Ref: LCAA8323 Offers around £100,000 Field at Angarrack Lane, Connor Downs, Hayle, Cornwall, TR27 5JG FREEHOLD A level field of about 0.62 of an acre with about 100 yards long road frontage, in a strategic location directly opposite developed residential land with further residential and commercial buildings around it, offering significant future planning permission possibilities, subject to all necessary consents. Currently an attractive pasture with established boundaries, gateway onto Angarrack Lane and a strip of maturing trees not subject to Tree Preservation Orders. 2 Ref: LCAA8323 DESCRIPTION The field being offered is found on Angarrack Lane which links the settlements of Angarrack and Connor Downs. Angarrack Lane is a public highway and the field has about 100 yards of frontage to it. On the opposite side of Angarrack Lane is a long established residential development being part of Connor Downs. To the south of the field is a large commercial building and there are further dwellings and outbuildings on this south side of Angarrack Lane in the near vicinity. There is currently a single vehicular gate access onto Angarrack Lane, a further gate access out of the south west corner of the field will not be able to be used by a new owner and this will make no difference as this access was inferior. The field is currently level pasture with a belt of trees along the Angarrack Lane boundary although these are not subject to Tree Preservation Orders. It is thought that this field is strategically placed considering the nearby developed land and may have potential in the future to gain planning permission for residential or commercial use, subject to all necessary consents first being obtained. We are informed that the field is on the opposite side of Angarrack Lane from the current village envelope. The long frontage to a public highway is certainly beneficial as there are numerous entrances to individual residences on the opposite side of the road. The field has previously been subject to a planning application under reference PA13/11115 for 9 dwellings which was refused. Please see the Cornwall Council planning website for more information. Please note that if this land had planning permission for numerous dwellings its value as of today would be very significantly enhanced. It is 3 Ref: LCAA8323 entirely up to a potential purchaser to decide whether they feel that the likelihood of possible future gains is worth the investment at this time at a level significantly below the value of the land with planning permission for commercial or residential development. Our client is specifically looking for straightforward offers not subject to planning but is prepared to consider all offers, of any type, on their own merits. No overage clause is envisaged to be added to the contract. LOCATION Connor Downs has an excellent community spirit aided by the village post office, garage/shop, pub, primary school and doctor’s surgery. Connor Downs is very close to the north Cornish coast and the four mile wide St Ives Bay with beautiful walks along the South West Coast Path through the sand dunes and excellent surfing and swimming along the sandy beach. The south coast is also only about 15 minutes’ drive away at Marazion which overlooks St Michael’s Mount and Mounts Bay. Between the coasts is beautiful unspoilt countryside with quiet lanes and footpaths. Although Connor Downs has day to day facilities, the town of Hayle is only about 5 minutes’ drive away and offers a full range of services including supermarkets and secondary schooling. St Ives is a short distance further to the west, as is Penzance, whilst Camborne to the east and Helston to the south east are also within easy striking distance, each having their own unique appeal and further services. The A30 Expressway is close to hand and runs throughout Cornwall giving simple access to Truro (Cornwall’s capital city) and the motorway network at Exeter. In Hayle there is a mainline railway station on the Penzance to London Paddington line. 4 Ref: LCAA8323 GENERAL INFORMATION VIEWING – Strictly by prior appointment through: Lillicrap Chilcott, Landrian House, 59-60 Lemon Street, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 2PE. Telephone: (01872) 273473. E-mail: [email protected]. POST CODE – TR27 5JG (neighbouring residential postcode). SERVICES – We ask that any potentially interested parties make their own enquiries regarding services in the area. For Council Tax see www.mycounciltax.org.uk. DIRECTIONS – At the far east side of Connor Downs take the turning signed to Carnhell Green then immediately turn right onto Angarrack Lane. The field is on the left hand side opposite the last developed area of bungalows on the right and is marked by our for sale board. AGENT’S NOTE – The above particulars have been prepared as a general guide only for prospective buyers. Whilst we have endeavoured to provide a fair and reasonable description of the property, no specific survey or detailed inspection has been carried out in relation to the property, the services, the appliances and any fixtures and fittings or equipment.

  • Britishness, What It Is and What It Could Be, Is

    Britishness, What It Is and What It Could Be, Is

    COUNTY, NATION, ETHNIC GROUP? THE SHAPING OF THE CORNISH IDENTITY Bernard Deacon If English regionalism is the dog that never barked then English regional history has in recent years been barely able to raise much more than a whimper.1 Regional history in Britain enjoyed its heyday between the late 1970s and late1990s but now looks increasingly threadbare when contrasted with the work of regional geographers. Like geographers, in earlier times regional historians busied themselves with two activities. First, they set out to describe social processes and structures at a regional level. The region, it was claimed, was the most convenient container for studying ‘patterns of historical development across large tracts of the English countryside’ and understanding the interconnections between social, economic, political, demographic and administrative history, enabling the researcher to transcend both the hyper-specialization of ‘national’ historical studies and the parochial and inward-looking gaze of English local history.2 Second, and occurring in parallel, was a search for the best boundaries within which to pursue this multi-disciplinary quest. Although he explicitly rejected the concept of region on the grounds that it was impossible comprehensively to define the term, in many ways the work of Charles Phythian-Adams was the culmination of this process of categorization. Phythian-Adams proposed a series of cultural provinces, supra-county entities based on watersheds and river basins, as broad containers for human activity in the early modern period. Within these, ‘local societies’ linked together communities or localities via networks of kinship and lineage. 3 But regions are not just convenient containers for academic analysis.

    Branch Closure Impact Assessment Santander, 11 Meneage Street, Helston, Cornwall TR13 8AA This Branch Will Be Closing on 14 December 2017

    Branch Closure Impact Assessment Santander, 11 Meneage Street, Helston, Cornwall TR13 8AA This branch will be closing on 14 December 2017. We’d like to explain why, and help you understand how you can continue banking with us. Background Santander UK is a member of UK Finance and is a signatory to the new Access to Banking Standard, a voluntary agreement introduced in May 2017. This aims to ensure that where banks decide to close branches, their customers are communicated with openly and treated fairly. We don’t take the decision to close any branch lightly. We undertake a comprehensive review of each branch to understand the potential impact for customers, and the alternative options available to bank locally. We notify customers and the local community in advance of the branch closure. Branch Closure Impact Assessments can be found on our website santander.co.uk/uk/about-santander-uk/ media-centre/press-releases and printed versions are available at the closing branch. Our approach We’re fully committed to investing in our branch network and, over the last four years, all of our largest and busiest branches across the UK have been refurbished. Increasingly however, customers are changing the way they choose to bank with us. In addition to our branches, more and more people are banking with us by phone, online, on tablets and smartphones as well as at cash machines and post offices. As a result, some of our branches are being used less often. This review outlines our approach when considering whether to keep a branch open and our specific assessment of the Helston branch.
  • Update on Cornish Foodbanks 30Th July 2021

    Update on Cornish Foodbanks 30Th July 2021

    FOODBANK UPDATE Update on Cornish Foodbanks 30th July 2021 Foodbanks across Cornwall need supplies of all tinned, dried or long-life food items - with a typical food parcel including: Breakfast cereal, long-life milk, soup, pasta, rice, pasta sauce, tinned beans, tinned meat, tinned vegetables, tinned fruit, tinned puddings, tea or coffee, sugar, biscuits and snacks. Many of the foodbanks also collect: Baby food, baby milk, disposable nappies, washing up liquid, Washing Powder, soap, Dry Dog Food, canned Dog Food and canned Cat Food. The way each Cornish foodbank runs is very unique, depending on volunteers, the building they operate, their capacity, their community and their opening times. If you would like to donate and support your local foodbank, we have included links to some of the foodbanks below; we have purposely included references to their Facebook pages where possible. If you could help your foodbank by looking at their Facebook posts before contacting them, that would be super helpful as these often have the most up to date answers to many queries. Facebook posts often also have details of any financial donation appeals individual foodbanks are running, or for some foodbanks with websites, there is often a direct link to donate money to them. PLEASE NOTE: The mission of Foodbanks is to give out food parcels to people in need. Customers can access foodbanks with a food voucher. Many of the Foodbanks are now operating an e-voucher system but please check how your local Foodbank is operating. There are many wonderful community food projects that people without Foodbank vouchers can access and, in many cases, this may be more appropriate.

It has been wonderful to see how many exciting activities have been taking place across our academy involving children of all ages. As usual, a highlight for me this term has been the appointment of our prefect and Head prefects. I was very proud to hand out their badges with Mrs Eddy earlier in the term. We have an outstanding team of prefects who are working very hard to make our school a friendly place for all children. They are particularly keen to support our youngest children in their first experiences of school-life and to support staff at break times. I also enjoyed seeing so many of our children enjoying their music performances and I hope that you all had the opportunity to watch them perform too. We have so many talented children, from singers, dancers and actors to engineers of the future. It was a pleasure to see them having fun on stage and working together on their performances as a team. The remainder of this newsletter will demonstrate just how much effort all of the staff here put into providing a curriculum that is full of diverse knowledge, understanding and skills.
