MA33 Policy Development Zone: PDZ13
Location reference: Trevelgue Head to Stepper Point Management Area reference: MA33 Policy Development Zone: PDZ13 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2 Final Report Chapter 4 PDZ13 11 February 2011 DISCUSSION AND DETAILED POLICY DEVELOPMENT Along the undefended cliffs and coves a no active intervention policy should meet the high level SMP objectives and support AONB and heritage coast designations. There are two notable features along the undefended coast covered under this policy unit, namely Trevelgue Cliff Castle at Trevelgue Head and Bedruthan Steps, just north of Mawgan Porth. Trevelgue Cliff Castle is an important pre-historic settlement site (see inset map, right) and there have been some erosion concerns for this feature prior to the SMP review. The erosion mapping does not indicate that extensive risk from erosion is anticipated for the feature, but that does not discount the fact that isolated, discrete cliff falls may affect the site in the future, as they are a feature of this section of cliffed coastline. Bedruthan Steps are a geological feature of the coastline (although Redcliff Cliff Castle is also present at the site). The Steps are a popular visitor attraction throughout the year (owned and managed by the National Trust). Bedruthan Steps Although erosion risk per se is low, there are likely to be impacts on the foreshore Steps features, due to rising sea levels causing greater depth and wave height closer to the base of the cliffs. Although these natural risks are identified for both features, no active intervention is still considered the suitable policy choice through all three epochs. -
