However, although well screened, the sewage works would be a bad neighbour –nearby housing is low grade social housing. Some expansion along Midway road would be possible if East and West Midway Roads were united.

Other Information The old historic tracks have the potential to form new PROW and bridleways which would be advantageous as links to the Camel Trail and Dunmere woods. The road access is limited and it is very steep. Any policy to allow for urban expansion would likely require establishment of road accesses being created from Dunmere Road to the west from Scarlett Well Road or from Harmer road- none of which would be good choices. The tributary valley coupled which the Camel Trail form a defined edge to Bodmin. There may be very minor scope for small infill development to consolidate Scarletts Well housing with the suburban housing and the old prison. The secluded quality of Bodiniel would be important to retain along with some buffering from Bodmin.

The road access to the west is via Copshorn Road off Berrycombe road is limited and is very steep. To the east access is via Helland Road off Berry Lane and Cross lane, all of which have limited capacity.

Any meaningful expansion would require a new road system mostly likely extending from the Old Callywith Road. Any policy to allow for urban expansion would likely require establishment of new defined edge to Bodmin. There may be very minor scope for small infill development to existing playing field and community centre fields south of the stream. However for more extensive urban growth it would be necessary to ’leap frog’ the stream valley and the benefit of this would be formation of a linear park / corridor for recreation and biodiversity enhancement based on the main GI asset of the stream valley all in line with the NPPF.

There is clearly capacity to develop the derelict land. The remainder of the site provides a rural oasis which has strong aesthetic and sensory qualities by virtue of the grain crops and open fields however this can only be appreciated at the field gate entrances. When the land is required its capacity to absorb housing or industry would be enhanced by assiduous retention and protection of the hedgerow system especially the tree tunnel which gives strong aesthetic and sensory quality to Cooksland Lane. The adjacent allotments to the West could help inform other suitable uses such as an urban community farm or orchard or urban paddock and stabling for ‘horsiculture’.

Record descriptive Landscape Visual Final Cell Judgement information for each Character Sensitivity survey sub heading listed Cell sites central to Bodmin and incorporates the Beacon and the Local nature Sensitivity reserve. This is an exceptional landscape strategically at the heart of the town. It is essentially a rounded hill with extensive long distance view though not 360o due to hedges and trees. It is a key focus for recreation and is very popular with local residents especially for dog walking. Its summit is marked with an 19th C obelisk the Gilbert Monument. This area is open grassland and scrub. Woodland dominates its western flank while the southeast slopes form a patchwork of grassland meadow and pasture. An enclave of housing north of Crabtree Lane intrudes though is buffered by woodland. It is well connected to the adjacent housing by an extensive network of footpaths and informal tracks. It is bounded to the north: northeast by Beacon road and to the south by Crabtree Lane, The Heritage Bodmin and Wenfield Railway and housing adjacent to its west flank. It provides an easily accessible escape from the bustle of urban hard forms and once inside there is a sense of peace and tranquillity and remoteness from the town Natural Landscape Features Topography/ landform Rounded hill with shorter slopes to and east and longer to the south and west High -5 High High 10 -Red

Any potential development of this would be widely visible from the open countryside to the south of the cell. There is limited capacity to absorb housing with its current structure. If urban expansion were to be considered essential then it would be very important to preserve the southern stream corridors. Pedestrian access would only be possible via the gap in housing along Blowinghouse Lane with the best option to create a road access from Laninval Road. The integrity of the existing access to Laveddon House should also be preserved.

There is a strong green corridor centred along the stream system from a southeast: northwest by west alignment. Thee railway route forms another wooded route and effective barrier. Should urban expansion be considered essential in this cell it would be important to preserve these corridors and enhance significant hedgerow systems indicated on the associated mapping. Capacity for urban expansion would be enhanced by provision of a new road access extending from the west end of boundary Road. The existing boundary road route is tortuous and traffic ‘feels like’ it is exceeding its capacity. While preserving the old Prow routes for off road recreation. The stream valley corridor would form a terminal edge to growth in the medium to long medium term wit boundary road forming an obvious edge for the short term.
