Prepared for: Hayle Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group AECOM Strategic Environmental Assessment for the Scoping Report Hayle Neighbourhood Plan 1. Introduction 1.1 Background AECOM has been commissioned to undertake an independent Strategic Environmental Assessment in support of Hayle’s emerging Neighbourhood Plan. The Hayle Neighbourhood Plan is currently being prepared as a Neighbourhood Development Plan under the Localism Act 2012. The Hayle Neighbourhood Plan is being prepared in the context of the Cornwall Local Plan. It is currently anticipated that the Hayle Neighbourhood Plan will be submitted to Cornwall Council in 2017. Key information relating to the Hayle Neighbourhood Plan is presented in Table 1.1. Table 1.1: Key facts relating to the Hayle Neighbourhood Plan Name of Responsible Authority Hayle Town Council Title of Plan Hayle Neighbourhood Plan Subject Neighbourhood plan Purpose The Hayle Neighbourhood Plan is being prepared as a Neighbourhood Development Plan under the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012. The plan will be in general conformity with the Cornwall Local Plan. Timescale To 2030 Area covered by the plan The Neighbourhood Plan area covers the administrative area of Hayle Town Council. (Figure 1.1) Summary of content The Hayle Neighbourhood Plan will set out a vision, strategy and range of policies for the Neighbourhood Plan area. Plan contact point John Bennett, Chairman of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group Email address: [email protected] Phone: 01736 753184 Prepared for: Hayle Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group AECOM 1 Strategic Environmental Assessment for the Scoping Report Hayle Neighbourhood Plan 1.2 Relationship of the Hayle Neighbourhood Plan with the Cornwall Local Plan Cornwall Council is preparing a new Local Plan to replace the district Local Plans1 and the Cornwall Minerals Local Plan and the Cornwall Waste Local Plan. This will comprise a number of documents. The overarching document for the Local Plan, the Cornwall Local Plan: Strategic Policies 2010-2030 was adopted in November 2016. This set out the land use policies to meet Cornwall’s economic, environmental and social needs and aims for the future, and set the framework for all subsequent documents prepared which form part of the Local Plan. Additional documents will be prepared to accompany the Strategic Policies in due course, including a Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD). The Strategic Policies incorporates a housing target of 1,600 dwellings in Hayle during the period to 2030. It has also targeted the delivery of 19,083sqm of industrial space and 19,083sqm of office space within the wider Community Network Area to 2030. It is anticipated that the majority of this space will be delivered within or on the edge of Hayle. Cornwall Council is currently preparing a Site Allocations DPD to support the delivery of policies within the Strategic Policies. The purpose of the Allocations DPD is to allocate land for a range of uses to meet the growth targets for the main towns in Cornwall, as set out in the Strategic Policies. Sites for development included in the Allocations DPD relate to housing growth, commercial growth and enabling infrastructure. In addition, the Allocations DPD identifies strategically important employment sites that should be safeguarded, in line with Policy 5 of the Strategic Policies document. The latest version of the Allocations DPD2 was released for consultation in September 2016. It allocated the following sites: 39 ha for mixed used development at Trevassack for 950 dwellings and approximately 3,000sqm of office space;

Findings in the UK South West Marine Management Organisation (MMO) Plan Area show that different MPAs yield high value estimates and that activities are grouped in certain areas, with the Severn Estuary and surrounding Site(s) of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) attracting the most recreational anglers, despite having lower water quality. This can be explained by increased nutrient levels, which enhance biological activity and yet do not cause oxygen depletion. The yearly value of the ecosystem service of carbon sequestration and storage in the area is estimated between £16 and £62 thousand. Proximity to large urban areas and shallow waters appear to be the most appealing factors for anglers, while proximity with France can be associated with the high fishing effort in the southwest of the study area. We show that the use of a tool integrating a willingness-to-pay function with high spatial resolution layers and associated monetary values can be used for short-term marine spatial planning and management.

  • 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.

  • Cornwall Today Cornwallcornwall Today Today 108 67 Art
    ART ART seeing past ONCE UPON A TIME, DAPHNE MCCLURE was INHIBITED BY CORnwall’S ARTISTIC HERitage. NOW, SHE’S paRT OF IT Words by Alex Wade, photographs by Mike Newman/www.ocean-image.com t was in Porthleven that I really started painting. But it didn’t happen as soon as I moved there. For a while, “II couldn’t see past Peter Lanyon’s iconic image of the place. I love it, but couldn’t get it out of my mind.” Daphne McClure’s recollection of a form of artist’s block will be familiar to many artists in Cornwall. As she says, “It is difficult to paint in Cornwall. So much of the county is so paintable, and has already been painted.” The sense of Cornwall’s rich and powerful artistic heritage being a weight, rather than an inspiration, is often mentioned by artists, and for Daphne, Lanyon’s famous 1951 painting of Porthleven occluded her development until she was presented with an unexpected view of the venerable fishing port. “I was frustrated, because I couldn’t free myself of the Lanyon painting, so I returned to screen printing fabrics and sold scarves and smocks at Trelowarren,” she recalls. “I also opened a junk shop at the back of my house. With the proceeds I took a cruise up the Baltic to St Petersburg and when I returned a friend, David Edwards, who was Air Commander at Culdrose, gave me an aerial view of Porthleven. It changed my life, for there it all was – the great harbour shape cutting out the skyline.” Daphne did not look back: “I then painted Porthleven for nearly ten years.” Painting in series has since been a leitmotif for Daphne.
