Geoscience in south-west England, 11, 252-254. The Wheal Martyn SSSI is a small, artificially created, outcrop of unkaolinized granite; selected to demonstrate the typical parent granite which, if kaolinized, would yield good quality china clay. Geologists involved with the china clay industry have long thought that it would be worth placing a series of boulders alongside the SSSI in order to demonstrate the wide range of the rock types to be found in china clay pits. Twelve boulders, weighing up to two tonnes, have now been brought to the site. These include the five principal granite types found in the western half of the St Austell granite, a stockscheider pegmatite, an elvan, quartz-tourmaline vein material and Wheal Remfry breccia. 46 Chatsworth Way, Carlyon Bay, St. Austell, Cornwall, PL25 3SN, U.K. THE S.S.S.I AT WHEAL MARTYN world kaolins, has just been published (Bristow, 2006).

    Cornwall Council Planning Unit 2A 2B Bess Park Road Carrick House Trenant Industrial Estate Pydar Street Wadebridge Truro Cornwall TR1 1EB PL27 6HB 29/03/2021 Tel: 01208 895576 ext. 400 Our ref: CE3405 – PR3758 To whom it may concern, Request for a formal EIA screening opinion for the erection of a single wind turbine, up to 135m to tip, on Imerys land, Land at East Karslake, Cornwall, PL26 7XS. CleanEarth (CE) are proposing to submit a planning application for a single turbine development on land at East Karslake, Imerys, Cornwall, PL26 7XS. CE seeks to gain a formal screening opinion and formal pre-planning consultee comments for this site. The provisional turbine locations are shown in drawings CE3405-SC-TL-01 and CE3405-SC-SL-01. CE has provided a detailed description of the project and evaluated this against Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) regulations to support our screening request. 1. The Development The proposal is to install a single turbine of maximum tip height 135m, with a 3-bladed rotor design. Due to constant industry developments, the turbine model has yet to be finalised. Supplementary elements include two permanent switchgear housing units (approx. 4m x 4m x 3m), temporary access track, underground cabling, and temporary crane hard standing area (approx. 45m x 65m). CE looks to develop sites that have reduced environmental impacts considering proximity, noise and visual amenity to ‘sensitive receptors’ (residential dwellings), ecological constraints, existing infrastructure, and locally designated areas and features. 1.1 Installation The turbine and other components would be delivered to the site by an articulated lorry.

Hensbarrow Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we are North revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
