It makes a positive contribution to its setting – whether landscape or townscape. While there are a wide range of building and landscape typologies in Cornwall, each is distinctive.

LCA No CA17 JCA Constituent LDUs Total 4: 298, 409, 410, 411 © Crown copyright. All rights reserved. Cornwall County Council 100019590, 2008. Location Inland area to the north-west of St Austell and bounded by the road network which stretches from Indian Queens on the west (B3275) via St Dennis in the north (B3279) to the A391 in the east (Penwithick) and the A3058 in the south, where it abuts the urban area of St Austell. Designations No AONB; SSSIs in LDUs 298,409, 411. 3 LDUs contain SACs; 3 contain SMs and there is 1 CGS site. Description A very varied, dramatic landscape of china clay waste tips and areas of rough vegetation, characterised by open pit mining. The mix of active and disused sites creates a dramatic ‘lunar’ landscape of huge, light- coloured waste tips and settling ponds within a relic pastoral farming landscape. A rugged area of great variation and drama. Dominant visual elements include the large white spoil heaps, either conical or flat- topped in form, aqua-blue pools, areas of rough ground and natural and naturally regenerated scrub and heath, as well as large quarry pits. The scale of these features contrasts dramatically with the small scale field patterns. The fluctuating and changing condition and relationship of elements in this landscape, and the natural regeneration of heathland, new woodland planting and rough ground provides a vivid and dynamic visual landscape character quite unlike surrounding LCAs.

CleanEarth (CE) are proposing to submit a planning application for a single turbine development on land at East Karslake, Imerys, Cornwall, PL26 7XS. CE seeks to gain a formal screening opinion and formal pre-planning consultee comments for this site. The provisional turbine locations are shown in drawings CE3405-SC-TL-01 and CE3405-SC-SL-01. CE has provided a detailed description of the project and evaluated this against Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) regulations to support our screening request. 1. The Development The proposal is to install a single turbine of maximum tip height 135m, with a 3-bladed rotor design. Due to constant industry developments, the turbine model has yet to be finalised. Supplementary elements include two permanent switchgear housing units (approx. 4m x 4m x 3m), temporary access track, underground cabling, and temporary crane hard standing area (approx. 45m x 65m). CE looks to develop sites that have reduced environmental impacts considering proximity, noise and visual amenity to ‘sensitive receptors’ (residential dwellings), ecological constraints, existing infrastructure, and locally designated areas and features. 1.1 Installation The turbine and other components would be delivered to the site by an articulated lorry.

  • 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.

That makes 229 resident • Open stony, sparsely-vegetated areas on free-draining soils presumably maintained either by exposure breeding species, of which about 63% (147) are RDB (8), Nationally Scarce (46) or rare in the county (93). or grazing: Ophonus puncticollis – see extinct species above Where a species has been accorded “Nationally Scarce” or “British Red Data Book” status this is shown • On dry sandy soils, usually on coast, presumably maintained by exposure or grazing: immediately following the scientific name.
