  • St Hilary Neighbourhood Development Plan
    St Hilary Neighbourhood Development Plan Survey review & feedback Amy Walker, CRCC St Hilary Parish Neighbourhood Plan – Survey Feedback St Hilary Parish Council applied for designation to undertake a Neighbourhood Plan in December 2015. The Neighbourhood Plan community questionnaire was distributed to all households in March 2017. All returned questionnaires were delivered to CRCC in July and input to Survey Monkey in August. The main findings from the questionnaire are identified below, followed by full survey responses, for further consideration by the group in order to progress the plan.

    HELFORD Voluntary Marine Conservation Area Newsletter No. 37 Autumn 2008 Eelgrass – flourishing in the Helford The seagrass (Zostera marina) or eelgrass beds off extent of the beds has been mapped over the years Durgan Beach on the Helford are an important by various volunteers from the Helford VMCA. sub feature of the Fal and Helford SAC and the Seagrass beds are an important habitat for the juvenile of a number of fish and invertebrate species and the Helford bed is also protected by two marker buoys which help to stop visiting yachtsmen from anchoring in the bay and potentially causing damage. As part of the regular monitoring programme of the SAC, I and some volunteers from Cornwall Wildlife Trust (to whom I say a big thank you for all your efforts) came down to the Helford on the good boat EVA on the 17th July to see how the seagrass was getting on and to see if it had spread into the adjacent moorings. Although the weather was not perfect and the visibility not good, the team were able to carry out three transect swims measuring the percentage cover of the plants, makeup of the seabed and were also able to map the edges of the bed. Preliminary analysis of the data show that the seagrass is in good health and that the extent has not changed significantly from the previous survey. However, there is some evidence that the seagrass has spread slightly westwards and isolated clumps can now be found in and around the moorings. I hope that we will be able to repeat this study next and subsequent years and also include some more detailed work on both the health of the seagrass and a more accurate survey of the density and individual plant length of the grass on the Helford.

Within Mount’s Bay on the South-West coast of Cornwall, Late Quaternary marine transgressions have substantially incised faulted Late Palaeozoic sedimentary and intrusive rocks to produce a series of coves, zawns (geos) and littoral caves. Prussia and Stackhouse coves exhibit particularly good evidence for at least two former sea-level stands. Fault-controlled caves, cliff-top springs and man-made modifications, dating back to at least the late 18th Century, have produced a distinctive suite of tufa and speleothem deposits. Flowstones and coralloids, only identified in Stackhouse Cove, can be dated to the historic period. Tufa deposition predates the speleothems and the final stages of the postglacial sea level rise and has continued into the historic period. Analyses were undertaken on tufa and speleothem samples, which included coralloids, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and powder X-Ray diffraction (XRD). The analyses revealed tufas mainly composed of calcite and coralloids, associated with biofilms, containing monohydrocalcite and gypsum. 1 29 Pendarves Road, Penzance, Cornwall, TR18 2AJ, U.K. 2 8 Minster Fields, Manaccan, Helston, Cornwall, TR12 6JG.
