(ii) Malpas Marine Councillor Rich commented that Malpas Marine had recently been on the market. The Port of Truro borrowed money from Cornwall Council to purchase the marine (at no extra cost to taxpayers), making it an official part of the Port of Truro, which ferry companies frequently used to land. The site included a workshop, slipway and yard. Consideration was now being given to have a café on the site to generate income towards paying off the loan. (iii) Tour of Britain Councillor Rich informed Members that Cornwall Council had agreed to employ someone to create a bid to encourage the Tour of Britain (a cycling tour) to come through Cornwall in 2020 and to plan the potential routes. (iv) Taxis – Demand Survey Councillor Biscoe reported that the results from a “demand survey” for Truro’s taxis would be published soon, to reveal whether there were sufficient numbers of Hackney carriages in the area. In addition, taxi drivers still wished to access the bus gate and lanes to try and be more efficient and a meeting was being arranged between them and Cornwall Council. (v) Bus Station Refurbishment Councillor Biscoe commented that the bus station was currently being refurbished due to subsidence and that it had significantly impacted the City’s trade. Councillor Biscoe praised Wilko in Boscawen Street, who had placed seats inside their shop by the window to allow residents to sit and wait for their busses to arrive at the stop outside. 202 COUNCIL – 23 APRIL 2018 (vi) Rail Network Councillor Biscoe informed Members that a new maintenance shed was being built at Penzance station, and rail network signaling would shortly be upgraded to allow for journeys every half hour between Penzance and Plymouth (from December 2018). Councillor Biscoe felt it was important to press Network Rail for further development during their next spending period (2019-2025) for digital signaling to allow for freight to be moved by rail, and to enhance the rail network through the re-opening of various halts in the area. (vii) Riverbank Collapse Councillor Biscoe reported that the River Allen’s riverbank had collapsed at the back of Vertigo. The Environment Agency commented that it was working with contractors to resolve the issue. (viii) “Place Shaping” Consultation Councillor Biscoe reminded Members to go to the basement at 22 Lemon Street and have a look at the “Place Shaping” consultation that was currently being held.The proposed “Peventinnie” community was included, as was the former Carrick Offices site. 423 OPEN SESSION FOR ELECTORS OF TRURO Mr Peter Bailey commented that he attended the Council meeting held Monday 26 March 2018 and wished for the minutes to be changed to reflect this. 424 MINUTES The Minutes of the Meeting of the Truro City Council 26 March 2018, having been previously circulated, were taken as read and signed by the Mayor as a correct record with the following amendments (and to include the addition of Mr Peter Bailey being in attendance, as per the above minute): (i) The date in the header be amended to read “26 March 2018” (ii) Truro Roseland Community Network Panel (Minute 389) Councillor Wells reported that no resolution had been passed and therefore the resolution should be removed along with the preceding words: "Following discussion it was proposed by the Mayor and…". At the end of the paragraph “Local Place-Shaping Fora” the following should be added: “It had been agreed that the City Council's representative should report on the Truro Place-Shaping Forum." 425 MAYOR’S COMMUNICATIONS The Mayor advised that it was his last Council meeting as Mayor.

  • River Water Quality 1992 Classification by Determinand
    N f\A - S oo-Ha (jO$*\z'3'Z2 Environmental Protection Final Draft Report RIVER WATER QUALITY 1992 CLASSIFICATION BY DETERMINAND May 1993 Water Quality Technical Note FWS/93/005 Author: R J Broome Freshwater Scientist NRA CV.M. Davies National Rivers A h ority Environmental Protection Manager South West Region RIVER WATER QUALITY 1992 CLASSIFICATION BY DETERMINAND 1. INTRODUCTION River water quality is monitored in 34 catchments in the region. Samples are collected at a minimum frequency of once a month from 422 watercourses at 890 locations within the Regional Monitoring Network. Each sample is analysed for a range of chemical and physical determinands. These sample results are stored in the Water Quality Archive. A computerised system assigns a quality class to each monitoring location and associated upstream river reach. This report contains the results of the 1992 river water quality classifications for each determinand used in the classification process. 2. RIVER WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT The assessment of river water quality is by comparison of current water quality against River Quality Objectives (RQO's) which have been set for many river lengths in the region. Individual determinands have been classified in accordance with the requirements of the National Water Council (NWC) river classification system which identifies river water quality as being one of five classes as shown in Table 1 below: TABLE 1 NATIONAL WATER COUNCIL - CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CLASS DESCRIPTION 1A Good quality IB Lesser good quality 2 Fair quality 3 Poor quality 4 Bad quality The classification criteria used for attributing a quality class to each criteria are shown in Appendix 1.

  • 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.

  • Site Improvement Plan River Camel
    Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) Planning for the Future Site Improvement Plan River Camel Site Improvement Plans (SIPs) have been developed for each Natura 2000 site in England as part of the Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 sites (IPENS). Natura 2000 sites is the combined term for sites designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protected Areas (SPA). This work has been financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community. The plan provides a high level overview of the issues (both current and predicted) affecting the condition of the Natura 2000 features on the site(s) and outlines the priority measures required to improve the condition of the features. It does not cover issues where remedial actions are already in place or ongoing management activities which are required for maintenance. The SIP consists of three parts: a Summary table, which sets out the priority Issues and Measures; a detailed Actions table, which sets out who needs to do what, when and how much it is estimated to cost; and a set of tables containing contextual information and links. Once this current programme ends, it is anticipated that Natural England and others, working with landowners and managers, will all play a role in delivering the priority measures to improve the condition of the features on these sites. The SIPs are based on Natural England's current evidence and knowledge. The SIPs are not legal documents, they are live documents that will be updated to reflect changes in our evidence/knowledge and as actions get underway.

  • Cornwall Council
    Cornwall Council Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment ANNEX 5 – Chronology of Major Flood Events in Cornwall June 2011 1800 – 1899 A storm caused coastal flooding affecting a number of communities along the south coast on 19-20 January 1817. Polperro harbour was destroyed by this storm and Looe was badly damaged. Truro suffered from numerous flooding events during the 1800s (1811, 1815, 1818, 1838, 1841, 1844, 1846, 1848 (twice), 1869, 1875, 1880, 1882 (twice), 1885, 1894 and 1899). These were usually associated with high river flows coinciding with high tides. Known as the Great Flood of 16 July 1847, due to an intense rainstorm event on Davidstow Moor water collected in the valley and forced a passage of water down the Camel and Inney. Bodmin - Dunmere Valley and the whole area below Dunmere Hill was flooded by the River Camel. Dunmere Bridge was washed away as was the new 40 feet (12 m) high railway bridge. At St. Breward, bridges from Gam Bridge to Dunmere were washed away by a wall of water 12 to 18 feet (3.5-5.5 m) above normal along the River Camel. The devastating floods that swept down from Davidstow Moor washed away all but two of the bridges along the River Camel - Wadebridge and Helland being the only survivors. Serious flooding occurred in Par and St Blazey in November 1852. November 1875 saw heavy rain resulting in serious flooding in Bude, Camelford, Polmorla, Hayle, St Just, Penzance and Truro. Extreme rainfall in October 1880 resulted in serious flooding in both Bodmin and Truro. High tides at the end of September and early October 1882 resulted in flooding in Boscastle, Truro, Wadebridge and Padstow.

  • Ref: LCAA1820
    Ref: LCAA7957 Offers over £60,000 Amenity Land at Lords View, Idless, Truro, Cornwall, TR4 9QT FREEHOLD Best and final offers to be submitted by 12 noon Friday 28th February 2020 An extremely rare opportunity to acquire an approximately 1.1 acre plot of freehold amenity land (not a building plot) in a beautiful tranquil setting bordering the River Allen near to Idless Woods and just a short drive from Truro city centre. 2 Ref: LCAA7957 DESCRIPTION Located in beautiful unspoilt countryside just outside of the sought after village of Idless. The availability of Lords View represents a superb chance to purchase a large plot of amenity land which has an access and frontage to a quiet country lane on one side and borders the River Allen on the other. In total the plot is 1.1 acres, it has a gated entrance and a gravelled area of hardstanding and the rest of the plot is gently sloping with grassed areas and mature woodland. There is a chicken run, a fenced duck pond and some wood chipped pathways and it is our understanding that none of the trees within the plot have Tree Preservation Orders. Our client advises us that the land is being sold with no covenants. The owner also advises us that he has never applied for planning permission and that there will be no overage clause applied to the sale. The land enjoys peace and tranquillity and would be ideal for those with children with homes in Truro city with limited outside space or indeed those with animals or for growing home produce, etc., and of course, owning 1.1 acres in such a desirable location will always be a good investment in the medium to long term.

  • Pollution Risk Assessment and Source Apportionment: Camel Catchment
    Improvement Programme for England’s Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) – Planning for the Future IPENS008d Pollution Risk Assessment and Source Apportionment: Camel Catchment River Camel Special Area of Conservation (SAC) First published 30 October 2015 www.gov.uk/government/publications/improvement-programme-for- englands-natura-2000-sites-ipens This project is part of the IPENS programme (LIFE11NAT/UK/000384IPENS) which is financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community. Foreword The Improvement Programme for England’s Natura 2000 sites (IPENS), supported by European Union LIFE+ funding, is a new strategic approach to managing England’s Natura 2000 sites. It is enabling Natural England, the Environment Agency, and other key partners to plan what, how, where and when they will target their efforts on Natura 2000 sites and areas surrounding them. As part of the IPENS programme, we are identifying gaps in our knowledge and, where possible, addressing these through a range of evidence projects. The project findings are being used to help develop our Theme Plans and Site Improvement Plans. This report is one of the evidence project studies we commissioned. Water pollution has been identified as one of the top three issues in all Natura 2000 rivers. It also affects many terrestrial and some marine and coastal Natura 2000 sites. Diffuse water pollution is the release of potential pollutants from a range of activities that individually may have little or no discernable effect on the water environment, but at the scale of a catchment can have a significant cumulative impact. The sources of diffuse water pollution are varied and include sediment run-off from agricultural land.
