Section 1: Activation Site Specific External Emergency Plan – V1.1 Official 1 Newlyn Downs Explosives Depot CONTROL OF MAJOR ACCIDENT HAZARDS REGULATIONS 2015 (COMAH) SITE-SPECIFIC EXTERNAL EMERGENCY PLAN SITE ADDRESS: Redcliffe Shipping (Part of the Charles Kendall Group) Newlyn Downs Explosives Depot Fiddler’s Green St Newlyn East Newquay Cornwall TR8 5NJ LOCAL AUTHORITY: Cornwall Council ORDNANCE SURVEY GRID REFERENCE: E183253, N054500 Site Specific External Emergency Plan – V1.1 Official 2 Introduction This is the External Emergency Plan (COMAH) for the Newlyn Downs Explosives Storage facility. The plan details how we will respond to an off-site incident at the site, and will work in conjunction with the sites own on site safety and emergency plan; which will be invoked if an incident occurs, on or off site. The plan will be validated and regularly exercised by the site operator and responding organisations, and will be maintained by Cornwall Council Resilience & Emergency Management. The private and business addresses within the defined Public Information Zone (PIZ) have received consultation letters and details of where they can access the public version of the plan, which contains the recommended actions on becoming aware of an incident relating to the Newlyn Downs site. Pre-Warning information to public within PIZ Redcliffe International provides members of the public living or working within the PIZ with information on safety measures at the establishment, and on the requisite behaviour in the event of a major accident at site. The immediate actions that should be taken by persons living or working in the PIZ are “GO IN, STAY IN, TUNE IN” details below: (a) Go/stay indoors and close all windows and doors; (b) Switch off all systems which may draw in air from outside; (c) Remain indoors and await further instructions; and (d) Switch on the local radio station for announcements. Preface Redcliffe Explosives Storage Depot at Newlyn Downs, Cornwall occupies a 12 acre site and has security approvals from the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) and Devon & Cornwall Police. This is one of the most advanced secure magazine sites in the UK. It offers secure and licensed storage for 181.3 tonnes of class 1.1 and Section 5 restricted explosives or weapons, offering consolidated shipment of bulk explosives and just-in-time deliveries. • Licensed by HSE for 181,000 Kgs NEC class 1.1 • 5 mounded magazines each 15.75 x 6.7 x 3m • 1 Hornsby and Goodwin detonator store • Total useable floor space 5,500 Sq. ft. per magazine • Approximately 200 pallets per magazine (double-stacked) • Secure fenced site • Fitted with alarm and security systems approved by Police Explosives and Firearms department • Firearms Act Section 5 storage is available. Site Specific External Emergency Plan – V1.1 Official 3 The site is used to bulk store a range of packaged explosives as substances, preparations and/or explosive articles. Materials are transported & stored as classified by the HSE/ESTC and detailed in Appendix 3. The explosives storage facility consists of six above ground magazines, comprising five concrete monolith construction magazines, with entry to each of these magazines being through a single adit secured with steel doors. In addition, there is a small single Hornsby and Goodwyn type wooden lined steel container, currently used for the storage of detonators. Each building is licensed for the storage of explosives within Hazard Types 1, 2, 3 & 4 subject to the normal explosive compatibility rules. There is no licensing provision for the processing of explosives on site. In addition to the licensed storage magazines, the site includes a welfare facility, and a non-explosive steel shipping container for the storage of the forklift truck (FLT) and other site assets. The site occupies a total area of approx. 4 hectares. There is CCTV on site and this is managed and monitored by Securiguard. The single-point access to the site is via a privately-owned single track road, which is shared with a small car repair garage, windfarm generators and the neighbouring farmer. The lane leads from the B3285, with no vehicular route beyond the explosives storage site, although it is designated for public access as a footpath. The closest site of regular activity is a garage and car repair workshop at the junction of the B3285, which has approximately three people working on a daily basis, and is sited beyond the safeguarding Inhabited Building Distance (IBD). The adjacent windfarm is owned and controlled by Scottish Power, and has a permanent staff of 3 people who may be present on a daily basis at their control building, which is also sited beyond IBD. The surrounding farm land is given over to a mixture of arable crops and animal grazing use. The village of St Newlyn East lies approximately one mile to the north, and has a population of about 1635 (source: 2011 census). There is a miniature heritage steam railway (Lappa Valley Steam Railway) and golf course 0.6 miles at its closest point, to the north-east, and is operated as a tourist attraction. The entrance, car park and visitor buildings for this railway are located at 1.75 miles from the site. Again, this is situated beyond the safeguarding IBD. The nearest town is Newquay at 7 miles distant. To the north, south and east of the storage site, the land has been designated as a Special Area of Conservation, and a Site of Special Scientific Interest, owing to the presence of Dorset Heath (erica ciliaris) growing. Site Specific External Emergency Plan – V1.1 Official 4 Risks There are a number of scenarios covering the major risks to the site and these are categorised at Appendix 2. For each scenario a risk assessment has been undertaken for what might be produced in terms of volume and constituents of gases produced, and how they would dissipate once released. Concrete debris from a catastrophic blast covering an area up to 500 metres (mainly farmland) is anticipated. There is a public footpath running to the rear of the site, which is used fairly infrequently and the walkers and local farmers are considered transient for the purposes of this plan.

Categories of declarations There are three defined categories of emergency declaration that can occur at Redcliffe International Ltd Newlyn Downs Depot. The different categories allow for a proportionate response to the situation, ensuring that all necessary parties are notified: (See diagram below) 1. Site Incident 2. Off-Site Incident (non-COMAH) 3. Off-Site COMAH Incident The plan will be fully or partially activated without delay when the following has been declared: • Off-Site Incident (non-COMAH) • Off-Site COMAH Incident This plan will be activated without delay when: • A major accident occurs; or • An uncontrolled event occurs which could be reasonably expected to lead to a major accident. Responsibility for activating the plan: The identification and assessment for activating the plan is primarily the responsibility of the Site Main Controller. Dependent on the incident this may be in liaison with category 1 responders attending the scene. Should there be no-one on site at the time of an incident then any of the responding “blue light” services may request activation of this plan. Note – during unmanned hours site staff would be notified by CCTV Company if a blast occurred, via the linked alarm. If the notification comes from a member of the public into the emergency services the following actions will take place: 1. Confirmation call to other blue lights 2.

  • South West River Basin District Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment
    South West river basin district Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment March 2016 Executive summary The Flood Risk Management Plan (FRMP) for the South West River Basin District (RBD) provides an overview of the range of flood risks from different sources across the 9 catchments of the RBD. The RBD catchments are defined in the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) and based on the natural configuration of bodies of water (rivers, estuaries, lakes etc.). The FRMP provides a range of objectives and programmes of measures identified to address risks from all flood sources. These are drawn from the many risk management authority plans already in place but also include a range of further strategic developments for the FRMP ‘cycle’ period of 2015 to 2021. The total numbers of measures for the South West RBD FRMP are reported under the following types of flood management action: Types of flood management measures % of RBD measures Prevention – e.g. land use policy, relocating people at risk etc. 21 % Protection – e.g. various forms of asset or property-based protection 54% Preparedness – e.g. awareness raising, forecasting and warnings 21% Recovery and review – e.g. the ‘after care’ from flood events 1% Other – any actions not able to be categorised yet 3% The purpose of the HRA is to report on the likely effects of the FRMP on the network of sites that are internationally designated for nature conservation (European sites), and the HRA has been carried out at the level of detail of the plan. Many measures do not have any expected physical effects on the ground, and have been screened out of consideration including most of the measures under the categories of Prevention, Preparedness, Recovery and Review.

  • 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 & Isles of Scilly Landscape Character Study
    CORNWALL AND ISLES OF SCILLY LANDSCAPE CHARACTER STUDY Overview and Technical Report Final Report May 2007 Forward The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Landscape Character Study 2005-2007 has been developed as a joint project between the local authorities in Cornwall, the National Trust and the AONB units of Cornwall, the Tamar Valley and the Isles of Scilly supported by the Countryside Agency (now Natural England). Diacono Associates in conjunction with White Consultants were appointed in 2005 to undertake a Landscape Character Assessment for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. This updates the Cornwall Landscape Assessment published in 1994. This report sets out the methodology by which Landscape Character Areas have been identified, based on Landscape Description Units, and brings together the main findings of the study including the initial consultation stages. Part of the study included an assessment of landscape sensitivity at the level of the Landscape Description Units. This aspect of the study is however to be the subject of further investigation and the findings set out in this report have not therefore been endorsed at this stage by the participating organisations. This report will form the basis of a number of areas of further research and investigation including landscape sensitivity, and seascape assessment as well as the further consultation on the draft Landscape Character Area Descriptions.

  • Appendix C. What Internationally Designated Nature Conservation Sites Lie Close to My Airport?
    APPENDIX C. WHAT INTERNATIONALLY DESIGNATED NATURE CONSERVATION SITES LIE CLOSE TO MY AIRPORT? This appendix shows maps of English airports and their nearest European sites (Special Protection Areas, Special Areas of Conservation and Ramsar sites). The airports are in alphabetical order. The appendix is based on Natural England’s interactive mappipng website Nature on the Map . Unfortunately, no similar websites exists for Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. The maps suggest that, based on distance to the European site alone , the following airports have the greatest potential to affect the integrity of European sites: • Blackpool • Bournemouth • Heathrow • Liverpool John Lennon • Lydd / Ashford • Southampton and to a lesser extent: • Manston / Kent • Southend. The information in this document is to the best of our knowledge, but we strongly recommend that you use Nature on the Map to confirm details for ‘your’ airport. The integrity of many of the European sites within 15km of an airport will not be affected by airport development; and conversely some sites further away than 15km from an airport might be affected by development at that airport. Please contact AEF if you have more up to date information, or information on other airports/airfields and would like us to include it in this file.
