Areas. Local Planning Authorities are required to set out plans for these areas regarding location/relocation of development to secure long term sustainable future of coastal. Particular issues will be management of the natural migration process of par dunes – consideration of future of Par Sands holiday park, and coastal squeeze issues. 6. Future role of Par Harbour. Retention of china clay processing uses at Par docks is required. Need to ensure any surrounding uses/development are planned as to enable china clay processing uses to proceed without conflict. 7. Future use of Charlestown Harbour. 1 Coastal change is defined as in PPS25 Supplement as physical change to the shoreline, i.e. erosion, coastal landslip, permanent inundation and coastal accretion. 1 8. Protection of Outstanding Universal Value of World Heritage Site at Charlestown; and Conservation Areas at Pentewan and Charlestown. 9. Consider whether there is a need to define coastal zone (see Core Strategy Topic Issues Paper - Coast and Maritime). 10. Further ecological assessment required to ensure conservation of terrestrial, inter- tidal and sub-tidal habitats. There is a Local Nature Reserve at Par. There are marine and coastal Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) habitats present in the area, such as mudflats, sand dunes, eelgrass which could be affected by any regeneration proposals and would in most instances need to be compensated for with like for like habitats. 11. Need to avoid pollution of coastal waters. 12.Need to maintain and improve coastal access (Marine and Coastal Access Act). Key messages Message Relevant Documents/ref 1. PDZ 3 Gribbin Head to Black Head -some sensitivity Draft SMP2 ch4 PDZ3 p6 to sea level rise, with most beaches being constrained by hard cliffs or hard defences – a situation which will increase pressure and result in coastal squeeze with a subsequent narrowing of the beach and a steepening of the beach slope. Par 2. LDF to identify Par Sands areas as a Coastal Change Draft SMP2 (Action plan- Management Area 6.3) 3. The already significant flood risks at Par will be Draft SMP2 ch 4 PDZ3 p 15 exacerbated in the future due to sea level rise Cornwall Sand Dune study, 4. Careful management of the dune system at Par will in Draft SMP2 ch4 PDZ3 p15 be necessary in order to prevent inundation of the low lying land behind. Dunes and beach at Par likely to be able to adapt to climate change and unlikely to experience significant problems in the short to medium term. 5. The land use planning system will need to consider Draft SMP2 ch4 PDZ3 p15 the value of the par holiday park in situ versus the constraints it will place upon a natural migration of the dune system. The value of the area as a UK BAP Habitat must be acknowledged and potential enhancement of the site could be achieved through expanding the area which is available for the dunes to migrate within. 6. At western end of Par Dunes historic landfill site Draft SMP2 ch 4 PDZ3 p 15 could possibly be impacted upon by erosion by 2105. 7. Investigate landfill risks and identify possible Draft SMP2 ch 4 PDZ3 p17 strategy for Managed Retreat and Dune roll back into hinterland. 8. Par Docks preferred policy - some realignment to Draft SMP2 ch 4 PDZ3 p17 allow for sea level rise and to improve longer term sustainability should be considered in line with Par sands and to move towards a non-interventional frontage. 9. Future development/adaptation of Par Docks could Draft SMP ch4 p6 affect coastal processes and Par Beach 2 10.Presence of Imerys haulage route into par docks will Draft SMP2 ch 4 PDZ3 p 15 require consideration – could dictate position of future defence line or may require re-routing. 11.The future of par as a commercial handling port is Fowey/Par Bulk Transport severely limited because of the depth of water. Study, 2009, MDS Export of secondary aggregate alone is unlikely to Transmodal provide a sustainable business. 12.Dredging of the port in itself is not a solution in itself and would necessitate renewal of the quay wall to match the new dredged depth. 13.Investment in Par unlikely whilst Fowey has potential to meet all demand for shipments of secondary aggregates without the need for capital investment at least in the short term Ecological assessment of 14.Coastal zone at Par Sands experiences significant Coastal Zone Management pressure from recreation and sets out Issues at par Sands, recommendations for management and nature Cornwall 2005.

In view of anticipated & p25 development proposals – a suitable position for any permanent defensive line (which would need to be established to protect any development) would be critical to the long term sustainability of the foreshore.

  • SMP2 6 Final Report
    6 ACTION PLAN 6.1 Coastal risk management activities The Action Plan for the Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Shoreline Management Plan review provides the basis for taking forward the intent of management which is discussed and developed through Chapter 4 - and summarised through the preferred policy choices set out in Chapter 5. The SMP guidance states that the purpose of the Action Plan is to summarise the actions that are required before the next review of the SMP however in reality the Action Plan is looking much further into the future in order to provide guidance on how the overall management intent for 100 years may be taken forward. For Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly SMP the Action Plan is a critical element, because there are various conditional policies for later epochs which need to be more firmly established in the future based on monitoring and investigation. The Action Plan can set the framework for an on-going shoreline management process in the coming years, with SMP3 in 5 to 10 years time as the next important milestone. This chapter therefore attempts to capture all intended actions necessary, on a policy unit by policy unit basis, to deliver the objectives at a local level. It should also help to prioritise FCRM medium and long-term planning budget lines. A number of the actions are representative of on-going commitments across the SMP area (for example to South West Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme). There are also actions that are representative of wide-scale intent of management, for example in relation to gaining a better understanding of the roles played by the various harbours and breakwaters located around the coast in terms of coast protection and sea defence.

Please note that the strategic growth for the settlement of St Blazey/Par has been incorporated in the growth factors analysis for St Austell as they have been explored together as part of the preparation of the regeneration plan. Each ‘Profile’ is split into three sections: Policy Objectives, Infrastructure & Environmental Considerations and Socio-Economic Considerations. Summaries have been provided to indicate what the key facts might mean in terms of the need for growth – and symbols have been used as follows to give a quick overview: Supports the case for future No conclusion reached/ Suggests concern over growth neutral factor/further future growth evidence required St Blazey, Fowey & Lostwithiel Overview: The St Blazey, Fowey & Lostwithiel Community Network Area contains 11 parishes and a range of settlements. St Blazey/Par, Fowey and Lostwithiel are the key settlements within this area, and acts as the local service centres to the smaller settlements surrounding them. Larger villages in the area include Tywardreath and Luxulyan. Most of the CNA is an area of 'conservative' farming landscapes, dominated by anciently enclosed land, medieval field systems, scattered settlements with just a few larger villages, and several large, old-established estates with houses and parks (Boconnoc, Menabilly, and Lanhydrock) 1.
