Parry declared a disclosable pecuniary interest in relation to item 8.2. being an agent contracted to market land at the application site. 2. 10 MINUTE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PERIOD for public comment on the items below: A member of the public addressed the Meeting regarding recent flooding at Keveral Gardens and Keveral Lane, Downderry. C. Cllr. R. Pugh was thanked for his help in securing help from a local land owner to clear up after the flooding. It was suggested that work would be required to avert future flooding including increasing drainage to cope with rainwater from a gulley that ran down from Struddicks Farm, Looe Hill to Keveral Gardens and to provide larger pipes to contain water flowing through the culverts at the bottom of Keveral Gardens. The Parish Council was asked to consider producing a contingency plan for future events of flooding. The Parish Council was asked to investigate responsibility for the maintenance of Keveral Lane. A second member of the public spoke in favour of planning application PA12/11578 Sunnyside, Brenton Road, Downderry (Item 8.2.2.), citing reasons including the poor state of repair of the exiting dwelling, the need to accommodate a sick relative, the fact that the new build would incorporate environmentally sustainable features and the support the project would provide for local employment. A third member of the public spoke objecting to planning application PA12/11392, Plot 1, Land Adjacent 40 Buttlegate, Downderry( Item 8.2.1.), stating that while he had no objection to development of the site he was concerned by the proposed creation of an additional entrance to the Highway near to a dangerous bend on Buttlegate. Concern was also expressed that the additional drive would increase rain water run-off onto Buttlegate thereby adding to the risk of flooding of properties on the Main Road. There being no further requests to address the meeting, the Chair closed the public participation period. 3. APOLOGIES: Apologies had been received from:- Cllrs. J. P. Candy, D. T. Parry, P.C.

The Clerk was instructed to write formerly requesting this permission. Cllr. Ratsey continued that once this submission had been made a six week consultation period would take place. Officer support from Cornwall Council to help with formulating the plan should be available. A series of public engagement sessions would be held to gain ideas and feedback. A minimum of 50% of local voters was required to enable the plan to be adopted. The planning group felt that it would be best to keep the plan as short as possible in order to increase the likelihood of successful adoption. 10.3.

    Magazine of the St. Germans and Deviock Parishes & Councils Volume 32 (4) June 2018 Nature A warm afternoon in the Seaton Valley in mid May enabled me to familiarize myself again with a few insects in the family Odonata, in other words dragonflies and damselflies. The latter are small and delicate but with patience there were four species to observe. The Large Red Damselfly is the earliest of the group to emerge and I usually find it in April. Some pairs were ovipositing. Next came the Azure Damselfly, the males of which are variegated blue and black, and the generally dark Blue-tailed Damselfly. The most striking of the four was the Beautiful Demoiselle, a larger species with a blue-green metallic body. It is a feature of unpolluted, fast-flowing streams though it was found along the path not too far away from the river. The only dragonfly encountered was the Four-spotted Chaser, much larger than the damselflies, and found well away from water. Soon I hope to see the impressive, black and yellow Golden-ringed Dragonfly, which often occurs along country lanes and is quite able to eat the occasional bumblebee. Alan Payne Seaton Butterfly garden. We are down to two volunteers, and we have been doing as much as we can, but it is not enough to keep this garden from becoming overgrown, and just grass and weeds. We would like some volunteers to come forwards to help, we would like anyone who can spare an hour or two to come and join us to clear up this lovely haven.

    Magazine of the St. Germans and Deviock Parishes & Councils March 2021 - Volume 35 (12) [email protected] Nature Notes Keeping local for your recreation may be restrictive but there are obvious advantages. You get used to particular habitats, especially what is in your garden, you know what to expect and you appreciate the subtle changes. It is also surprising how much you can see in a small area close to home. At some time in the day, I can almost guarantee Herring Gulls and Jackdaws on neighbours’ roofs, whilst in the garden I have attracted a couple of Blackbirds and Robins to feed on cheese on the window sill. The Blue Tits are already prospecting the nest box, whilst Dunnock, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Wren and Chaffinch are regulars. Wood Pigeon and Collared Dove may fly over the garden but observing other birds requires a bit of good fortune. Even common residents such as House Sparrow and Goldfinch are not regular, yet in a neighbour’s garden the opposite is true. On one day recently, I set out to discover how many species I could observe in a few hours without too much effort. I checked the local hedgerows in Downderry, where Long- tailed Tit, Goldcrest, Bullfinch and Blackcap were good finds, before venturing on to the beach. The surface of the sea was flat which meant it was easy to pick out seabirds such as Kittiwake, Fulmar, Gannet, Shag and Cormorant, but a raft of Razorbills was a welcome sighting close inshore. There was one Great Northern Diver too, a winter visitor from Iceland.
