Eco-communities: definition and policies 1.3 Planning policies in the last decade have been increasingly driven by climate change related targets. If the 80% target for reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is to be met by 2050 as set in the Climate Change Bill, emissions levels will have to begin to dip sharply within the life of the Cornwall Core Strategy. Despite Cornwall taking the lead in renewable energy there is still a long way to go towards achieving carbon reduction targets locally. 1.4 The drive behind eco-communities is grounded in the Government’s agenda for sustainable communities along with a parallel drive for addressing climate change issues and a need to increase the supply of housing (including affordable housing). Specific eco-communities guidance can be found in supplementary planning statement1 to PPS1. The PPS1 Supplement has served as an early mechanism that set standards for eco-communities providing very much needed guidance. 1.5 The Government’s localism agenda is shifting plan policy making towards more locally appropriate solutions chosen by communities. The first such policy on eco-communities was developed by Cornwall Council to enable it to assess the forthcoming planning application for the St Austell and Clay Area Eco-communities. Cornwall Council produced the St Austell, St Blazey, and China Clay Area Regeneration Plan in early 2011. 1.6 In the light of the existing guidance, this study set out to identify and assess sites in Cornwall that might be suitable candidates for eco-communities. In advance of an adopted Core Strategy for Cornwall and the emerging new National Planning Policy Framework, the site assessment process for new eco-communities requires a degree of flexibility in terms of what types of sites can be taken forward as suitable for eco-communities. The Call for Sites for this study therefore set a minimum threshold of 800 dwellings per site and did not limit submissions to standalone sites. Sites that could be considered as urban extensions were also welcomed. The site assessment results presented in the report clearly show that 1 PPS Eco-Towns: A Supplement to Planning Policy Statement 1, DCLG, (2009). Policies of the PPS1 Supplement on eco-towns are not covered in the Draft National Planning Framework published on 25th of July 2011. It is proposed that this document is withdrawn, however, subject to further consultation. Final Report | September 2011 1 Cornwall Core Strategy Eco-communities Study each of the shortlisted sites may fit into one of the emerging Core Strategy development options. Benefits of sustainable eco-communities 1.7 Ideally smaller new eco-communities i.e. less than 4,000-5,000 dwellings on a contiguous site, should relate to strong economic centres. Smaller sites would not be able to achieve a high degree of self-containment and would require access to employment opportunities outside the development. In the case of Cornwall, identified areas are around Newquay and St Austell, Truro, Falmouth and Penryn, and Cambourne and Redruth. The Call for Sites identified sites in proximity of all of these settlements. 1.8 High quality eco-communities may help support growth in priority green sectors. Businesses that develop and use new green technologies are capable of creating higher value products and therefore jobs. The new eco-communities will be following the St Austell and Clay Area Eco-communities and their demand for construction materials and services will further support businesses that will emerge, develop, and grow thanks to this first eco- development. They will provide a critical mass and therefore strengthen the development of low carbon construction sector in Cornwall. 1.9 Better places to live will attract new businesses to Cornwall and economic strategies tailored for each of the eco-communities may help develop sector clusters. This may be possible for those sites, which are located within existing growing economies supported by higher education provision, in particular Falmouth and Penryn and Truro. Call for Sites 1.10 The study followed 3 main stages: the Call for Sites, the development of site assessment criteria, and the assessment of sites submitted by landowners / developers. 1.11 The Call for Sites was announced by Cornwall Council during the week commencing 4th of April, 2011. Due to earlier similar call for sites carried out end of 2010 in St Austell, St Blazey, and Clay Area it was decided to exclude this area from the Call for Sites to avoid duplication. 1.12 In order to gauge the appropriateness of the site

Orrell Cllr. Wilson Cllr. Wootton Apologies: All present. In Attendance: Miss J Ritchie (Clerk) Cllr. Eathorne-Gibbons (Cornwall Council) (until point mentioned) One member of the public 1. Chairman’s Announcements 1.1 There were no Chairman’s announcements. 2. Suggestions from members of the public 2.1 One member of the public spoke regarding the Parish Council’s maintenance contract and suggested that when the contract is reviewed, the Parish Council considers the following: i) mowing verges less frequently, which would attract pollinators and by doing so play a part in alleviating the climate crisis, and ii) using a natural alternative to pesticides when treating weed growth. Discussion took place and members acknowledged the need to keep the verges clear on the visibility splays at each end of the village, while allowing natural growth. One member requested further technical information on the weedkiller alternatives. 3. Approval of the Minutes of the meeting held on 19th October 2020 3.1 The minutes of the meeting held on 19th October 2020 were approved for signing by the Chairman.

I was initially very skeptical as to why Grantscape were being brought in, but I can assure you that the reason is, as stated by REG and Grantscape, to assist others to start spending grant money. St Columb and St Wenn are the only electoral divisions to have allocated any funds to date. REG Wind Power and Grantscape stated that we are an example of how it should be done. Grantscape’s role is to oversee the procedure, and to take away the stress of the paperwork from the panel and its Chair.

    Memories of Mid Cornwall Hamlets 1920-1945 and Beyond by Mr. J. Liddicoat Reproduced by kind permission of Mr. Kenneth Liddicoat MEMORIES OF MID CORNWALL HAMLETS 1920 - 1945 and BEYOND by Mr. J. Liddicoat CHAPTER I HOME LIFE IN THE HAMLETS The tiny hamlets of Gothers and Enniscaven saw many changes both in village life and industry during the period from 1920 until the end of the Second World War in 1945. The housewife and mother of the Twenties had a harder working life than any period since, no modern aids and nearly all manual work. The floors were just smooth finish concrete with perhaps a piece of coconut matting in front of the black stove used for cooking. The stove was manufactured within the area comprising of a fireplace and underneath this an ashes box. Adjoining the fire was the oven, about the size of a modern electric stove oven. A damper was fitted to divert the heat around the oven when needed for cooking before returning to the chimney. Some stoves had a fitted smoke-jack. This enabled the top of the fire section to be used as an open fire. Those not fitted with this appliance needed a blacksmith-made smoke-jack that fitted over the fire and connected to the flue above. The ladies took great pride in keeping the stove clean, some stoves had a smooth finish and others were rougher. The stylish ones were fitted with brass knobs and hinges on the oven door, all cleaned weekly with Brasso and the body of the stove with black-lead.
