Mr. Ellis Crompton-Brown Planning Officer Ref:- PA15/05327 Planning and Enterprise Service Cornwall Council Circuit House Pydar Street Truro TR1 1ES Dear Mr. Crompton - Brown I write to state my support to the proposed solar PV development, associated landscaping and habitat creation, at land Immediately East of Junction between Pilgrims Way and Bunkers Hill Pilgrims Way Fraddam Cornwall, application planning number PA15/05327. I understand that the Appeal Inspector and the Secretary of State have considered all the planning policies relating to this proposal and found them all met with the exception of one. However having considered the only reason for refusal and I feel that the amendments provided by the applicant more than cover the Appeal Inspectors and the Secretary of States concern about amenity at the residences in the North West corner of the proposed site. This is a good site for such a Solar Development as it is accepted by both the Appeal Planning Inspector and the Secretary of State that it is discrete within the landscape, and has very limited views by the public on a daily basis. There is a firm belief, that if the Mably best practice ethos was available four years ago, there would be fewer but better quality solar developments within Cornwall, as many would not have met such exacting criteria. Yours faithfully Mably Solar Amended Planning Application Number PA15/05327 Amended Application with development pulled back Original Application Refused permission due to proximity to Residences in North West Corner into the field within the topography and with guidance of Cornwall Council Planning department 1. The original application was turned down by the Appeal Inspector and the Secretary of State for just one reason, close proximity to the residences in the North West Corner with possible effects on their Amenity, this has now been fully addressed 2. All other reasons of Heritage, Landscape, Views from Godolphin and all surrounding areas were considered the planning inspector and the Secretary of State and deemed to be acceptable due to the screening provided and distance from those features 3. The use of 8.9 ha of BMV land was considered acceptable by Appeal inspector and Secretary of State. This amended application uses less than 6ha to create 5MW of energy 4. The Community Benefits on offer previously have been scaled to the revised site and now also includes 3 x free solar installations for Parish Councils 5. The amended scheme includes community ownership and allows local people to invest into the development through a Community Share offering arranged by Community Power Cornwall whose establishment was supported by Cornwall Council 6. The amended scheme has provided a new Public Right of Way linking the Parishes of Crowan to St Erth 7. The scheme will continue to work with local colleges to provide training and high quality apprenticeships to the local population 8. The Environmental benefits are secured and enhanced with even more tree planting, and the provision of an educational walkway around the site. 9. The project will be built with local Cornish Labour 10. The project will be maintained by local Cornish Labour 11. The project will be secured by local Cornish Labour .

Roadside Hedges and Verges in Cornwall
ROADSIDE HEDGES AND VERGES IN CORNWALL Copyright Robin Menneer 2008 History of roadside hedges / old roads & enclosures / pack-horse & slide / turnpike hedges / verges - the “long meadow” / walking on top of hedges / hedge & highway responsibilities / hedges alongside private roads and ramps / hedge trimming & road repairs / modern road traffic and hedges / traffic pollution / current roadside hedge management. There are over four and a half thousand miles of roads in Cornwall, so there are roughly 9,000 miles of hedges alongside them. Highways and hedges are inextricably wedded, physically and historically. As the land was enclosed, hedges were built beside the existing tracks, and as new lanes and roads evolved, new hedges were built alongside them. Again, as the traffic using them changed, many of the roads and their hedges were altered to meet the new demand. Roadside hedges make up roughly one third of the total of hedges in the county. Of these, nearly 1,000 miles of hedge are along main roads, nearly 4,000 miles along second class and minor roads, many of them narrow lanes, and over 4,000 miles along unclassified ways. This abundance in Cornwall of ancient roads, lanes and tracks contradicts old exaggerations about the self-sufficiency and isolation of hamlets within a country parish. Typically Pelynt parish, with a circumference of twelve miles, has some forty miles of road, lane and footpath. Its number of farms and tenements, only a handful today, numbered 31 in 1957 and over 100 in 1812. Transporting goods and animals was time-consuming, and it was an advantage for a parish to have an intricate system of highways so that distances to be travelled were as short as possible.
