They are given the pieces of information as small cards in an envelope (they’ll need to be printed out and cut up). They are given 12 minutes to sort these in any ways they want. They need to decided which pieces of information are useful and which are not, so they could simply make two piles. Or they could categorise the information (people/places/dates/reasons), or any other ways they feel might help.

  • Things to Consider When Visiting Treffry Viaduct As with All Off – Site Visits, a Preliminary Visit from the Class Teacher / Leader Is Highly Recommended
    Things to consider when visiting Treffry Viaduct As with all off – site visits, a preliminary visit from the class teacher / leader is highly recommended. Following on from our workshops here, we have detailed below things we hope you will find useful when planning your visit. Getting to Treffry Viaduct Treffry viaduct is half a mile South East of Luxulyan and approximately 4 miles North of St. Austell. To get a complete sense of the Luxulyan valley and the industrial features there we advise starting the exploration at Pont’s Mill where there is a drop off carpark and walking through the Valley until you reach the viaduct. This will be the end of your journey and is near another small car park outlined below- If you don’t have time to walk up from Ponts Mill or have complications with transport, then you can always start at the viaduct and explore from here. Our experience - the main challenges The Luxulyan Valley and the Treffry Viaduct is a fascinating site that will really make children think about the challenges Joseph Treffry had to overcome in order to achieve his dream at this particular time in history. It is littered with industrial archaeology which will help the children refer back to the game they played on the first day of this project. The Valley, as a natural space is beautiful all year round with plenty of opportunities for the identification and recording of natural species. The main challenges we found when planning a visit were lack of toilets and access for children with mobility issues.

    Luxulyan Neighbourhood Development Plan 2018 - 2030 Produced by the Luxulyan Neighbourhood Development Plan Steering Group 9th May 2019 Page | 1 CONTENTS 1.0 Introduction 2.0 The Neighbourhood Development Plan Process 3.0 Guidelines 4.0 Description of the Parish 5.0 View of the Community 6.0 Vision and aims 7.0 Housing Requirement 8.0 Policies 9.0 Local Landscape Character 10.0 Evidence Documents and Background Reference Page | 2 1. Introduction 1.1 Neighbourhood planning gives the Luxulyan community direct power to develop a shared vision and to shape the development and growth of the local area. The community are able to choose if, and where they want new homes to be built, have their say on what those new homes should look like and what infrastructure should be provided, and directly influence the grant of planning permission for the new homes they want to see go ahead. 1.2 A Neighbourhood Development Plan concerns the future development in the Parish. It is also about the use of land and the environment. The plan must take into account what local people want and can only be approved once a local referendum has taken place. The neighbourhood development plan will form part of the statutory Development Plan for the Parish and therefore planning decisions need to be made in accordance with the neighbourhood development plan. 1.3 The creation of a Neighbourhood Development Plan is part of the government’s approach to planning, as contained in the Localism Act 2011. 1.4 Luxulyan Parish Council applied to Cornwall Council, on 4th June 2016, to designate the Parish as a “Neighbourhood Area.” Cornwall Council formally designated the Neighbourhood Area on 4th August 2016 in accordance with the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012.

    5k Environmentol Protection Report WATER QUALITY MONITORING LOCATIONS 1992 April 1992 FW P/9 2/ 0 0 1 Author: B Steele Technicol Assistant, Freshwater NRA National Rivers Authority CVM Davies South West Region Environmental Protection Manager HATER QUALITY MONITORING LOCATIONS 1992 _ . - - TECHNICAL REPORT NO: FWP/92/001 The maps in this report indicate the monitoring locations for the 1992 Regional Water Quality Monitoring Programme which is described separately. The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a. EC Dangerous Substances Directive b. EC Freshwater Fish Water Quality Directive c. DOE Harmonised Monitoring Scheme d. DOE Red List Reduction Programme c.

  • Notes on Mining Leats” British Mining No.37, NMRS, Pp.19-45
    BRITISH MINING No.37 BRITISH MINING No.37 MEMOIRS 1988 Bird, R.H. 1988 “Notes on Mining Leats” British Mining No.37, NMRS, pp.19-45 Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1988. ISSN 0309-2199 NOTES ON MINING LEATS R.H. Bird “.... the means of putting to work many mines that would otherwise remain unworked, or if worked, could not be worked with profitable results.” Absalom Francis. 1874. SYNOPSIS Watercourses supplying mining works have been in use for centuries but their complexity increased during the 19th century, particularly in mining districts which were remote from coal supplies used for steam engines but which had sufficient river systems (or streams) of a dependable nature. Their role in Britain’s mining areas is discussed, with examples from overseas locations. An attempt is made to outline their construction methods and costs. In an age when water power reigned supreme and, indeed, for some time thereafter, mills and manufacturing industries were dependant on a steady supply of water to drive that prime mover, the water wheel. Flour mills, fulling mills and the early ferrous metal industries were sited next to reliable river or stream courses and could thus utilise this water source with little difficulty. Sometimes, the configuration of the stream was inconveniently placed for the mill site and the miller was forced to construct a ditch, from a dam upstream of his mill, and by this, lead the water to his wheel. After driving the wheel, the water was returned to the stream directly or through another ditch, the tailrace.

  • Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management
    Appendix A - Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has overall responsibility for flood risk management in England. Their aim is to reduce flood risk by: • discouraging inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding. • encouraging adequate and cost effective flood warning systems. • encouraging adequate technically, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable flood defence measures. The Government’s Foresight Programme has recently produced a report called Future Flooding, which warns that the risk of flooding will increase between 2 and 20 times over the next 75 years. The report produced by the Office of Science and Technology has a long-term vision for the future (2030 – 2100), helping to make sure that effective strategies are developed now. Sir David King, the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government concluded: “continuing with existing policies is not an option – in virtually every scenario considered (for climate change), the risks grow to unacceptable levels. Secondly, the risk needs to be tackled across a broad front. However, this is unlikely to be sufficient in itself. Hard choices need to be taken – we must either invest in more sustainable approaches to flood and coastal management or learn to live with increasing flooding”. In response to this, Defra is leading the development of a new strategy for flood and coastal erosion for the next 20 years. This programme, called “Making Space for Water” will help define and set the agenda for the Government’s future strategic approach to flood risk. Within this strategy there will be an overall approach to the assessing options through a strong and continuing commitment to CFMPs and SMPs within a broader planning framework which will include River Basin Management Plans prepared under the Water Framework Directive and Integrated Coastal Zone Management.
