3073.19 TO RECEIVE AND APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE FULL COUNCIL HELD ON THE 17th OCTOBER 2019 AND THE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN THEM It was proposed by Cllr Bradley, seconded by Cllr Sadler and RESOLVED that the minutes (with changes to confidential item) of the Parish Council held on 17th October 2019 be approved and signed by the Chair on a vote being taken the matter was approved unanimously

3074.19 TO REPORT MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES NOT ON THE CURRENT AGENDA (please note the confidential items minuted can only be discussed in a further confidential session) – DBS checks Boundary review – where are we? The clerk reported that public meetings had taken place and that discussions on Phase 2 recommendations had been undertaken by Councils Electoral Panel. No changes to Mawnan had been recommended at this stage; however changes to Budock were still being discussed. Further public consultation would take place in the New Year (next Electoral Panel meeting in December). DBS checks – information received from the Safeguarding Team at county: Standard checks are for specific users only (solicitors, accountants etc); Enhanced check are for those users in regular contact (nor than 4 times a month); basic checks can be done on any group. It was agreed to review this at the January O&F meeting.

3075.19 TO NOTE ANY PRE-APPLICATION MEETINGS UNDERTAKEN, ANY ENFORCEMENT COMPLAINTS OR PLANNING DECISIONS RECEIVED SINCE THE LAST MEETING OF THIS COUNCIL FROM Cllr Sadler wanted it noted that on the Trestannor application birds and squirrels are in active competition with each other, so enhancing the woodland for both groups is contra-indicatory. He also said that Esturine Oaks do not grow 4m upwards, they are a spreading variety.

3076.19 TO CONSIDER PLANNING APPLICATIONS RECEIVED FROM CORNWALL COUNCIL BY THE DATE OF THE MEETING (please check the parish website for any extra items arriving within the 7 days prior to the meeting date) Ref. No: PA19/08651 Bosvean Road Mawnan Smith TR11 5HA It was proposed by Cllr Nash seconded by Cllr Sadler & RESOLVED that Mawnan Parish Council support this application in principle but we still have some reservations about the design. Given the increase in ridge height, topography of the plot and inclusion of large ground-floor rear patio windows we would still like consideration given to 'digging down' into the plot.

We agree with the comments from the AONB Unit with regards to the roadside Cornish hedge - it more of it could be kept without affecting the visibility splay along this road we would be much happier.

Mawnan Parish is a climate conscious parish and would appreciate any efforts the developer could make towards mitigating environmental impact and making the build process as carbon neutral as possible.

on a vote being taken the matter was approved unanimously

Ref. No: PA19/09356 3 Coomb Pines Helford Passage Falmouth Cornwall TR11 5LB It was proposed by Cllr Toland seconded by Cllr Moyle & RESOLVED that Mawnan Parish Council object to this application. This development was specifically built as a holiday flat complex and we feel the original constraints set up it still stand.

Although we understand that changes to the overall complex have happened over intervening years the residential capacity of the immediate area has remained fairly consistent - the change of use, which is what lifting this condition would effectively do, is inappropriate via this method. If change of use is what is in mind then we ask that a formal application for this be submitted and discussed in context.

on a vote being taken the matter was approved unanimously

Ref. No: PA19/09525 Higher Farm Mawnan Smith Falmouth TR11 5JW It was proposed by Cllr Moyle seconded by Cllr Sadler & RESOLVED that Mawnan Parish Council would support this application PROVIDED that there are assurances that the other residences have been notified and are in agreement.

Condition 11 seems to apply to the storage barn as a communal entity, incidental to the dwellings. The fact that Barn 3 is up for sale with 'their' storage area in Barn 2 already listed as a self contained study/store has raised concerns with us.

on a vote being taken the matter was approved unanimously

Ref. No: PA19/09609 Land South Of Rosemaen Maenporth Road TR11 5HR It was proposed by Cllr Sadler seconded by Cllr Toland & RESOLVED that although the Parish Council do not object to this application we would be more likely to support this application if the more of the Cornish Hedge were retained, although we sorrowfully note that a large number of established trees on this corner have already been removed.

Mawnan Parish Council have concerns with the scale of this dwelling. The majority of dwellings along this stretch of the road are of single or dormer style and are set back from the road behind established hedges. This proposal is for a 2 storey dwelling that will be highly visible from the road, and thus out of keeping within the area and specifically the AONB.

Mawnan Parish is a climate conscious parish and would appreciate any efforts the developer could make towards mitigating environmental impact and making the build process as carbon neutral as possible.

on a vote being taken the matter was approved with one objection

Ref. No: PA19/09031 St Mawnans Church Old Church Road Mawnan TR11 5HY It was proposed by Cllr Bradley seconded by Cllr Whibley & RESOLVED that whilst Mawnan Parish Council support the works to the lychgate and the removal of the shed we note comments made about works to the large beech tree outside of the wall. We feel that, given the age of the beech, the lychgate is prioritised, rather than extending the life of the tree, however given it is actually outside of the church boundary and is on National Trust land (as it sits in the carpark) so would ask that they also be consulted on this application and their approval for any works to the tree sought. We are also aware that further along part of this hedge contains the remnants of iron-age earthworks and that the replacement wall is in keeping with the existing wall and does not cause any damages.

on a vote being taken the matter was approved unanimously

3077.19 TO RECEIVE AND APPROVE THE STATEMENT OF PAYMENTS, RECEIPTS AND BANK RECONCILIATION FOR THE MONTH OCTOBER 2019 It was proposed by Cllr Sadler seconded by Cllr Whibley & RESOLVED that the statement of payments, receipts & bank reconciliation for the month of October be received & approved as a true record

on a vote being taken the matter was approved unanimously

3078.19 TO APPROVE THE PAYMENT OF ACCOUNTS IN NOV 2019 It was proposed by Cllr Whibley seconded by Cllr Sadler & RESOLVED that accounts totalling£7,140.45(inc. VAT) be approved for payment & duly signed

on a vote being taken the matter was approved unanimously

3079.19 TO RECEIVE CORRESPONDENCE AND AGREE RESPONSES IF APPROPRIATE This was read out. Item 20 (Standing water at Tresooth) had been action by clerks of Budock 7 Mawnan along with Cllr Bastin & general users. Although the drain had been cleared waste was once again just put to the side to fall right back in again. This is a long standing issue and need more done about it.

3080.19 TO NOTE DAMAGES TO THE GRAVEYARD GATEPOST & AGREE SUITABLE REPLACEMENT Cllr Moyle agreed to look into prices for a replacement (galvanised) gatepost … although if anyone knew of granite one going spare it would be readily snapped up! He would talk to Tim Marsh to see the costs of a new granite post and return them for the December meeting.

3081.19 TO DISCUSS A REQUEST FUNDING TO GO TOWARDS THE CLIMATE CHANGE INITIATIVE (£1000) Cllr Whibley asked for funding to support the parish wide Climate Group, which had already incurred some expenses in creating the project logo from the successful winner at the Village Show competition (this was shown round); Cllr Faiers having had it worked on by a graphic designer to create a useable logo. How this group would run (is it a parish committee or more like the NDP Steering Group) were discussed with the feeling that it should run more as they NDP with the parish council only having a “light touch”. As such an initial funding pot of £1000 was agreed with this being released upon invoices/ receipts being received by the clerk.

Cllr Sadler added that the NDP Group had worked very well and was very successful and that we should be encouraging more community groups to take actions themselves but with the knowledge that there is parish council help, assistance and support available to them if they need it.

3082.19 TO RECEIVE INFORMATION ON THE FOOTPATH LEAFLET REPRINT & STORAGE OPTIONS The clerk explained that after a couple of late stage changes the proof had gone off for printing and the agreed 15000 copies should arrive before Christmas. She had done some investigating into storage for this without having to rely on councillors sheds, garages and attics and although the storage site at Mabe was cheaper it was in part of a larger container and was not monitored at all time. The new laundry site in Penryn was monitored 24 hours and we would be renting a specific storage locker (costs were £24 per month, with a 10% reduction for an up-front 6 month lease). She also pointed out that we would be able to make use of the storage freed up as we distributed the leaflets to cater to pre-office move requirements.

It was proposed by Cllr Bradley seconded by Cllr Toland & RESOLVED that a storage locker in Penryn be rented for an initial 6 month period

on a vote being taken the matter was approved unanimously

3083.19 TO RECEIVE ANY INFORMATION ON NOTED TRAFFIC & FOOTPATH ISSUES Cllr Bradley is unable to attend the Road Safety event on 3rd December. Cllr Whibley read her footpaths report (attached), especially noting the works of Carol Hurst towards a Plastic Free Helford. She has had recent success in getting Barrett’s Homes to remove the use of balloons as promotional items. Cllr Whibley hopes to get a ranger out to walk stretches of the footpaths through Meudon Woods as the paths here do not appear to have seen much maintenance works done with trees, streams & fords lacking upkeep. Clerk to request the woodland management plan from County Farms. Helford Dog bin – the clerk had received a request for this to be moved by BIFFA as they say it is inaccessible to their vehicles as the turning space is being used for construction. Residents were taking/ having taken some rubbish up to the carpark bins – clerk to see if this bin could be cleared in the same way.

3084.19 REPORT FROM THE NDP STEERING COMMITTEE ON THE CURRENT POSITION Terry Damer reported back on the last meetings before Christmas. 60+ people attended the September exhibition with lots of comments (all but 1 positive) received and now amalgamated into the final plan. There is still lots to do to finalise the documents - 5 supporting and 1 main. Comments from the SEA draft have now been adopted and have changed the structure if not the format of the draft NDP policy document itself. The design statement is still being worked on and is 99% done (although there are some issues still to be discussed with the parish council). The non- designated heritage assets lists itself and how to advise homeowners of their inclusion on this list also need to be discussed. This listing given an additional layer of protection to buildings within the NDP area but cannot really be policed. Green space designations are still incomplete – these are areas that do not already have protections but are recognised as being of value to the community. The Consultation Statement is being worked on as well, which now appears to have to be a single electronic document and is taking much more work than originally thought. Hopefully all the documents should with the Parish Council by December 12th to allow them to be agreed to on the 19th, after which they can go to the 6 week public consultation phase early in the New Year. And congratulations to our Media content editor, Melissa on her new baby. This has meant that there has been a gap in newsletters etc. but hopefully there should be something new as a quick roundup before Christmas.

Cllrs Sadler & Marsden both asked that our wholehearted thanks be given to everyone that has been involved in the NDP process for all of the effort and hard work that they have put into the project

3085.19 REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES AND REPRESENTATIVES (may include reports from recent training/conferences & Climate Project).  Cllr Whibley reported on the Climate Change group. The winning logo design for the Climate Conscious ‘brand’ is ready and was shown round. This would now be included on all project information. The points raised on the Tree of Life during group discussions have all been collated and split into ‘works areas’ for future review. Running on from this, Sunday sees a ‘recycle & reuse fair’ at the Memorial Hall where the organisers have generously said they are looking to donate any profits from the renting of stall on the day to local community green projects. Cllr Whibley has been talking to them. Next Friday sees another presentation at Budock about climate change – this time focussing on energy conservation, saving and clean creation. Cllr Marsden added that climate change should now be integrated into everything that we as a parish do – from planning comments to using resources. New village signs with “climate conscious community” should be investigated – emergency given an unfavourable impression.

 Cllr Sadler asked that the works of the clerk in organising the Remembrance Services be recognised – she did a lot of work to make sure that the even went smoothly and the wider community was all involved. The WI also needed thanks for the work on the Poppy cascade, which had to be moved between venues overnight and to the school for their participation. He did however think that we should be considering the inclusion of the Millennium Cross during the services, since apart from being a visible point for the wreaths to be placed; it did not have an association to the Remembrance celebrations. He thought that with some reworking suitable sites at the front of the Memorial Hall could be found to display wreaths & crosses, since with war memorial for the village. The clerk had also been asked by a member of the public why the parish chose to hold our services on the 11th and not Remembrance Sunday, which they felt would be easier for people to get to and better attended – she had said that Armistice Day was the 11th November and that this was the day that the parish had chosen to remember it’s fallen and that there were church services on the Sunday that could be attended. It was noted that the 2 minutes silence was in reality 2 x 1 minutes; the first for the fallen and the 2nd for those lost since or affected by loss, which seems appropriate for our Armistice Day remembrances.

3086.19 REPORT FROM CORNWALL COUNCIL WARD MEMBER It appears that the parish are not receiving the Localism Newsletter – clerk to chase up. Included this month are:  Xmas refuse collection schedule – should remain as normal for Tuesdays with trees collected as rubbish during the two weeks beginning 6th & 13th January.  Survey underway on private sector rentals and how to improve local provisions  Green open Spaces – funding available for pocket parks but application needs to be in by 31st December (£15000 for new £25000 to upgrade existing).  Resilience Networks – money available for planning.

The Police & Crime Commissioner – wants more police advocates from parish councils.

20+ at the CNP Climate Group Meeting. St Gluvias have agreed to act as “treasurer” with Terms of Reference being drafted to change this to a freestanding unit, separate from the CNP. Parish volunteers are needed to fill “offices” and they all will need to sign up to a commitment to the group, with a change to regular monthly meetings.

The situation as to ongoing ‘Highways Pot projects’ is still being chased and a works progress report requested for the next meetings in January.
