I also act as the assistant to a leading Queens Counsel in such public inquiries. 1.4 NRWT also commissioned Dr Tim Reed, a leading ecologist, to review the ecological issues involved in this application. Dr Reed’s review is at Appendix 11 of this NRWT response and a summary of his review is at section 9.1. 1.5 NRWT objects to the proposal for the Bridgemoor turbine for the reasons set out in this response and requests that planning permission be refused. 2 Executive Summary 2.1 The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure and Section 62A Applications) (England) (Amendment) Order 2013 (the DMPO) makes it a legal requirement to carry out public consultation before a planning application is submitted for any development that comprises more than two wind turbines or if the hub height of any turbine exceeds 15m. 2.2 The applicant held a number of consultation events and has detailed the responses made. However there was a failure to provide particulars of the account, if any, that was taken of those responses in the preparation of the planning application. 2.3 The applicant has failed to comply with the legal requirements, meaning that by section 327 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 the Council is not able to entertain the application and so cannot grant planning permission. 2.4 Should the Council grant planning permission for this application then that decision would be open to a legal challenge. 2.5 On 18 June 2015 the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government issued a written ministerial statement (WMS) which stated inter alia that: When determining planning applications for wind energy development involving one or more wind turbines, local planning authorities should only grant planning permission if: • the development site is in an area identified as suitable for wind energy development in a Local or Neighbourhood Plan; and • following consultation, it can be demonstrated that the planning impacts identified by affected local communities have been fully addressed and therefore the proposal has their backing. 2.6 It is clear that, under the terms of the WMS, the Council can only grant planning permission if the development site is in an area identified as suitable for wind energy development in the Local Plan or a Neighbourhood 2 Plan and that following consultation, it can be demonstrated that the planning impacts identified by affected local communities have been fully addressed and therefore the proposal has their backing. 2.7 The Local Plan in force at this time is the Caradon Local Plan which does not identify areas suitable for wind energy development. The Emerging Cornwall Local Plan similarly fails to identify areas suitable for wind energy development. 2.8 In addition the of level objections from members of the communities and from the host Parish Council clearly shows that the planning impacts identified by the local community have not been fully addressed and that the proposal clearly does not have the backing of the local community. 2.9 Consequently under the terms of the WMS the Council cannot grant planning permission for this proposal. 2.10 Notwithstanding the apparent attempts by the applicant to under-assess the landscape and visual impacts of the proposal, the effects on the surrounding landscape, including the AONB, along with the visual effects on a large number of dwellings, and also the failure by the applicant to assess the effects on the AGLV within which the turbine would be sited, mean that planning permission should be refused. 2.11 Shadow throw is the effect caused by the shadows of the turbine blades moving across the ground and can affect people enjoying their external areas and also farmers working their land. Shadow throw is closely related to shadow flicker but is much more difficult to mitigate. 2.12 NRWT considers that the effects of shadow throw on third party landowners are sufficient to warrant refusal of planning consent. The Council should also consider the fact that the turbine would be within fall over distance of land outside of the control of the applicant. 2.13 The applicant submitted an assessment of the effects on the setting of heritage assets produced by SW Archaeology (SWA). This assessment identifies a degree of harm to the setting of a number of heritage assets, and yet it would appear that the Council has not consulted Historic England. 2.14 The Council should be mindful of the High Court judgement in the case of Gerber, R (on the application of) v Wiltshire Council [2015] EWHC 524 (Admin) where Wiltshire Council failed to consult English Heritage (as it then was) over a proposed solar farm. The High Court quashed the planning permission on a number of grounds, one of which was the failure by the Council to consult English Heritage. The Gerber Judgement is at Appendix 6 of this NRWT objection response. Should planning permission be granted then that decision could lead to a Judicial Review. 2.15 The applicant’s heritage assessment identifies harm to the setting of 37 heritage assets. For a single wind turbine to cause this degree of harm 3 amply demonstrates that it is the wrong proposal in the wrong place and also justifies the conclusion in the applicant’s assessment that the aggregate effects would be Moderate to Major and thus classed as substantial in terms of the NPPF. 2.16 There can be no doubt that the effects of this proposal on heritage assets are sufficient on their own to warrant refusal of planning permission. 2.17 As with most of Cornwall, the local economy of this area is heavily dependent on tourism. One of the unique selling points of this location is the unspoilt coastal landscape. 2.18 Bearing this in mind it is surprising that no attempt was made to assess the effect that the proposal may have on local tourist based businesses. These businesses employ substantial numbers of local people and provide vital business to many local suppliers and contractors. The visitors are not static but move around the area, enjoying the tranquil landscape and visiting pubs, restaurants and shops, meaning that any reduction in visitor numbers would have a widespread impact. Any negative impact on these businesses would be contrary to Government policy as set out in Section 3 of the NPPF. 2.19 There are a large number of tourist based businesses in the area along with a large number of privately owned holiday chalets, the most affected of which will be at Freathy and at Whitsand Bay Holiday Park. 2.20 As the applicant has not assessed the possible effects of the proposal on local tourist based businesses there is no information on these effects. This must weigh against the proposal. 2.21 NRWT commissioned Dr Tim Reed, a leading ecologist, to review the ecological issues involved in this application. Dr Reed’s review is at Appendix 11 of this NRWT response. 2.22 Regarding the applicant’s assessments, Dr Reed concluded that: ‘When reviewing documentation, it is expected that all of the material claimed by a developer will be available, and that methods used were as stated in the text.

PRESENT: N. Roberts (Chair), S. Lewis (Vice-Chair), H. Wood, R. Meeson, C. Wilton, B. Taggart, S. Woffenden, E. Edwards IN ATTENDANCE: Clerk R. Hamill, 1 member of the public 17) CHAIRMAN THANKS The Chair wished to acknowledge the work and effort over the past 5 ½ years by the previous Chair, Cllr Wood. She thanked him for his work, not only in his role as Chairman, but as a Parish Councillor, which is set to continue. For this she stated that she is personally grateful for Cllr Wood’s advice and help. The Chair requested that a vote of thanks be recorded in the minutes, a proposal that was seconded by a member of the public, Mr R Bews. Cllr Wood thanked the Chair for her kind words. 18) PUBLIC FORUM & COUNTY COUNCILLOR REPORT Various Traffic & Transport (T&T) matters from Mr R Bews Mr Bews, referring to the Feasibility Study of the Tanyard commissioned by the Council, stated that in his opinion the project plan did not constitute a contract or indicate what the Council was asking for. He then asked if the proposed solutions would include approximate costs, to which the Chair replied it was her understanding that they would. Mr Bews then stated that he didn’t think the £45,000 budgeted by the Council [between 2018 – 2020] would be sufficient to both resolve the traffic flow issues at the Tanyard and tackle other T&T issues in Millbrook.

  • Iii. Salinity and Temperature Conditions in the Lower Estuary
    529 THE ECOLOGY OF THE TAMAR ESTUARY III. SALINITY AND TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS IN THE LOWER ESTUARY By A. Milne, M.A., B.Sc. Natural History Department, University of Aberdeen (Text-figs. 1-5) CONTENTS PAGE Salinity Conditions in a Cross-section of the Estuary . 529 Seasonal Surface Variations in Salinity . 534 Rainfall and Salinity . 537 Other Surface and Bottom Records of Salinity . 538 Temperature of the Surface Waters . 540 Hydrogen-Ion Concentration . 541 Summary . 542 References. 542 In the Tees Survey (Alexander, Southgate & Bassindale, 1935) the genera! salinity conditions of the Tees Estuary have been clearly described, and it was suggested that conditions in the Tamar might be somewhat similar. Observations during 1936-37 confirm this similarity. Here, therefore, it is only necessary to discuss those data which will give some idea of the actual salinity fluctuations (rate of change as well as magnitude) affecting the fauna and flora of the section of the Tamar Estuary now considered in these papers. The Tees Survey gives maximum, minimum, and average salinities, but such data are not the only aspects to be considered from the point of view of salinity effects on organisms, for it is well known that some aquatic animals can be acclimatized to almost any salinity from above that of sea water down to fresh water, provided that the change is brought. about gradually. The actual range of salinity may not be so important as rate of change. SALINITY CONDITIONS IN A CROSS-SECTION OF THE ESTUARY In the Tees Estuary (1935, p. 76) "The salinity variation to which an organism is subjected depends, therefore, on the position in the intertidal area at which the species normally lives.

  • Just a Balloon Report Jan 2017
    Just a Balloon BALLOON DEBRIS ON CORNISH BEACHES Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition | January 2017 BACKGROUND This report has been compiled by the Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition (CPPC), a sub-group of the Your Shore Network (set up and supported by Cornwall Wildlife Trust). The aim of the evidence presented here is to assist Cornwall Council’s Environment Service with the pursuit of a Public Spaces Protection Order preventing Balloon and Chinese Lantern releases in the Duchy. METHODOLOGY During the time period July to December 2016, evidence relating to balloon debris found on Cornish beaches was collected by the CPPC. This evidence came directly to the CPPC from members (voluntary groups and individuals) who took part in beach-cleans or litter-picks, and was accepted in a variety of formats:- − Physical balloon debris (latex, mylar, cords & strings, plastic ends/sticks) − Photographs − Numerical data − E mails − Phone calls/text messages − Social media posts & direct messages Each piece of separate balloon debris was logged, but no ‘double-counting’ took place i.e. if a balloon was found still attached to its cord, or plastic end, it was recorded as a single piece of debris. PAGE 1 RESULTS During the six month reporting period balloon debris was found and recorded during beach cleans at 39 locations across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly shown here:- Cornwall has an extensive network of volunteer beach cleaners and beach cleaning groups. Many of these are active on a weekly or even daily basis, and so some of the locations were cleaned on more than one occasion during the period, whilst others only once.
