  • Plymouth Sound and Estuaries Water
    Foreword As partners of the Tamar Estuaries Consultative Forum (TECF) we acknowledge the recommendations outlined in the Plymouth Sound and Estuaries Water Transportation Study in principal, and are prepared to broadly support these recommendations through the work of each of our individual organisations. It is recognised that there are a number of water transportation related projects currently being investigated. Feasibility studies and other information searches being undertaken as part of these projects will contribute to further clarify, the viability and sustainability of a water transportation network, and the options for integrating water transportation with other transportation systems. These studies will also contribute to providing a more focused assessment of the shore-based infrastructure and service requirements and an overview of the potential employment opportunities that would be generated. Relying on the Water Transportation Study as a basis for information, additional, more detailed information, especially that generated from primary data collection and analysis, will be integrated, in order to support and inform decision makers in the wider strategic debate on the future integrated transport proposals for Plymouth and the Tamar Estuaries. It is noted that all initiatives contributing to the development of water transportation in the estuary and sound, place primary importance on reducing environmental risk.

  • Roadside Hedges and Verges in Cornwall
    ROADSIDE HEDGES AND VERGES IN CORNWALL Copyright Robin Menneer 2008 History of roadside hedges / old roads & enclosures / pack-horse & slide / turnpike hedges / verges - the “long meadow” / walking on top of hedges / hedge & highway responsibilities / hedges alongside private roads and ramps / hedge trimming & road repairs / modern road traffic and hedges / traffic pollution / current roadside hedge management. There are over four and a half thousand miles of roads in Cornwall, so there are roughly 9,000 miles of hedges alongside them. Highways and hedges are inextricably wedded, physically and historically. As the land was enclosed, hedges were built beside the existing tracks, and as new lanes and roads evolved, new hedges were built alongside them. Again, as the traffic using them changed, many of the roads and their hedges were altered to meet the new demand. Roadside hedges make up roughly one third of the total of hedges in the county. Of these, nearly 1,000 miles of hedge are along main roads, nearly 4,000 miles along second class and minor roads, many of them narrow lanes, and over 4,000 miles along unclassified ways. This abundance in Cornwall of ancient roads, lanes and tracks contradicts old exaggerations about the self-sufficiency and isolation of hamlets within a country parish. Typically Pelynt parish, with a circumference of twelve miles, has some forty miles of road, lane and footpath. Its number of farms and tenements, only a handful today, numbered 31 in 1957 and over 100 in 1812. Transporting goods and animals was time-consuming, and it was an advantage for a parish to have an intricate system of highways so that distances to be travelled were as short as possible.

  • Heritage Assessment Saltash Neighbourhood Development Plan
    It is the heritage of Saltash that makes it distinctive place and gives local people a sense of belonging or identity and a feeling of pride to be an Essanian Heritage Assessment Saltash Neighbourhood Development Plan Saltash NDP Steering Group. 1. Introduction. 1.1 The consideration of the historic environment is an important aspect of neighbourhood planning and must be properly considered if a Plan is to conform to the ‘Basic Conditions’. It is important that the NDP Steering Group share a broad understanding of how the historic environment within and surrounding the NDP’s designated area contributes to the perceptions and experience of Saltash. It is the heritage of Saltash that makes it distinctive place and gives local people a sense of belonging or identity and a feeling of pride to be an Essanian. Local distinctiveness can also help to support tourism and attract investment to an area. Looking after the historic environment in our MDP will help to ensure that it will be valued and be available for future generations to enjoy and connect with their roots, an important aspect of ‘sustainable development’. It can also support other national and local objectives, such as building a strong, competitive economy and supporting the health and welfare of residents, to requiring good design. 1.2 To ensure that the Saltash NDP takes a proper approach to the historic environment we have sought to go beyond a simple listing of heritage assets in the evidence base (https://tinyurl.com/y4h4saru) by developing an understanding of the way in which it tells the story of how the distinctive physical, cultural and economic history of the area has developed (see Section 2 below).
