  • Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management
    Appendix A - Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has overall responsibility for flood risk management in England. Their aim is to reduce flood risk by: • discouraging inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding. • encouraging adequate and cost effective flood warning systems. • encouraging adequate technically, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable flood defence measures. The Government’s Foresight Programme has recently produced a report called Future Flooding, which warns that the risk of flooding will increase between 2 and 20 times over the next 75 years. The report produced by the Office of Science and Technology has a long-term vision for the future (2030 – 2100), helping to make sure that effective strategies are developed now. Sir David King, the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government concluded: “continuing with existing policies is not an option – in virtually every scenario considered (for climate change), the risks grow to unacceptable levels. Secondly, the risk needs to be tackled across a broad front. However, this is unlikely to be sufficient in itself. Hard choices need to be taken – we must either invest in more sustainable approaches to flood and coastal management or learn to live with increasing flooding”. In response to this, Defra is leading the development of a new strategy for flood and coastal erosion for the next 20 years. This programme, called “Making Space for Water” will help define and set the agenda for the Government’s future strategic approach to flood risk. Within this strategy there will be an overall approach to the assessing options through a strong and continuing commitment to CFMPs and SMPs within a broader planning framework which will include River Basin Management Plans prepared under the Water Framework Directive and Integrated Coastal Zone Management.

The regional programme is completed in two years and comprises approximately 950 sites covering 4230 km of river and 27 km of canal. Half the catchments are surveyed in any one year. The couplete two-year programme matches the reaches monitored in the chemical monitoring programme. Additional sites are included so that all reaches that were assigned River Quality Objectives in the Asset Management Plan produced in 1989 are monitored. The following catchments are to be surveyed in full in 1993: Lim Exe Teign Dart Gar a Avon Seaton Looe Fowey (lower sub-catchment only) Par Crinnis St Austell South Cornwall Streams Fal Helford Lizard Streams Land's End Streams Hayle Red and Coastal Streams Gannel Valency and Coastal Streams Strat/Neet Hartland Streams North Devon Coastal Streams Lyn Twenty-two key sites throughout the region are sampled every year, to assess annual changes. Three sites are solely to monitor the impact of discharges from mushroom farms and are not used for river quality classification purposes.

Apologies for absence : Cllrs J Rowe and B Gabriel 5 members of the public were present. 398 Chairmans Announcements The Chairman opened the meeting. 399 Adjournment The Chairman adjourned the meeting to allow public discussion. Representations were made regarding the planning and retrospective application for Treburgett Piggery. Despite assurance from Cornwall Council that controls would be in place after the last applications problems appear to have got worse, with smell and flies, and the building appeared bigger than expected. There were concerns over the health of the pigs and the footpath had disappeared along with the signs. Mr Shute from the Piggery said that the new buildings were to replace almost derelict substandard buildings and new methods were in place to deal with slurry which should control the smell and flies. The animal welfare complies with legislation and inspection and has regular checks. Mr Raybould advised that a Planning Officer had visited Victoria Cottages again (385) and had measured the building. The meeting was reconvened. 400 Council Meeting Minutes – To confirm and sign the Minutes of the Parish Council Meeting on 13 March 2012 Amendments (390) – Cllr Hawkey to read Hawken Proposed by Cllr Mott and seconded by Cllr Parnell it was AGREED that the Minutes of this meeting be a true and accurate record.

    Free to Members No. 28 Spring 2010 Straight from the horse’s mouth In This Bumper Issue Hello Everyone Gwallon Bridleway Opened Another Christmas has come and gone and we are already a TREC comes to the far South West quarter of the way through 2010. The years seem to be flashing by. Our traditional Christmas Cracker ride was well Carnyorth Common Update supported and the Get Together at the Engine Inn was also a Steel Horse News and Trails very sociable evening. Now we are looking at the AGM Horse Hike Reports coming up already. It’s been a tough winter but we have got Horse Hike Programme off more lightly in the far southwest. We just got rain, rain and more rain whilst up country got the white stuff. The horses ‘ploughed the fields and splattered the good grass off the land. and more … But they’ve been fed and watered by our unstinting hand.’ (apologies to the hymn!) Now with the recent dry weather the poached ground has set like concrete. Every bridleway and track continued to be as bad as ever under hoof. Horse hikes had to be cancelled but recently, we have had some lucky breaks to run a few good rides in reasonable weather. Chapel Carn Brea, Great Flat Lode, and a new venue at Marazion brought out a lot of riders. The recently opened new Gwallon bridleway will enable Marazion to become a regular ride. An informal Trec competition took place on the last day of February with a crash course and demo in the morning before real action in the afternoon.

  • St Just-In-Penwith Area Guide
    Situated just beside the North Road at the Pendeen end, Wheal Hearle comprises two engine houses which were home to a ten inch winding engine and a thirty inch pumping engine. It was in production from about 1855 and, at its peak, employed just over one hundred men , women and boys. The mine appears to have been short lived with little reported after 1865.
