SUMMARY OF REPRESENTATIONS General Comments General Customer Ref: 63Response Ref: 1334 Comment Cornwall County Council - Spatial Planning The holistic planning of the area is welcome although some of the drafting appears less joined up and occaisionally disjointed.

The area has a strategic role to play for complementary planning with the regeneration of Camborne-Pool-Redruth and Falmouth-Penryn. This should not be lost in the focus of the AAP and reference to this relationship should be made. It should set out how their complementary functions can be best planned for in line with the proposals of the RSS.

Truro has a vital role as the most buoyant economic and retail successes in Cornwall and the housing led growth agenda sekking greater opportunity for more bance between homes and jobs is welcomed. Customer Ref: 69Response Ref: 1335 Comment English Nature Sustainable development should be an overarching principle throughout the plan. There is currently a lack of emphasis on biodiversity and geodiversity issues. Customer Ref: 244Response Ref: 374 Comment Feock Parish Council Overall an excellent vision for the future. Concerned that the plan only covers 19 yesrs when some infrastructure projects should be projected further to ensure delivery. The plan does not proposed to bypass Truro and should consider additional road needs.

Some of the phrases used in the plan may not be in common use, such as 'public realm' these should be explained.

The issues identified for the communities of Truro and Threemilestone are common to many rural parishes - when will parishes be allowed to develop similar area plans? Customer Ref: 547Response Ref: 513 Comment Government Office for The South West The plan must be clear and specific about the main development, infrastructure and environmental actions proposed. The plan currently takes the approach of making quantified site- specific allocations by area and sector rather than quantified site-specific proposals for each of the main sites. This appears to conflict with PPS12 by reducing clarity and the value of the plan as a basis for implementation. The plan should be more specific.

Do the strategies refered to in various policies mean that preferred strategies that will be firmed up at submission stage? The next stage will have to be specific.

Generally each site specific proposal should quantify the main development components and proposed mix and propose other features (e.g highways and open space). This should not be prescriptive , but should provide a clear benchmark against which the applications can be assessed.

In relation to chapters 5, 6 and 7 it would be more effective to group policies into area based chapters (e.g. City Centre, Highertown Corridor, Newham and East) rather than topic based chapters. This will ensure a spatial plan with strong emphasis on creating and strengthening sustainable communities and integrating development, infrastructure and environment. Customer Ref: 1033Response Ref: 677 Comment Martyn and Sue Alvey I recognise the need for affordable housing in the city and that Truro must accept its share of housing, however there is little justification for further full cost housing that would lead to to an increase in second homes in the County.

I fully support proposals to make more of the city waterfront. This will be a significant challenge hampered by the presence of ugly, out of character buildings.

Page 2 of 156 General Comments General Customer Ref: 1085Response Ref: 766 Comment RPS (Devon & Cornwall Constabulary) Devon and Cornwall Constabluary (D&CC) have a recognised requirement for new police facilities in Truro. The existing police station is outdated and no longer meets requirements. The replacement facility could be provided by 2,300 sq metres on the outskirts of Truro or 1396 sq metres police station and office space elsewhere. A shop front unit of 400 sq metres in the city centre is also required to provide a public access point.

The police station is designated as an 'opportunity building' however there is no description of what this is. D&CC seek reassurance that this will not have a detrimental impact on future proposals for the redevelopment of the site. Customer Ref: 1107Response Ref: 771 Comment Mr R Damerell The attempt to produce a long term vision fro Truro and Threemilestone is to be supported and congratulated. Planning by its vary nature cannot forsee all future circumstances and can be based on inaccurate premises and data. The proposed development of Truro is rapid and massive - if mistakes are made, the impact will be of a similar scale. Customer Ref: 1124Response Ref: 865 Comment Carol Taylor The bus station should be relocated to the railway station with a hoppa bus accessign the city centre. This could be extended to Old and New County hall on Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday to provide a park and ride service. If the city is to be expanded in the manner shown it will require more park and ride facilities. The removal of the bus station would allow the route across Lemon Quay to be closed and the site could be used for disabled parking.

I support the protection of the landscape.

There should be more facilities for children and young people in the city. There should be 1 bed affordable hosuing for the young and more seltered accommodation for the elderly in parts of Truro where they would feel safe. It would also be nice to see more individual shops rather than big chains. Customer Ref: 1125Response Ref: 873 Comment D R Smith Supermarkets are not addressed sufficiently in the AAP. If Tesco does not move there will be a botle neck and people will not use park and ride for their shopping at Tesco. Morlaix Avenue would benefit if the distributor road went into the car park from the other side, but it would still leave Tregolls Road. If Tesco do move close to a park and ride this would be an advantage although Tesco may lose out to people bypassing the centre to shop at the supermarket. Customer Ref: 1127Response Ref: 884 Comment Mrs Crocker It is extremely important that everyone who lives in Truro is close to a greenspace for recreation.

Shops need to be within walking distance of residential areas rather than encouraging car journeys to supermarkets. Customer Ref: 1129Response Ref: 895 Comment Mr L R Richards Tree Preservation orders need to be better enforced to prevent felling by developers.

Lemon Quay is a failure as open space, semi-pedestrianised and used for commercial gain. It should be given over to an urban park with mature trees, lawns and paths with the Lander monument relocated to provide a focal point. Vehicles should be removed from the piazza. The park will need to be adequately policed.

More attention needs to be paid to preventing and removing illegal advertisements. Customer Ref: 1130Response Ref: 898 Comment Miss P Peacock The main problem for Truro is traffic, parked cars and lax traffic policing. Residential areas aer choked with inconsiderate commuter and shopper parking. Stricter parking controls are needed as well as employers such as County Council providing adequate parking. Page 3 of 156 General Comments General Customer Ref: 1138Response Ref: 927 Comment Alex Russell There should be more recycling facilities provided in Truro rather than just two.

Are you going to knock down housing to create new housing?

Is there any room for a port? Customer Ref: 1139Response Ref: 928 Comment Jessica Adcock Why is the recycling centre right next to the housing? Will the housing development be eco friendly? Customer Ref: 1141Response Ref: 931 Comment Marija Vanloef The plan is well presented and clear making an easy read. Customer Ref: 1142Response Ref: 936 Comment Miss E S Brown Any new major road should be named after our German twin town of Boppard. Customer Ref: 1148Response Ref: 950 Comment Jane Marley Overall a well throught out and reasonable plan. Thank you. Customer Ref: 1148Response Ref: 951 Comment Jane Marley I work in Truro but would prefer to have better access to the countryside, river and greenspaces. I would like to see the Tesco site redeveloped as a park or trees on or near Lemon Quay. Views of the cathedral should be preserved in any redevelopment. Customer Ref: 1151Response Ref: 977 Comment Peter Garner A district centre should be located at Focus, old Richard Lander School site or Truro golf course site.

I support the strategy of protecting the landscape setting of the bowl of Truro. Customer Ref: 1157Response Ref: 1014 Comment Hall for Cornwall The work undertaken in the plan is welcome. Whilst it is appreciated that the work is broadbrush it should detail more how the plan will ensure that the unique character of the city can play a living part in its future. To continue to be a success it must be contemporary in action and cultured in outlook, retaining its heritage. It would help if the AAP made explicit the actions that will support this goal. Customer Ref: 1174Response Ref: 116 Comment Miss A M Bassett Would like to know the likelihood of land at Greenbottom being granted permission for residential. Customer Ref: 1181Response Ref: 134 Comment Mrs J Reynolds All new building in the city centre should be low rise. No more building down Malpas Road. No thought has been given to traffic A30 to Falmouth. No evidence of any replacement public car parking to replace any likely to go. Where is central coach parking to be?

Page 4 of 156 General Comments General Customer Ref: 1183Response Ref: 140 Comment PB & SL Wilson Small colour document is a good attempt to explain the full AAP but it fails because the maps are too small. A supplement with large scale maps should be distributed in the West Briton. Customer Ref: 1184Response Ref: 142 Comment Andrew Tribute Boscawen Park is one of the major recreational areas in Truro and was built on reclaimed land that was created by dredging the river. This could be done again to create a new car park for the Newham and city centre areas. The dredging of the river would also help recreational boats such as Enterprise boats which currently has to bus people through the narrow village of Malpas. Customer Ref: 1191Response Ref: 156 Comment Sunny Corner Nurseries Chacewater already has a massive amount of traffic running through it and needs a form of traffic control or calming. The amount of traffic leads to intolerable noise pollution. Customer Ref: 1192Response Ref: 157 Comment Mr & Mrs Bullen Truro lacks a venue for events such as antique fairs the Hall for Cornwall is primarily a theatre and tents set up in the piazza are unsuitable in bad weather. Maybe a new theatre should be built overlooking the river and the Hall for Cornwall could be returned to its former use. Customer Ref: 1195Response Ref: 165 Comment Mr & Mrs Wain 1. Small scale developments evenly distributed are best for Truro. 2. This massive plan is out of all proportion for the small city of Truro. 3. Truro would be wrecked and damaged forever if the Action Plan was passed. 4. There has been no consultation with the people of Truro about forming a sensible plan. 5. Why were we not informed of this Action Plan. Customer Ref: 1200Response Ref: 183 Comment St Clement Parish Council Too much focus on the Highertown area. Why not leisure facilities at Boscawen Park, penair or the Cattle Market area. Carrick offices sited to the east would not necessitate workers having to travel through this already overdeveloped area. Customer Ref: 1204Response Ref: 189 Comment Mr P Bent Urban sprawl to Threemilestone should be acknowledged as a past planning mistake and should not be compounded by the proposed intensification. Truro is at risk of losing its inherent beauty and nice environment if it is not complimented with compatible development around its city fringes in all directions. Land should be be reclaimed and developed along the muddy estuarine area and made into a nice feature of the city. Customer Ref: 1205Response Ref: 191 Comment Ms S Hall The concept of a waterfront with cafes, moorings for boats and sociable areas is very commendable. Additional affordable housing is of prime importance as is a plan to reduce traffic congestion within the city.

Page 5 of 156 General Comments General Customer Ref: 1208Response Ref: 197 Comment Mrs S Pocock Appalled at the vast scale of development, which the infrastructure of Truro cannot possibly support. 1. The roads will become a permanent traffic jam. 2. Concreting of large areas for housing will not allow for drainage and this low lying city will suffer from flooding. 3. All facilities here are inadequate to provide for a 50% increase in population. Appreciate that it is necessary to provide more homes but why not build in small developments in various areas of the county where housing would not have such disastrous effect on this city. Customer Ref: 1212Response Ref: 219 Comment Andrew Family Trust Part of the Trusts land has been classified as part of 'Biodiversity corridors', does this prevent the use of land as agricultural land? Customer Ref: 1214Response Ref: 225 Comment Trethowan Heights Residents Group There has been a represensible lack of information and poor publicity about this plan. Maps are almost indecipherable and the colours hard to distinguish, Highertown is difficult to understand. The implied connection between travelling into Truro to work or education is not as clear cut as suggested, many people live outside the city from preference. Customer Ref: 1215Response Ref: 284 Comment Ms V Grace Robins This massive development plan would affect all of Truro for ever. Why has there been so little publicity and why are not the plans more widely displayed and easily assessible to everyone? Obviously Truro has to grow but vision and immagination are needed to preserve and enhance the uniqueness and beauty of the city. Customer Ref: 1222Response Ref: 322 Comment Mr R Nappin I urge that you give more thought to this major project. To confine this to one area, all the houses, the destruction of a lovely area. Truro and its uniqueness will disappear. Customer Ref: 1229Response Ref: 340 Comment Mr D Sleeman The plan shows a potaential waste recycling site at Threemilestone, can you tell me what is the intended waste to be recycled and what actions will the Council take to eliminate any impact this will have on the environment. Customer Ref: 1234Response Ref: 554 Comment Councillor Mrs A Carlyon If the plan is approved then Truro and Threemilestore will become unregnisable. Road infrastructure is totally inadequate. How much of land proposed for development or change is owned/controlled by Cornwall County Council or Carrick District Council. How can areas of outstanding natural beauty just disapear. No mention of the loss of agricultural land Document contained many contradictions.

Page 6 of 156 General Comments General Customer Ref: 1234Response Ref: 347 Comment Councillor Mrs A Carlyon No one was asked whether Truro should become a sub-regional centre during the drawing up of the document or being told the consequences of becoming one. We could well do without being a Growth point. The frightening thing is the building target of 233 houses per annum which means an influx of anything between 300-500 extra people, it is not so much the houses that cause the problem but rather the people who live in them. The present infrastruture is totally inadeuate. Disturbing fact is that the main areas for devlopment are in the ownership of either Cornwall County Council or Carrick District Council. Do not feel that sufficient thought has gone into the viability and vitality of the city centre, many shops only survive on the passing trade. Good to learn that the 'green bowl' serves as an important backdrop to the city. No alteration in the car park structure should be undertaken until at least two more park and ride sites have been completed. What price is considered affordable and to whom are they affordable? Surely we should be building 'local needs housing' Customer Ref: 1235Response Ref: 555 Comment Di Gee Would love flat paving for wheelchair access. Lots of car less days. Green buses that’s fast and with electric bus stops. Make car parks outside the city. Make more use of Lemon Quay. More trees everywhere. Make more use of the river but not as a boatpark. More cafes/restaurants in Pydar Street. No spitting signs please. Customer Ref: 1236Response Ref: 571 Comment Peacock and Smith acting on behalf of Morrisons Any developer contribution requirement must be in line with Government guidance and must have regard to the key tests, including that of relevance. There should certainly be scope for flexibility within policy as by placing unduly onerous requirement of developers. Customer Ref: 1243Response Ref: 629 Comment CPR Regeneration Supports the preparation of Area Action Plans and such plans must have regard to the emerging Regional Spatial Strategy for the South West (2006). This uniquely recognises the CPR- Falmouth/Penryn and Truro function together at a regional level, however there is no mention of this in the Area Action Plan. There should an explanation of this relationship within the plan. Customer Ref: 1246Response Ref: 678 Comment Molwin Homes In the plan, various areas of land have been proposed for future residential use. However Mowlin Homes Ltd has an interest in an area of land, which whilst not being included in the residential allocations on the plan, is indeed an appropriate site for this form of development. The land is known as Gloweth phase 3. There are a number of general principles which support the allocation of Gloweth Phase 3 for residential development. These relate to issues such as sustainability and proximity not only to employment land but also to established establishments and the public transport network. Gloweth phase 3 lies at the heart of the area that the Council has identified as being most suitable for accommodating the majority of the future development of Truro. It offers easy access to the employment, commercial, health and education resources of the area and its development would not be dependent on the construction of the distributor road and can be developed in a timely manner, without some of the problems that are likely to be encountered in parts of the allocated sites.

Page 7 of 156 General Comments General Customer Ref: 1272Response Ref: 833 Comment Mrs Brown The Action Plan seems to be short of figures, the government asks for 5,000 houses but what reasearch have they done on suitability. How amny houses have been built in the last 20 years. Even a 1000 new houses would be an overburden on the infrastructure and extra cars cause even more congestion. Customer Ref: 1274Response Ref: 852 Comment Mr & Mrs Wood Serious concerns regarding over development. Morlaix Avenue forms a useful boundary separating urban from rural. A new 5000 village in the Wheal Busy area between Chacewater and Scorrier could aleviate the need to ruin green field sites at Higher Newham and the golf course. Golf course should be kept as open space. Customer Ref: 1281Response Ref: 979 Comment Mrs D Patterson At the Threemilestone exhibition the boards were to close together meaning that only 4-5 people could view at one time. Future exhibitions should be better thought out. Customer Ref: 1282Response Ref: 981 Comment Mr NR Yearsley Concern over pollution. Customer Ref: 1285Response Ref: 1049 Comment Mrs D'Souza New development needs to be of the highest environmental standards and not just the minimum government requirements. If Truro has to grow we have potential to lead the way and build houses with environmental credentials, this includes commercial buildings as well. Customer Ref: 1289Response Ref: 1056 Comment Mr & Mrs Palmer Very little is mentioned about affordable housing, redundant modern about areas should be considered on the outslkirts of the city as brown field sites for affordable housing. Young people should have the chance to live in that they grew up in.

Generally Truro needs to grow but development of housing, industrial, out of town retail need to be evenly distributed with the emphasis on a proper southern or northern bypass. Customer Ref: 1293Response Ref: 1169 Comment Montagu Evans acting on behalf of Simons Developments Ltd Difficulty in interpreting the Proposals Maps, would help if it were cross-refered with policies of the AAP written statement. Protected open space is shown on the proposals map but is not mentioned in the AAP written statement.

Also included are set of redrafted policies to cover the points raised. Customer Ref: 1295Response Ref: 1186 Comment Mr CJ Buddin I feel that you bring the urban to the wilder parts, and this destruction can never be reversed. I am of the opinion that your scheme is too ambitious, too extensive for an historic market city still desperately hanging on to its character, that is its main attraction in the remarkable rural area which is its setting.

Page 8 of 156 General Comments General Customer Ref: 1298Response Ref: 1193 Comment Mr D Shelton The document does not address the conflict between the urge to expand and the increasing traffic. Main problem is the government directive for more housing. Need to provide more employment elsewhere instead of conentrating of Truro. Truro needs to salvage its original low-profile quiet country town image. Customer Ref: 1300Response Ref: 1199 Comment B Geddes & A Parkes Truro has deprived areas of housing just like any other town, would the money not be better spent trying to solve the problems we have rather than adding to them. Impact on widlife of all this development would be catastrophic. Build on brownfield sites, the greenfield sites are too precious a comodity and will ruin the area for ever. Customer Ref: 1301Response Ref: 1221 Comment Mr & Mrs MacPherson-Rait Options which are mentioned in Appendix A are cursory to the extreme. This is not a balanced view of development, it is not a true consultation as few council tax payers have seen and understood the Action Plan. Housing figures are created by an unelected Regional Assembly. Cover of traffic numbers and population increase are disrturbing. Lack of openess about the District and County Council's landholding. Does not give local people a balanced plan to debate. Projected rate of expansion is not appropriate for a city the size of truro. Customer Ref: 1302Response Ref: 1224 Comment M Hume Leaflet was confusing, too much use of jargon and maps weren't easy to understand. Unfair that summary of comments will be published on the Council's web site, most ratepayers do not have access to computers. Customer Ref: 1307Response Ref: 1233 Comment HS Beverley Conern over the lack of consultation, seem to be more concerned with what is required by law rather than local residents opinion. Truro does not require a larger population. Would like more information as to how this ambitious scheme will be funded. Customer Ref: 1318Response Ref: 1086 Comment Mr PRE Northcott The 1994 Cornwall landscape Assessment refers to the shortcomings of past urban developments in the coutny and a lack of screening. A very concious plan should be to develop a greener city with additional planting in the city and new developments and stricter rules for landscaping and planting required to minimise the adverse visual impact of all new developments. Customer Ref: 1320Response Ref: 1362 Comment Mr R Smith Is there any real prospect of of development around the golf course coming forward post 2016.

Page 9 of 156 General Comments General Customer Ref: 1330Response Ref: 1123 Comment Historic Environment Service The proposed site of the western park and ride is on the site of a potential prehistoric enclosure and archaeological mitigation would be sought.

There is very high potential for the disturbance of archaeological remains along the ridge to the North and south of the A390 and archaeological mitigation would be sought.

The area covered by the AAP includes some nationally important sites and high archaeological potential. We would expect early consultation on the developemtn plans to protect sites and reduce the impact on the historic environment. Customer Ref: 1344Response Ref: 1159 Comment Mr G Brown You obviously have to tackle these problems - but where is the money coming from and where does it go? Who are Newham Farms Ltd? Customer Ref: 87Response Ref: 1363 Objector Stephen payne Associates The line defining the 'limit to long term growth' should be removed from the proposals map. At Ago's Acres there is no logical reason to suggest that the line should be located as shown. Customer Ref: 275Response Ref: 389 Objector Campaign to Protect Rural England Growth should not be allowed to compromise what we cherish and result in unsustainable development .

Much of the growth will result in the loss of countryside around the city.

There is little mention made of joint working with Kerrier DC as required by the RSS and Cornwall Towns Study. Has the potential for development on brownfiled land in Kerrier been fully considered? Have the wider implications for growth in Truro been considered?

Industries likely to grow in the future in Truro will contribute to the low wage economy, industry is required that fills niches in the wider economy and halt the flow of lorries entering the county full but returning empty.

Affordable housing is not sufficiently addressed in the AAP. The approach of building more homes to increase the number of affordable homes is unlikely to result in increases in living standards in the city. Customer Ref: 318Response Ref: 491 Objector Cllr James Currie Rat running is a problem on the Old Coach Road at Playing Place and will be agrevated by new developments. Customer Ref: 521Response Ref: 504 Objector Kenwyn Parish Council No regard has been taken of the Kenwyn Parish Plan in the preparation of the AAP. Customer Ref: 998Response Ref: 653 Objector Mr Howard Newlove The Action Plan reflects much of the sustainable focus outlined in 'Transition Truro' byt as yet lacks the philosophy, urgency and need to involve the whole community, not just in new developments.

Page 10 of 156 General Comments General Customer Ref: 1021Response Ref: 669 Objector Mr T E Thomas There is a need to increase public understanding and awareness of planning procedures, use neighbourhood communication, to make planning powers visible and accountable to the public. The natural environment exists beyond the lifetime of current stakeholders and their interest and furture environmental risks are of paramount importance. Proposals must be presented in a non-technical way and the citizen and community need to be consulted almost on a jury system.

The maps in the AAP are at too small a scale to allow the identification of individual plots. The work appears based on an application by Tucker-Brown that was previously refused permission.

My response can be read in conjunction with that of the Penwethers Action Group of which I am a member and fully support. Customer Ref: 1023Response Ref: 1119 Objector Mrs J P Biscoe There are too many houses, people and cars and too little infrastructure and life enhancing amenities. Customer Ref: 1079Response Ref: 731 Objector Richard & Liz Willis The unsuitability of Truro for major developments does not seem to have been challenged. Truro's location in the falmouth estuary system and the topography of the surrounding countryside make it unsuitable for the scale of development proposed. The extent and scale of these developments will change the unique character of the city and its environment forever making it a less desirable place to live and work.

The action plan is not informed by or consistent with a number of previously published strategy documents. A number of important background strategies have not been listed in the document. These documents include the Landscape Strategy, Highertown Masterplan Sustainable Drainage Strategy, Sustainability Appraisal Report and Strategic Flood Risk Assessment. It seems a serious mistake that the SA did not inform the work on the AAP and that the public were not directed to read this important background document. Many people were not aware of background documents and earlier work and were therefore denied the opportunity to comment upon them.

The Action Plan dioes not provide a strategic, imaginative vision on how Truro could develop, rather proposing that development is crowded into area which have been subject to poor planning decisions in the past.

The AAP shows a number of errors, poor use of language and the use of jargon, all of which present a barrier to public participation. Customer Ref: 1121Response Ref: 843 Objector Bert Biscoe I am concerned that the principle local authorities engaged with this plan are landowners seeking to exploit assets. Both are consucting a process that will have significant impacts on the environment, cmmunity and economy of the city, but substantially materially gain. It is unclear whether this will result in community gain. Good farmland is assuming a greater value to the community than development in terms of amenity, appearance and contribution to survival. A sensible development plan could be achived through the overseeing of the process by an independent body.

Concern is increasing over the forced nature of growth proposed by the RSS which does not place sufficient stress upon the need to address climate change abd the implications of diminishing oil supply.

Truro is a town with relatively high levels of low income, low skilled deprivation. The plan does not address the needs of this population with a objective appraisal of the existing community's real and urgent needs.

Climate change and oil depletion will lead to a reduction in centralised services and health care facilities . Oil dependant multiples and organisations will retreat or create locally supplied franchises with a need for agricultural land around the edges of the city. Local health facilities, such as those in West Cornwall, and remote diagnosis will prevail. Centralised models will not persist due to the need to reduce the need to travel as well as changes in the economy, employment regulation and personal behaviour.

Page 11 of 156 General Comments General Customer Ref: 1136Response Ref: 924 Objector Jake Stewart Truro and Threemilestone are now joined and the plan may cause it to seek to exist. Development could make Truro very polluted, loud and cause caos through road closures. How much will development cost and how long will it take to build? Customer Ref: 1140Response Ref: 929 Objector Jenny Lowe Truro is getting too built up and plans for new housing will mean greenfield areas that people walk and cycle on will be destroyed. Customer Ref: 1145Response Ref: 944 Objector Jamie Purves There is talk of preserving the bowl of Truro but littl thofuhg seems to have been given to the rim. How can destroying the unique assets of the landscape be seen as sustainable and environmentally friendly. Landscape improvements should have vision with a new city park rather than the remanent at Newham. Newham and Tolgarrick should be preserved for future generations. Customer Ref: 1154Response Ref: 999 Objector Mr M B Stoner The AAP is poorly worded and dificult to read and understand. Customer Ref: 1156Response Ref: 1010 Objector Miss P Anderson Much seems to be done to protect the bowl of the city and green areas within the city to the detriment of outlying rural areas. These areas should also be protected from development.

Recent developments such as Marks and Spencer and the Truro college buildings are out of keeping and character with their surroundings. Newham Indsutrial estate harbourside has blocked views of the estuary. There are many odd buildings being erected that are out of keeping, whilst the council may wish to be seen as avant-garde there is a conflict between achieving this and retaining the cornishness of the city. There is a general lack of consideration for the lives of those living in the south west of the city. Customer Ref: 1186Response Ref: 144 Objector Mr A L Heppell I have yet to meet anyone who approves of this apparent obsession with growth and what has been allowed to take place in and around the city in recent years. The fact that the government has designated Truro a growth point renders all this consultation a waste of time. Customer Ref: 1217Response Ref: 291 Objector Mr D F Norman Disatisfaction with the consultation process, most people were given the black covered document and it was only by chance we picked up the full document. We barely had a month to respond to the plans. The government has designated 5000 new homes be built here, what on earth has it got to do with them? We do not have 5000 homeless families in the Truro area so the majority of new houses are likely to be taken by incomers. Customer Ref: 1240Response Ref: 626 Objector Mrs J F Hood I would be grateful if you would record my objection to this most obnoxious and foolish piece of planning. Customer Ref: 1250Response Ref: 784 Objector Foot Anstey Planning acting on behalf of Truro Consortium The vision takes the city up till 2026 but the policies to 2016, the distinction between the two time periods needs to be better explained. Concerned that it has been 7 years since the issues and options stage which was not processed under Reg 25 of the Town and Country (Local Development) Regulations 2004. There are a number of documents referred to in the SA commentary on options for Truro Urban Extension April 2006 that are not available on the Council's web site : Single Issues Panel Report on assessment of greenfield housing development provision in Truro (2001) and Reassessment of Truro alternative sites with landscape sensitivity adjoining (2004). These documents are essential to follow what options have been ruled in and out of the AAP and therefore we have placed at a disadvantage in making representations to the AAP.

The symbol should be removed because: There is no explanation in the text in respect of what this symbol implies. It would appear to have been added as an after thought. Being located adjacent a road and the park and ride facility could have negative implications for safety and health. Child care facilities are best located within the communities they serve. Customer Ref: 1253Response Ref: 826 Objector W and D Scott My greatest concern is your interpretation of the word consultation, undoubtedly there is little evidence of this prior to printing your glossy brochure. It is usual to canvass ideas from the local population about how they would like their city to be develop. Should have had some alternatives to comment on. Does not address the overall transport and congestion problem which is long overdue.

Would like to bring the councils attention to a large badger set in the Newbridge area to the rear of Dudman farmhouse. Customer Ref: 1263Response Ref: 480 Objector A Brown Question whether the number of homes and additional road building is sustainable and will actually increase car useage. There seems to be no measures to improve public transport and reduce school run traffic. The propsed growth will devastate the natural environment around Truro which will be lost for good. Customer Ref: 1275Response Ref: 876 Objector Mr J Bassett The largest issue must be the effect most of the proposals have on all aspects of life on the west of Truro, whilst everyone realises there must be development and progress this appears to be only in one direction - is this the best option? Customer Ref: 1286Response Ref: 1053 Objector Mr & Mrs Stephens Tragic to expand in a southerly direction from Truro. The loss of the quiet valley below Penweathers seems a high price to pay. Final point would be the total change of the nature of Calenick Village and creek area. We are therefore not in favour of the current plan.

Page 13 of 156 General Comments General Customer Ref: 1293Response Ref: 1066 Objector Montagu Evans acting on behalf of Simons Developments Ltd There needs to be greater clarity in the expression of the Council's aims. There is the need for explicit references to the evidence base, other DPDs and other planning policy Customer Ref: 1309Response Ref: 1023 Objector Mr & Mrs Sargent The AAP as it stands gives Threemilestone new residential areas, park and ride and an enlarged industrial estate causing light and noise pollution and increasing traffic as well as a sports complex also increasing traffic movements. The Council should respect the rights and of current residents and be sympathetic to their concerns. Threemilestone must not become a suburban concreet annexe but should maintain its village identity. I hope that the principles applied to the options for Langarth (H3c) will be applied to the building. Customer Ref: 1323Response Ref: 1098 Objector Ms A Praed I am concerned about the impact of the development on the River Tinney and potential increase in flooding. The current flood aleviation scheme is ineffective and further run off from sites is an unsound idea. The whole plan is a massive overdevelopemtn of Truro. Whilst hard to aprk, the city centre is worth visiting . This overdevelopment will strain the infrastructure to bursting - it should be rethought. Customer Ref: 1334Response Ref: 1132 Objector Mrs J James The residents of gloweth and Calenick have good reason to say that previous developemtns were a big mistake. Carrick's previous performance does not give confidence to residents that they can safeguard their interests.

If carrick has to accommodate an increase of 5-10% in housing why can't it be spread across the area? A small percentaeg of houses in each area would not produce change on the scale proposed for Truro. The argument of job location does not stand up as these people could easily use the park and ride system. Customer Ref: 1340Response Ref: 1150 Objector Mr C Richards The 'proposed limit to growth' is unhelpful. If it is not intended to build here, why put it on the plan? The limit line has blighted property in this area. Customer Ref: 32Response Ref: 43 Supporter South West Regional Assembly SWRDA supports the preparation of the AAP which will provide a co-ordinated approach to delivering sustaianble growth in and around Truro and the development of sustainable communities in the region's key growth areas.

The AAP will help to deliver the Regional Economic Strategy and the sub-regional employment space strategy as well as 'The way ahead: delivering sustainable communitities in the south west'.

Carrick must work with Kerrier in order to ensure a cross boundary co-ordinated approach to the three towns driving forwards the cornish economy. Carrick must also ensure joint working with North Cornwall and Restormel to ensure initiatives within convergence programme for those areas are co-ordinated. Customer Ref: 150Response Ref: 230 Supporter St Erme Parish Council Document is well written and easy to understand.

Page 14 of 156 General Comments General Customer Ref: 1123Response Ref: 862 Supporter Mr F Birkin It is highly desirable that any plan should provide for developments over a medium term and I congratulate you for having a vision on that timescale rather than piecemeal planning that has previously taken place. I also support the intention to retain the bowl of Truro, the intention to provide enhanced facilities and access to the waterfront, the provision of a regular park and ride scheme and the intention to increase and enhance pedestrian access to the main area of the city.

Customer Ref: 1218Response Ref: 305 Supporter Light and Life Free Methodist Church Think the Master Plan is extremely well thought through and will bring positive change to what is already a great city. Particular area of interest is the provision of community facities and would consider providing personnel and finance to facilitate such a venture if it were deemed appropriate. Customer Ref: 1288Response Ref: 1055 Supporter Ladock Parish Council Basically agree with proposals. Could a park and ride at Ladock and Probus Halt be investigated. Customer Ref: 1319Response Ref: 1091 Supporter Mr CR Jewson The AAP has much to commend it and forms the basis for further discusssion as to how and wehere the city can and needs to develop. I thank the council for a well organised public consultation exercise and hope that this will be the criteria for all furture large scale developemnt. Public involvement is key to community acceptance of plans. Customer Ref: 1333Response Ref: 1129 Supporter Mrs S Alvey I support the need for further affordable housing in Truro but feel that this can be achieved without needless damage to the countryside. Builing should be contained within the natural bowl or the Highertown Corridor.

Page 15 of 156 General Comments Chapter 1 - Introduction Customer Ref: 1266Response Ref: 498 Objector Mr D Purser The growth in Truro over the last 30 years is well shown on pages 2 and 3. The city is now a nightmare to park in and even drive through during peak periods. Mention is made of the 14000 commuters who travel to Truro but no source is given for these figure or more detailed information of travel patterns. There is no way that there are even 10000 extra cars on the streets or in car parks. The validity of the data must be questioned. No mention is made of the congestion caused by Truro college which now serves students bussed in from allover the county. Can this permission be reversed? Customer Ref: 1163Response Ref: 6 Supporter Rick and Tina Barton Mostly good, but have comments. Customer Ref: 1308Response Ref: 1235 Supporter RPS Bristol acting on behalf of Newham Farm Ltd Strongly support the identification of Higher Newham. Support is also provided for the AAP's wider aims and objectives of directing future growth to the south and west of the City, significant improvements to the City's infrastructure, strategic transport improvements and improvements to the waterfront area. Newham Farm Ltd are currently undertaking an extensive masterplanning exercise for the area and will provide further robust evidence to support the AAP proposals at both Higher Newham and Garras Wharf. Paragraph 1.1 Customer Ref: 1170Response Ref: 100 Comment Mrs S Whitmore Appreciate that the Plan makes perfect sense from a planning aspect, however I take issue with the lip service you are paying to your 'commitments' you are patently unable to honour due to the nature of the whole exercise. Don’t mention the things we value and that are positive only negative things like congestion and affordable housing. Paragraph 1.2 Customer Ref: 1170Response Ref: 101 Comment Mrs S Whitmore I hope that the city will be developed according to the comments collected. Paragraph 1.3 Customer Ref: 1170Response Ref: 102 Comment Mrs S Whitmore You note the barriers to growth are shortfalls in infrastructure and traffic congestion, yet you are proposing to extend Threemilestone Industrial Estate with no plans to improve the road. Paragraph 1.6 Customer Ref: 1277Response Ref: 881 Comment Dr J Lakin Action Plan lists documents that have 'informed' the Action Plan omits two key documents (both available on CDC's web site) these are the Landscape Strategy for Truro, Falmouth and Penryn and the Sustainability Appraisal Report November 2006. The Action Plan is in several important areas inconsistent with these documents. Landscape Strategy indentifies area that are unsuitable for development that are included in the Action Plan. It is difficult to have faith when one strategy contradicts another.

Page 16 of 156 Paragraph 1.6 Chapter 1 - Introduction Customer Ref: 1250Response Ref: 797 Objector Foot Anstey Planning acting on behalf of Truro Consortium We are concerned that the evidence base for the Area Action Plan is not as clear and concise as it should be. We draw this conclusion for a number of reasons. While the Council have created a separate evidence base 'area' on the web site as part of the Core Strategy, the same approach has not been taken for the AAP. A number of documents referred to in paragraph 1.6 are not available on the Council's web site. This has not helped the sense of openess and ease of reference that we would hope for in such a relatively short consultation period. A number of the document have a lengthy time lapse time since their evidence was gathered and the report prepared. These are being used as part of the evidence base. These documents may not be as up to date as they shown be to inform this process. Paragraph 1.7 Customer Ref: 1301Response Ref: 1200 Comment Mr & Mrs MacPherson-Rait Poor consultation, copies of the AAP should have been sent to all households. Paragraph 1.9 Customer Ref: 1301Response Ref: 1201 Comment Mr & Mrs MacPherson-Rait No mention of the amount of housing or vehicle usage in the glossy document. These omissions are either deliberate or an example of gross inefficiency. General Comments Chapter 2 - A vision for Truro and Threemilestone Customer Ref: 547Response Ref: 514 Comment Government Office for The South West We support the approach of establishing a vision to 2026, consistent with the emerging RSS. However the AAP could go further and propose developments up to 2026 in conformity with the strategy of the RSS and the spatial strategy proposed in the Core Strategy and PPS3.

The priority remains to define the develoment, infrastructure and environmental actions required up to 2016. It must be considered whether rolling the plan forward to 2026 would have an adverse impact at the detailed level. Customer Ref: 1234Response Ref: 369 Comment Councillor Mrs A Carlyon Truro has only very recently become the county town of Cornwall and is unlikely to remain so. First consideration on the developemnt of truro should be with those who actually live here. Why was the well used swimming pool in the centre of Truro been removed to Threemilestone and yet now we are promised leisure/sports facilities? How have areas protected in the previous Local Plan become suitable for development 'overnight'. All future developments should be provided with adequate parking spaces before they receive permission. Customer Ref: 1243Response Ref: 630 Comment CPR Regeneration The importance of the Truro-CPR-Falmouth/Penryn relationship needs to be set out in this chapter. Customer Ref: 1302Response Ref: 1222 Comment M Hume The present size of Truro is adequate, I am not in favour of an increase. These extra homes should be distributed into the neighbouring towns.

Page 17 of 156 General Comments Chapter 2 - A vision for Truro and Threemilestone Customer Ref: 1121Response Ref: 855 Objector Bert Biscoe Truro is a community that has not responded to demands for spurts of growth. It is one community rather than a collection of 'attractive and diverse communities' and despite recent rises in property prices it has retained this sense. It is not necessary to find an alternative to the car, rather to allow efficient means of local transport for those who need to travel. The plan fails to recognise that the period that it will cover will dominated by social change that alters present behaviour and demographic patterns, combining environmental prudence with technological development. Customer Ref: 1266Response Ref: 500 Objector Mr D Purser No mention is made as to what the population is expected to rise to, how services will be strengthened to cope. There are no details on how any aspirations will be met eg how will the environment be improved. How will the shoppping centre be improved? Customer Ref: 1254Response Ref: 303 Supporter Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust The principle of T2 is supported. The Trust will engage in any scheme/option for improved transport links along the Highertown corridor as advocated by T3 Customer Ref: 1310Response Ref: 1034 Supporter Cornwall AONB Partnership Support the vision for Truro. The opportunity to connect town and country in a complimentary and integrated way as promoted by Natural England needs to be explored. The need for a strategy for growth is supported. However the key challenges outlined in 2.18 need to have appropriate regard to Truro's surrounding environment. Paragraph 2.1 Customer Ref: 547Response Ref: 515 Comment Government Office for The South West The characterisation 'dynamic local economy' downplays a regional city . It is suggested that the economic characterisation should be as a 'dynamic sub regional economic (or business) centre. Customer Ref: 1301Response Ref: 1202 Comment Mr & Mrs MacPherson-Rait Uniqueness of Truro will disappear forever under this huge expansion. Customer Ref: 1239Response Ref: 594 Objector Kerrier District Council It should be clearly set out that Truro is part of the larger strategic area as set out in the RSS and any sustainability assessment is based upon the collective impact. Customer Ref: 1322Response Ref: 1097 Objector Truro Civic Society We question how realistic the vision is. There is a passing reference to climate change and no attempt to relate these challenges to Truro. Diminishing oil supply will greatly impact upon the city and the basis of the plan appears to be business as usual. The vision is more akin to a modernised 1990's view rather than 20 years ahead with diminished car use, threat of sea level rise and the likely loss of the Dawlish rail link. Customer Ref: 1308Response Ref: 1236 Supporter RPS Bristol acting on behalf of Newham Farm Ltd Support the vision as set out in paragraph 2.1 and in particular the aim of encouraging more people to live in the city centre. NFL believes it is therefore imperative for both the redevelopment of Higher Newham and probably Garras Wharf to take place in order to facilitate this.

Customer Ref: 1217Response Ref: 292 Comment Mr D F Norman The Council's view seems to be that all development will need to take into account the distinctive character of Truro by which of course you actually mean the Town Centre within the bowl and not the Highertown Corridor and other areas which although forming part of Truro have no distinctive character at least in the positive sense. This growth in one direction has led to the raffic problem on the A390. The area around the cattle market should be utilised for housing and industrial. Customer Ref: 1341Response Ref: 1170 Comment Mrs P Whitham There are many references to the Truro bowl which is an important feature that contains the city, allowing it to be compact and easily accessible. Once urban development is allowed to creep over the edeges this will be lost and sprawl will result. Customer Ref: 547Response Ref: 518 Supporter Government Office for The South West Concur with the analysis in this paragraph.

Customer Ref: 1111Response Ref: 808 Objector Savills acting on behalf of Persimmon Homes The AAP focuses on 2016, but should provide for a 15 year supply of housing in accordance with Paragraph 53 of PPS3. The AAP should identify sufficient land supply up until 2024, a failure to do so would render the plan fundamentally unsound. Customer Ref: 63Response Ref: 1290 Supporter Cornwall County Council - Spatial Planning The Plan period to 2016 is appropriate in the context of the Structure Plan. The guidance beyond this period provides an important longer term context for growth. The adoption of the RSS will have implications for this.

Deliverability of growth levels requires a proactive approach through policies and the implementation and phasing section. Paragraph 2.16 Customer Ref: 1198Response Ref: 178 Comment Mr & Mrs Rhymer RSS has allocated 5000 houses to match houses to jobs. Are these intended to enable 5000 families already living in Cornwall to move in to Truro to be nearer there existing jobs? Do these families want to move?

Customer Ref: 1248Response Ref: 691 Comment DPP Cardiff acting on behalf of Tesco Stores Ltd While the plan identifies the need to guide growth beyond 2016, the implications of such growth in terms of the likely need to accommodate further new retail development at the prefferred locations identified in the startegy is not expressly acknowledged. Customer Ref: 1278Response Ref: 913 Comment Ms Rhymer & Mr Nichols Where has the figure of 5000 houses to match houses to jobs come from. Is this to encourage people who work in Truro but live elsewhere to move? Many prefer a more rural setting? Customer Ref: 1301Response Ref: 1204 Comment Mr & Mrs MacPherson-Rait Why do the residents of Truro have to comply with the wishes of an unelected South West Regional Assembly. Customer Ref: 1308Response Ref: 1239 Comment RPS Bristol acting on behalf of Newham Farm Ltd Needs to be clear which housing target is being worked to and from when, as this affects annual completion requirements. AAP may benefit from following the completion of the housing trajectory, a single statement or section clearly identifying this. This will provide certainty as to what the annual targets are up to 2016 and then beyond to 2026 are based on the most up to date information. Support the need to provide a strategy for growth beyond 2016, subsequent growth should be earmarked for where investment and infrastructure is being focused through implementation of this strategy.

Paragraph 2.18 Customer Ref: 1301Response Ref: 1205 Comment Mr & Mrs MacPherson-Rait Placing almost all housing in the Highertown/Gloweth corridor is unfair on local residents and irrational.

The community does not feel in control of this process. The vision for Truro does not meet the reality of Truro and will dilute and diminish the identity of the place. Customer Ref: 547Response Ref: 516 Supporter Government Office for The South West Strongly support the priority given to strengthening the identity, auality and convenience of the city as per PPS1. Paragraph 2.7 Customer Ref: 1115Response Ref: 839 Comment Clarke Willmott acting on behalf of Treliske Estates Ltd The 'opportunities' section of the swot analysis should note the opportunity to create a centre for physical recreation and sport near the proposed park and ride site as a result of the golf course relocation. Under 'threats' it is possible that without the relocation of the course that the availability and quality of facilities for sport will be unrealised as part of this plan. Customer Ref: 1121Response Ref: 857 Objector Bert Biscoe Weaknesses should include climate change and oil depletion and the inability of contributions from developers ro address problems created.

The port rather than the waterside is a key infrastructural facility which is likely to reassert it role as linkage between producers and markets.

Lack of pedestrian facilities is not a weakness, there are good wide pavements and traffic keeps people from wandering willy nilly over the place. Access for suppliers, customers, passers by and visitors is fundamental to he ability of traders to trade. Truro's success owes much to the resistance to pedestrianisation. It is right to have a goal of reducing the volume of traffic coming into Truro, but this is not the same as pedestrianisation which is banning vehicles, shrinking accessibility and countered by customers going elsewhere. The Council's exploitation of car parkign revenues has a detrimental impact on trade and perceptions of Truro.

Paragraph 2.9 Customer Ref: 1079Response Ref: 734 Objector Richard & Liz Willis The statement made referring to the need for an urban extension is not substantiated . The fact that urban sprawl has been permitted to the west does not mean that the error should be compounded. Some infilling around existing developments might be justified. Customer Ref: 1250Response Ref: 798 Objector Foot Anstey Planning acting on behalf of Truro Consortium Consortium object to paragraph 2.9. Refers to the 2001 Urban Capacity Study as identifying the limited opportunities for growth on previously developed land within the city. This assessment is now 6 year old and should not form part of the evidence base to this document. A more recent update should be commissioned to show the urban capacity today to inform this process and ensure that the evidence base is robust. Paragraph 3.1 Customer Ref: 547Response Ref: 521 Supporter Government Office for The South West Broadly support this helpful exposition of the city centre vision.

Growth to the south and west has potential to adversely impact upon A30.

Development needs to be undertaken in a balanced way ensuring sufficient infrastructure and public transport.

Welcome the opportunity to work with the council and key stakeholders on proposals.

The Agency is unable to fund any additional works required and these costs should be met by developers.

Significant developments should be supported by a robust travel plan inclusing a travel plan co-ordinator funded by the developer. Customer Ref: 547Response Ref: 520 Comment Government Office for The South West These policies are helpful as information but need to be referred to as pollicies of the Core Strategy. If the plan is rolled forward to 2026 it will be necessary to update the strategic provision in this section. Customer Ref: 1085Response Ref: 767 Comment RPS (Devon & Cornwall Constabulary) There needs to be clarity that new development enables the provision of required infrastructure and facilities in association with such housing and timed appropriately. D&CC are committted to the provision ofcommunity policing and sustainable growth throughout the authority area. As settlements grow it will be neccessray to expand policing resources to accommodate the pressure of an expanding population and increases in evening and lsisure activity in the city centre. These issues must be addressed prior to development. Customer Ref: 1234Response Ref: 383 Comment Councillor Mrs A Carlyon No housing can be built without serious infrastructure provision. It seems the district council has difficulty in keeping developers to the agreed numbers for affordable housing and time and time again either the numbers are reduced or they are just not provided. Customer Ref: 1308Response Ref: 1240 Comment RPS Bristol acting on behalf of Newham Farm Ltd AAP would benefit from further clarity in terms of an up to date Housing Trajectory as at the moment there is confusion between Structure Plan and the draft RSS figure. 35% affordable target should be a flexible target and levels on site should be subject to other financial considerations. Customer Ref: 998Response Ref: 647 Objector Mr Howard Newlove 35% affordable housing is a laudable aim, but this should be increased and a preference given to local families. A clear and public definition should be publicised for affordable housing. Customer Ref: 1111Response Ref: 812 Objector Savills acting on behalf of Persimmon Homes The repetition of policies from the Core Strategy is unnecessary and could be confusing if the Core Strategy is amended substantially following Examination. Policy T1 should therefore be deleted from the AAP.

We strongly object to Policy T1 on the basis that the housing figures fall short of the emerging RSS requirement. T1 also potentially conflicts with 2.16 of the AAP which recognises the role of the RSS in the scale of growth for the district.

Page 24 of 156 Spatial Policy T1 Chapter 2 - A vision for Truro and Threemilestone Customer Ref: 1121Response Ref: 858 Objector Bert Biscoe I challenge the validity of the projections that are fueling housing policies. The RSS does not address the issue of how values, habits and activities will change as we come to grips with reversing climate change. It is not simply a case of providing 20% renewable energy on sites. Within the RSS plan period there will be a need to ensure that farm land is available for food and fuel production. The analysis of demographic change is founded upon assumptions that oil will continue to flow at current rates and current prices. I challenge the need concept of seting policy to build a number of houses significantly greater than the local need for Truro. It is not sustainable to entice commuters to live in towns because they will also need access to land, housing fro extended family. The RSS also fails to respond to stringent EU targets for carbon reduction.

The land to the south and west of Truro is very good quality agricultural land of which a significant part is in public ownership. It could be used for local food supply and production. Cornwall hosts 600,000 people because of cheap food supplies imported, it cannot sustain this number or any increase through local production. The plan should not worsen this situation or give agricultural land for housing.

We should be building for local need only. We cannot say that developments of less than 15 dwellings should not provide social housing. The plan ignores the impacts of climate change and oil depletion. Customer Ref: 1283Response Ref: 982 Supporter Cornish Homes Supports the requirement to provide 233 homes peryear in the city.

Page 25 of 156 Spatial Policy T2 Chapter 2 - A vision for Truro and Threemilestone Customer Ref: 1121Response Ref: 859 Objector Bert Biscoe I agree that Truro should promote policies that sustain its role as a professional and commercial catalyst for Cornwall. However we need to realise that various drivers affecting climate change provide a challenge for the concept of centres. One of the strengths of Cornwall as a non-metropolitan focus for the knowledge economy is its scattered settlemetn pattern, excellent communications infrastructure, crwativity and flexible, highly skilled workforce and university. The challenge for the plan is to embrance decentralised employment and services and the challenges that arises from it. The only region that should apply to Truro is Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

Communications and keeping up to date with that infrastructure will be a challenge. A good project would be to ensure that Lemon Street is capable of accommodating new technologies, to accommodate employment and ccreate civic pride not found on industrial estates.

Retailing will be a casualty of climate change and oil depletion. The internet and tenacious and creative independent retailers will be key. Building 200,000 sq feet of retailing in Truro is self defeating when trends in retailing are towards the internet and towns using the web to enahnce custom and create a new global shop window - this should be invested in. Less land will be required for retailing but it will be necessary to combine it with production facilities.

How can it be sustainable to be importing students from Bude to Truro for education. The hub and rim model needs to be rethought to ensure that training and education is provided in a sustainable manner. Customer Ref: 1248Response Ref: 686 Objector DPP Cardiff acting on behalf of Tesco Stores Ltd The provision of housing should be extended to include Garras Wharf area. Customer Ref: 1248Response Ref: 687 Objector DPP Cardiff acting on behalf of Tesco Stores Ltd TSL challenge the forecasts contained in the Truro Retail, Leisure & Offices Study 2006 and object to the absence of any forecasts for additional retail floorspace in non-central locations. The study includes the Garras Wharf Tesco site within the city centre floorspace category, however the plan shows that it falls outside both the designated primary retail area and the city centre boundary. On the basis that Garras Wharf is identified as a favoured location for new retail facilities, the opportunity should be taken to direct an element of the identified need to this particular location. TSL believe the comparison goods expenditure growth rate adopted in the study is too conservative and, as such, the need for additional floorspace identified in the study represents an underestimate. There are compelling reasons for re-examining the relevant expenditure forecasts. Two scenarios produced show larger city centre floorspace requirements than those shown in the study, put simply in terms of additional development, both the city centre and non- central locations benefit from the more realistic growth rates examined. Customer Ref: 1308Response Ref: 1262 Objector RPS Bristol acting on behalf of Newham Farm Ltd Challenge the forecasts and object to the absence in the Plan of any forecasts for additional retail floorspace in non-central locations.

The plan should appropriately acknowledge the scope for non-central additional convenience goods floorspace by 2016.

Customer Ref: 1121Response Ref: 860 Objector Bert Biscoe it is unrealistic policy to be promoting Truro as a 'sub-regional shopping and administrative ' centre. Truro's distinctiveness and special character cannot be maintained under the policies presently proposed. Much is currently over consumption of energy, unnecessary waste and significant infrastructural problems with sewage.

Investment plans for the development of the railways as access to the town should be paid for by parking revenues. Park and ride proposals should not be open invitations for the development of business parks. There must be tangible proposals backed up by land allocations for recycling, renewable energy and a town incinerator to dispose of waste and generate heat and energy for Truro. Proposals should be developed for business access to unlimited broadband and persuasion of government to enable the provision of council housing. The plan should make provision for harnessing the river for water and energy whilst enhancing biodiversity. Without this Truro cannot be sustainable.

Truro is facing a number of threats that have not been recognised in the plan.

Page 28 of 156 Spatial Policy T4 Chapter 2 - A vision for Truro and Threemilestone Customer Ref: 1121Response Ref: 861 Objector Bert Biscoe Pedestrianisation will be a death knell to Truro. The city has flourished because of accessibility, there is a sense of balance and self-regulating balance between vehicles and pedestrians. Lemon Quay could be enhanced by a brigatine to replace the Compton castle and provide visitor facilities for those usign the coach park to the rear of marks and Spencer. The grammer School could be turned into a Truro museum.

The waterfront is a myth. It provides a number of useful functions with a good edge of town niche for retailing . The site is heavily contaminared and conveniently sealed. Penrose's building and the refurbished warehouses are useful and the harbour Master is well positioned. The amenity area at Town Wharf and riverside walks provide access to wildlife and make Truro sustainable. This should not be lost to the pressure of development.

Special character should relate to and protect the small things and quiet places. Views of imporatant structures such as the viaduct and places like Lemon Quay should be protected. Develoment of the Nansavallon Valley will not protect the landscape setting or historic interest of the city.

Customer Ref: 244Response Ref: 378 Comment Feock Parish Council Options set out for pedestrians, walking and cycling are sustianable and well thought through. Concern raised that Dalbuz Moor may be too remote a location.

Options set out for short stay parking may be controversial. Concerned that this may result in loss of air quality and whether the policy will increase the number of short stay spaces or discourage 'day out' journeys to the city. Will it just result in more cars circulating in the city centre and increased parking charges?

There is no detail given as to how redevelopment of key buildings should be carried out.

Page 29 of 156 General Comments Chapter 3 - Truro City Centre Customer Ref: 998Response Ref: 637 Comment Mr Howard Newlove Cycling is mentioned just one and is subsumed into pedestrian improvements. Cycling needs cycle racks and traffic separation. Cycling in central Truro on cobbles is dangerous and requires wider footpaths and narrower streets. Junctions should follow the model of the northern Infirmary Hill junction.

Retail plans for the city centre should give precedence to independent stores and local markets that make Truro shopping varied. The western frontage of Lemon Quay is classic clone town frontage. Customer Ref: 1023Response Ref: 1113 Comment Mrs J P Biscoe High Cross and Cathedral Green need further landscaping.

A mix of retail businesses should be encouraged. There should be short term on street parking and ample cheap short term car parks in the city centre. Commuter parking should be discouraged and residents should not be reqyuired to pay to park outside their homes. Do not lose sight of the Viaduct but develop Hendra as an amenity space. There should be better signage of the Victoria Gardens.

Keep Truro as the administrative centre for Cornwall and develop high quality retail units with a good mix of day to day shopping and allow other towns to grow and develop. Preserve the historic footprint of the city and historic buildings and insist that buildigns that have been unsympathetically altered are restored. Toilets are required at the coach park. Customer Ref: 1130Response Ref: 897 Comment Miss P Peacock The library should be relocated and expanded as it is currently cramped. It is heavily used and there are no nearby branches. Parking is extremely difficult and older people find it difficult to access.

Truro is a pleasant city spolit by some bad 60's architecture. There are a number of eyesores that need attention. The leats and opes are good assets for walkers as are the parks.

Proposals to move the surgeries from lemon Street should be sped up. The cathedral should be helped and encouraged to redevelop the quarter as a green lung.

Small shops should be encouraged and something done about litter and noise from nightclubs and fast food outlets. Customer Ref: 1134Response Ref: 919 Comment Geoff Purcell Glass and concrete facades are incompatable with the existing properties in the city. Truro's shopping streets should be made homogenous, not a mix of old and modern/ugly. Olde world facades may look twee but make a more attractive city. Customer Ref: 1153Response Ref: 995 Comment Mr & Mrs Purnell Trafic manoevering in and around Sainsburys and Victoria Square causes congestion and should be regulated. Various road closures or alterations are required to regulate traffic. Customer Ref: 1157Response Ref: 1015 Comment Hall for Cornwall A goal is reducing congestion whilst retainign access to the city centre. Other cities have lost diversity and charcater through out of town development. A framework needs to be created that ensures access to the city centre for the widest diversity of people through active hours without forgetting the needs of the disabled. The evening and night time economy is important and must ensure accessibility and a safe and inclusive environment.

A nettel not grasped by the plan is reconnecting the city to the waterfront. Morlaix avenue is subject to motorway speeds and a 40mph speed limit must be imposed immediately to reduce the hazard. Proposals to increase activity at Newham and Garras Wharf will only serve to increase the hazard.

Water should be brought back up to Compton Castle and trees introduced onto Lemon Quay. Customer Ref: 89Response Ref: 1355 Objector A4 Architects The proposals involve car park areas being offered as redevelopment opportunities. The replacement of these spaces could cost up to £8,000 per space which is likely to be bourne by the shopper and commuter. This could have a significant impact upon those persons and prejudice the vitality and viability of the city centre. The epilogue of the Panel report into the 2002 Structure Plan referring to investment in public transport is relevant as it would be foolish to change the current parking facilities in advance of public transport improvements and proof that they are an efficient solution. Customer Ref: 89Response Ref: 1359 Objector A4 Architects One of the necessary elements missing from the plan is an apprpriate facility to accommodate coaches and replace the existing inadequate facility.

One of the strengths of the city centre is offices. Recent trends for moves outside of the city to Newham and Threemilestone are detrimental to the strength of the city's business community. There is no provision in the AAP to arrest this trend which could impact on the vibrancy of the city as a sub-regional centre. Customer Ref: 1121Response Ref: 849 Objector Bert Biscoe I am keen to see some adjustments in the town centre. More facilities for small scale production of consumer commodies and durables linked to small and medium scale retailing facilities and accomodation would support a shift towards creativity and niche marketing. Provision of web based infrastructure fro producer-retailers, linked to local supply networks aimed at capturing maximum value back into the local economy. Local manufacturing will become more important in an oil-free world.

The background text in this section should also set out the Council's consultants reccommendations in relation to capacity for additional retail floorspace in the city in both quantitive and qualitative terms.

Customer Ref: 89Response Ref: 1357 Objector A4 Architects the inner cirucuit road has proved a successful way for traffic to travel around the city centre without having to enter it. The proposals to re-align Pydar Street and St Clement Street to link the site to the city centre may have a detrimental impact on the functioning of the inner circuit road. The purpose of the road is to facilitate access to the city centre irrespective from the road approached from.

The mix of uses proposed for the site is not practical.

Unitary Council proposals may result in the loss of the need for council offices which put the scheme in doubt. The proposal to replace the offices must be questioned when the quality of buildings only becomes clear after a period of time, much like St Pauls Cathedral. The offices are of their time which was an important time for Truro. Customer Ref: 184Response Ref: 266 Objector Truro City Council The retail element of the scheme is excessive with a danger that Lemon Quay and Pydar Scheme will become polarised causing loss of retail in centre.

Customer Ref: 998Response Ref: 651 Objector Mr Howard Newlove There is no clear justification given for a new anchor store in Pydar Street given that the retail units adjacent to Marks and Spencer took up to 2 years to let. Customer Ref: 1023Response Ref: 1111 Objector Mrs J P Biscoe There are already successful businesses operating on the site and to remove Truro Bowl is unacceptable and reduce amenity. The site is too steep fro pedestrian shoppers and the disabled. The walk between the site and lemon Quay is too far and would constrian people from undertaking much shopping. Pydar Street needs better landscaping , including trees and seating with more emphasis on the Opeways.

The proposal to demolish the NCp car park is welcomed but it is unclear as to where it will be re-located. The space left could be redeveloped as a green space. Consideration should be given to opening up the end of Pydar Street which is blocked by New Look.

The AAP should clearly set out the site's characteristics followed by the Council's policy objectives given that the former inform the latter. The proposed policy must take into account the 'need' for Council offices in this location and the extent of any such provision particularly in the context of the proposed Unitary Council for Cornwall. Requirement should be that any proposal has regard to the character and form of the city centre and nearby conservation area.

General content of this preferred option is broadly supported, however there are 2 points which should be taken into account: 1. Having identified the Pydar Street site as a locationfor a department store in the preceding text, the document should then articulate this as part of this preferred option. 2. Consider that the requirement to remove and re-provide the current NCP is unreasonable.

As currently drafted the AAP is inconsistent with PPS6 and in particular the requirement to adopt a sequential approach to site selection. This inconsistency would render the policy unsound.

Truro City Centre CC9 Customer Ref: 547Response Ref: 556 Comment Government Office for The South West The implications of 'encourage' appear unclear and should say 'will be permitted'. The sentances relating to leisure are uneccessary due to other site specific policies and strong public transport links in the city centre. Customer Ref: 1234Response Ref: 452 Comment Councillor Mrs A Carlyon No one seems to know how many licensed premises we have in Truro. There is much disquiet about the proposed relocation of Tescos from Garras Wharf and it will be interesting to know what leisure proposals are 'in the pipe line' for this area. One of the reasons people are drifting away from Truro by an enormus amount of people, there are differing reasons but among them is the high price of car parking, slow access, little on street parking and the inconvenience of having to carry the shopping such long distances. Customer Ref: 184Response Ref: 270 Objector Truro City Council Concerned that licencing is currenty too liberal and that late night uses and residential use of the city centre will cause conflict.

General Comments Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 244Response Ref: 376 Comment Feock Parish Council Agree with Housing spatial policies that avoid unsustainable growth in villages. Concern that consideration needs to be given to the impact that the growth may cause such as additional traffic flows in the southern villages such as Carnon Downs.

Concern regarding Newham proposals which is felt to be an important green area - could the golf course be developed in preference?

Not enough provision has been made for green spaces in the Highertown and Gloweth development corridors - this should be reconsidered.

Note the requirements placed on the redevelopment of the former Richard Lander site - would like to see this applied to Devoran School. Customer Ref: 1126Response Ref: 875 Comment Peter Mitchell Much of the plan concerns the relation of jobs and housing and this is a crucial issues, especially for sustinability. I accept your aim of putting more housing to the west even if this accentuates the asymmetric development of the city. Truro has other functions than providing jobs Do movements raise other issues that the plan should address or do we leave them to sort themsleves out?

If we get a much higher proportion of people living in the west we have no control over who lives where, it remains as a personal choice. How do we encourage people working at Treliske not to live at Nancemere? House type and price is crucial in allowing choice. Whilst it is beyond the planning remit, strategic patterns of house prices and local economies are central to settlement pattern. Customer Ref: 1129Response Ref: 896 Comment Mr L R Richards People commute to Truro because they cannot afford to live here. 'Affordable' and 'local ' should be defined properly and affordable should be subject to covenants to ensure that it remains so. It is essential that affordable housing is available for rent and that housing for rent and shared equity is protected from right to buy. Housing should have access to green space, service and retail facilities, community and education facilities within walking distance. We must learn from mistakes like Nancemere and Gloweth. Customer Ref: 1133Response Ref: 914 Comment Alison Priest The housing propsoed is an opportunity for carrick to put forward a cohesive plan for building that doesn't end up as a hotchpotch of development like Gloweth. Please consider the impact of wildlife in these proposals, especially badgers who have setts in the area. Customer Ref: 1143Response Ref: 937 Comment Amanda Speedie It is important that each new area of housing becomes a self contained community with shops to meet everyday needs and requiring trips into the city fro electrical goods etc. Threemilestone is a good example of this although the roads are narrow and the centre cannot cope with the traffic attracted to the shops.

If new housing development is simply spread out from the city without providing essential services then commuting will be a requirement. This will add to existing heavy volumes of traffic and exacerbate existing parking limitations. Customer Ref: 1291Response Ref: 1063 Comment Mr P Woodford The housing areas proposed must attempt to produce live/work developments within the residential zones. Must take advantage of renewable energy systems, combined heat and power, sustainable building systems, high levels of insulation within the design strategies.

Page 53 of 156 General Comments Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1309Response Ref: 1019 Comment Mr & Mrs Sargent I understand the government pressure to provide a large number of houses and welcome the planned provision for key worker housing within walking distance of employers, new communities and open space.

There should be a higher percentage of affordable hosuing demanded - 35% is not enough.

The areas to the north and east should share the changes and implications of growth. New residential areas could be provided with industrial land to encourage walking. The roads linking to the A30 are capable of taking more traffic and easing congestion and preventing traffic flows into the city. The Shortlanesend area could also absorb further development. Customer Ref: 1317Response Ref: 1082 Comment Miss MG Paul I wish to return to live in Truro . My sister is a teacher in Truro but cannot afford to live there so has become a commuter. Truro needs affordable hosuing for young people and I hope that the Newham and Gloweth developments will contain affordable housing.

The Gloweth development may increase traffic problems.

It is a shame to lose greenfields but with an increasing population is is inevitable that Newham and Highertown/Gloweth will need to be developed. The masterplan is forward thinking and innovative, offering work and housing for the young people of the city. Customer Ref: 1339Response Ref: 1146 Comment Mr J Robins Housing developments should be eco-friendly and less densely packed and available to people on varied incomes. There should be much needed warden controlled housing. There should be greenpace and one tree planted per house.

If the council can requisition land - cannot it require that empty space above shops be turned into flats by giving grants for conversion? This could make the city centre safe and friendly and reduce the number of new build homes. Customer Ref: 41Response Ref: 51 Objector Catherine E Grubb & John M Smith Uncertain of whom will occupy the proposed 8,500 houses -do the housing numbers relate to the projected population figures in the next decade? The relevant figures would be useful.

The strategy of putting people near their employment is not realistic - who will occupy the new homes?

There is little reference to affordable housing - this should be given amplification.

High quality housing as proposed could be vulnerable to second home purchase. This should be acknowledged, if not addressed by Carrick.

No explanation of key worker or student accommodation is given - adiditonal detail should be provided. Customer Ref: 89Response Ref: 1351 Objector A4 Architects There will be growth up to 2026 and Truro is likely to remain the urban area that is preferred for further growth by Government. The area between Gloweth and Threemilestone is not the solution. Areas closer to the city centre should be explored. Land to the South of New Mills Lane and to the North of Malabar, Pencoose Farm, Land between the rugby club and Malpas Lane would be more sustainable with fewer infrastructure problems. Sites with slopes should not be avoided as there is history of the development of sloping sites throughout the county.

Page 54 of 156 General Comments Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 515Response Ref: 503 Objector Wainhomes The Tregolls Road protected road corridor is not identified in the latest Local Transport Plan. The route is not referenced in the AAP. The purpose of the land being left undeveloped was for the provision of the route, however the land should no longer be designated as a protected route. Reference in IR1 to improvements to Tregolls Road to prioritise public transport demonstrate that the route is therefore not required.

The site should be allocated for residential development. Customer Ref: 521Response Ref: 511 Objector Kenwyn Parish Council Air quality in the Highertown corridor would be adversely impacted upon by the provision of 2300 houses in the area. Customer Ref: 521Response Ref: 506 Objector Kenwyn Parish Council The Parish Council considers that the best place for development is on the Shortlanesend Road, including the caravan park and land as far the substation. This could be served by a Northern distributor road . This can only be supported with the provision of appropriate infrastructure. Customer Ref: 998Response Ref: 649 Objector Mr Howard Newlove There should be a stronger commitment to residential use in the city centre where facilities and shops can be easily accessed on foot. Customer Ref: 998Response Ref: 638 Objector Mr Howard Newlove Footpath and cycle linkages are not mentioned in any of the preferred housing site policies other than H5

A focus of proposed housing should be to partially reclaim the streets from ppurely vehicular traffic outlined in Home Zones.

Development of the cattle market site should take into account the restricted A39 approach and retail impact on the uplands Co-op. There should be a presumption against non local retail in this location.

Newham park preserves some of the green ridgeline of the Truro bowl but a move by Tesco to this site would exacerbate traffic problems on Morlaix Avenue. If Tesco does moev from garras Wharf the vacated area should be considered for a mixture of housing and parkland. Customer Ref: 1028Response Ref: 676 Objector E J Lingham Truro is blessed with an exceptionally fine location owing to a combination of natural features and economic factors which have contained the city's growth and physical spread. Every plan to meet current pressures for growth must show sensitive respect for the very high quality of the locality's natural assets. The southern aspects of the city are covered by high quality landscapes and new development would push urban limits up to the boundaries of the AONB and SSSI, add to intrinsically severe problems with traffic flow and management and waste resources that could be used for selective infrastructure development to the north.

Most of the countryside to the north of the city, whilst attractive, would not meit protective designations. Much of the land bettween the A390 to Redruth and A39 to Newquay is relatively level agricultural land giving a potential for development in the North, well related to A and B roads and relatively level access to the A30. Development to the south would be pointlessly damaging and without demonstrable need. Building at Higher Newham would intrude visually and environmentally on the AONB in a completely unneccessary and totally avoidable manner which would be contrary to the principles of its orignial designation and continuing need for preservation. Customer Ref: 1111Response Ref: 835 Objector Savills acting on behalf of Persimmon Homes It is surprising that the Council has not identified the expected capacity of each of the allocated development sites or the quantum of development vailable for each of the identified land uses. We do not consider that sufficient land has been identified for a 15 year supply of housing.

Page 55 of 156 General Comments Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1130Response Ref: 900 Objector Miss P Peacock Some additional housing is required, but this will not solve the problem unless controlled to prevent use as holiday lets or retirement. Additional housign may cause further congestion. Commuters are unlikely to move to Truro from rural or seaside areas. Customer Ref: 1132Response Ref: 908 Objector Mr J A Yearsley Even if commuters relocate to Truro, they will still drive. A big new car park would help to relieve constant congestion . We do not need more hiousing, this small city is full already. You should be looking at moving employment out of the city centre. Customer Ref: 1146Response Ref: 947 Objector R Carr it appears that Truro will join up with Redruth and Camborne. The north, south and east should be explored. Roads shown on the plans as majr are in fact minor roads. Customer Ref: 1166Response Ref: 8 Objector Thomas Brothers Note that housing is to be concentrated to the south of the city. This area is very congested and will not be adequately addressed by park and ride.

Suggest allocation of land at Penhellick, Coldrose and Polquick. Area has excellent access to A30 and A390. Land is much closer to the city centre than Highertown Corridor and Polquick land is walkable to the centre. The land is immediately available for development. Customer Ref: 1260Response Ref: 474 Objector Mr Whitham Object to proposed development of Newham. Development to the west and north west of the A390 would be the logical solution. The topography is conducive to the mix of housing that is necessary. A new distributor road would be constructed across virtually empty farmland and therefore would not change the lives of thousands of residents in the Hgighertown area. If urban sprawl is allowed to spoil the landscape of Calenick Creek and other rural gems, there is no chance of keeping Truro the unique small city that we all appreciate. The character of this city and its surrounding countryside would be changed forever - there is no going back. There are numerous statements in this document which contradict each other. In the early pages, Carrick planners pledge to preserve Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and areas of Special Scientific Interest. Later in the document the plan is to destroy these special areas. The personnel in the planning office have obviously spent several years researching and designing the Core Strategy and the Truro, Threemilestone Area Action Plan. A grat deal of time and money has been spent on this task. It is a very clear, well laid out document but many of the arguments are flawed as pointed out in my full representation. I urge the planners to rethink the whole scheme and not to be influenced by the wishes of developers and large retailers. The Carrick ratepayers are entitled to voice their opinions. These opinions should be taken very seriously before recommending the Action Plan to the Regional Assembly. There are 26 houses in Calenick and every single householder is against the proposed development. They may not have submitted an individual protest but have contributed to the Calenick Residents Association document. Customer Ref: 1266Response Ref: 501 Objector Mr D Purser Development near to Calenick is wrong as it would spoil an outstandingly beautiful area. The rest of the proposed housing seems to be a knee jerk to filling in the gap between Truro and the railway line. The impact of all this development has not been mentioned. There is not enough evidence for comments such as giving a strong community focus in Highertown. If there is one unitary council it could be sited outside Truro and the existing County and District offices could be developed for housing. There is no evidence that this plan will provide a city small enough to be a community yet big enough to have most of the facilities I want. Why cant we start with how much bigger you want Truro to grow and how do we reduce the amount of traffic on our roads. From this we can progress to other issues like areas for housing.

Page 56 of 156 General Comments Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1267Response Ref: 712 Objector Mr Fenlon There are several developments proposed that fall within the problem drainage catchment of the River Tinney that could result in serious flooding due to the extra pressure from additional sewerage, drainage and run off. Flood protection measures already carried out would be ineffective and even with extensive engineering works there could still be a severe risk from flash floods and winter storms. Customer Ref: 1271Response Ref: 801 Objector Mr & Mrs Guest Any new development within the River Tinney catchment would seriously increase the risk of flooding in Calenick village. Such a propsal is negligent particularly when one takes into account the likelihood of sea level rise as a result of global warming. Customer Ref: 1312Response Ref: 1041 Objector Mr P Butt The reason why traffic congestion is so bad is because Truro has not been developed equally. Instead of more development on the Threemilestone side it could be concentrated on the B3284 and the A3076 offering quick access to the A30. Customer Ref: 1315Response Ref: 1070 Objector Mrs S Trevail Many of the 14,000 workers migrating into the city live in Camborne/Redruth where 6,000 houses are to be built. These are more likely to be affordable, can it be expected that these people will move to Truro? Do you intend to canvas workers as to where they wish to live?

Truro needs more local authority housing. Affordable hosues are unlikely to remain so. What systems will be put in place to ensure that they remain affordable?

A solution to drainage problems and loss of amenity land is to create several smaller developments. A full investigation into housing need and the type of housing required should be carried out before plans are finalised. Many feel that the plan is developer driven, especially Tesco proposals. Customer Ref: 1328Response Ref: 1121 Objector Vickery Holman acting on behalf of Cornwall Care No specific provision has been made for the care of the elderly which is sector that will increase significantly within the plan period. The need requiresd the provision of specialist care/nursing homes and extra care independent living units closely related. General housing design should have regard to the needs of an aging population. Care for the elderly should not be regarded as part of standard residential provision. Or in regard for the need for affordable housing. It is a specialist need and should be regarded a an exception. Customer Ref: 1335Response Ref: 1133 Objector L Willis The proposals will swamp existing services, facilities and communities and the character of Truro. It seems that CDC have accepted a directive to build without reference to local population and the detrimental changes that will be caused. Customer Ref: 1124Response Ref: 866 Supporter Carol Taylor I support the concentration of housing close to the key areas of employment. I am unable to comment on the general direction of growth.

Decisions on a new district centre in the west of the city should be subject to consultation with the people. Customer Ref: 1128Response Ref: 888 Supporter Mr MJ Reynolds I fully appreciate the need for more housing in Truro and do not have any major problems with the locations suggested. New housing must have adequate parking to take into account modern vehicle ownership.

Customer Ref: 1270Response Ref: 722 Supporter Mr S Venison Whilst the development on any greenfield is regrettable (why not focus more housing on brownfield sites in Kerrier and restormel and accept more public transport commuters) the proosed areas for development are logical and broadly supported.

Paragraph 4.1 Customer Ref: 41Response Ref: 48 Comment Catherine E Grubb & John M Smith We find it hard to believe that there are more jobs than housing in Truro - this ambiguous statement should be clarified. Customer Ref: 1301Response Ref: 1209 Comment Mr & Mrs MacPherson-Rait Don’t consider that the population of Truro would wish an expansion of 3,500 homes.

Customer Ref: 184Response Ref: 343 Objector Truro City Council Building rates cannot be provided unless infrastructure has been provided before building commences. Customer Ref: 1201Response Ref: 185 Objector Mr C Hawkins You imply that the proposed houses will be occupied by people who presently commute, which is not the case perhaps most commuters prefer to live in the countryside or have other reasons to live elsewhere. Paragraph 4.10 Customer Ref: 1079Response Ref: 747 Objector Richard & Liz Willis This paragraph ignores the fact that areas to te north and east of the city can provide pedestrian access to the city. A good example of this is the Cathedral View development which is sited within walking distance of the city centre. The proposals map shows this as an area of >100 dwellings - the exact number should be made known to give a larger picture of Truro's growth. The recently unvieled plan to relocate to Pencoose shows the potential to develop to the north of Truro. Paragraph 4.11 Customer Ref: 1111Response Ref: 819 Comment Savills acting on behalf of Persimmon Homes We support the locational strategy for housing in Truro and Threemilestone. Land to the south of the city is closely related to the city, services and facilities. Whilst we support the principle of sites to the west the sustainability credentials are less clear. The more preferable sites are clearly those located close to the city centre. Customer Ref: 1281Response Ref: 976 Comment Mrs D Patterson Will people want to live in such an urban area?

Page 59 of 156 Paragraph 4.13 Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1111Response Ref: 829 Objector Savills acting on behalf of Persimmon Homes We object to the indication of land at Treyew for allotment use. The site is well placed to provide residential development to meet the future needs of the city in a sustainable manner. The allocation of allotments is wholly inappropriate to such a valuable site in urban design terms. It is undeliverable in practice and would not provide financially or any other way to delivering the LDR. Allotments would not provide an attractive or distinctive gateway that could be provided by key note buildings and high quality built development. The site is surrounded on three sides by urban development and is well related to the corridor. Such a sustainabel site should be used for built development in preference to allotments which do not require such central access.

We are aware of no robust evidence for allotments in this part of the city and there is not clear mechanism for the delivery of allotments on this land. Allotment uses are unlike open space allocations in that they will change the use of the land rather than restrict the ability to develop. Allotments would not add benficially to the visual amenity or sense of place or provide a setting for County Hall. Small allotment spaces within developmentswould be more appropriate and accessible.

The land should be allocated for good quality residential development.

Customer Ref: 1201Response Ref: 184 Objector Mr C Hawkins Object to the proposal to develop Newham Farm The city needs a green backdrop.

Interesting to note that it is admitted that such a high level of development will have a significant impact on the City. Bringing in such vast numbers of people will have an extremely detrimental effect on the whole community of Truro and surrounding areas. Many villages are dying and could do with 20-30 houses. Placing houses on the Highertown corridor is viewed with disbelief by the ordinary person. No matter how mant roads are built they will fill up. Placing all these houses in one area, an area that already has been identified as having serious infrastructure problems seems total madness. Not sure how houses can be kept for key workers, need more clarification. Still not sure how the council will be able to insist that employees live near their work.

Most of the sites identified in the AAP require significant infrastructure provision. The Tregolls Road site is deliverable and can provide a first phase deliverable site in advance of other larger sites. Customer Ref: 550Response Ref: 589 Objector Stephen Bott - Planning and Developmentacting on behalf of Enys Estate Comments relate to Chapters 4 and 6 as well as discounted options in Appendix A. It proposes that Policy H1 be amended to allow northern expansion of the city.

Propose the inclusion of land to the rear of Ventinary Centre on Kenwyn Hill for a mixture of housing and open space. At a density of 30 dpha it could yield 146 dwellings or 194 dwellings at 40 dpha. Part of the site is previously developed land.

Previous poor performance in completions in Truro requires early delivery of housing land. The site dioes not require any major infrastructure provision unlike many of the sites in the south and west of the city. This would allow it to be delivered early in the plan period. The site is accessible by a number of forms of transport and is only 2km from the city centre via good and attractive pedestrian routes. The site offers good access to two schools and the national cycle route.

The current strong vegetation structure will minimise adverse landscape and visual impact of the development. The proposed site would have a neutral impact on the listed Kenwyn Church. There are no similar drainage constraints on the site as there are on sites draining to Calenick. The site is smaller and discrete than other proposals in the plan. Customer Ref: 1111Response Ref: 813 Objector Savills acting on behalf of Persimmon Homes The Aap does not make provision for the emerging RSS housing growth figures, relying instead on the Structure plan figures. The draft RSS figure is the minimum likely requirement and it is imperiative that the council plan for the higher growth levels.

Customer Ref: 1121Response Ref: 845 Objector Bert Biscoe The plan should not be addressing allocations of land for speculative house building. It should address local need first rather than assuming that population increase is inevitable. Cornwall is not capable to absorbing the level of growth projected by the RSS by 2026. The figure represents a 50% increase in population over 50 years. Such increases rely on extenrnally supplied food and fuel. In the developing context plan-driven growth appears wrong and contrary to public policy.

This shortfall is not caused by a lack of developer desire but by concentration of development in an area of land bogged down by infrastructure problems or that cannot be developed within the plan period. This will continue to be the case with the AAP allocations. Problems in the proposed road pattern, surface water and foul drainage means that the allocation of housing land between Gloweth and Threemilestone will not meet the needs identified up to 2026.

We draw your attention to extensive housing and development in Camborne/Pool/Redruth which is proceedign without a new road across the countryside. Development in other locations and the north of Truro should be considered as fair and practical. Development of newquay airport to the north will demand new development to the north.

The council has not carried out any form of EIA. The SA highlights the significant negative impact to the physical environment, flora and fauna along the route of the proposed LDR. It is the preservation of the green corridors that underpins the biodiversity development principle and should be retained. The destruction of the green corridor will lead to a merging of the areas along the corridor and erosion of green areas for amenity and preservation of biodiversity.

It also highlights the serious potential impact of the distributor road on the drainage system, these are different to sewergae concerns and must be addressed.

The fact that the land has become derelict should not influence a decision. Previous proposals for development of the corridor have not proposed acess from the south.

The Consortium's landscape assessment takes a slightly different view in that it considers that 'development already dominates this view (from south of Carrine Common) and although new sites will have an impact on this view, the overall impact will be acceptable as it will be seen as an extension of the existing development'.

Also the proposal is a reversal of all planning policy since the 1950's which accommodated the natural growth of Threemilestone to the south of the A390. There is no evidence in the AAP as to how highway and footway linkages which are needed to make the development sustainable between the site and Threemilestone will be effective. Highway linkages will increase congestion, people will access greater facilities in Triuro rather than Threemilestone and footbridges or underpasses will not work and will not be used. Customer Ref: 1061Response Ref: 704 Supporter Nathaniel Litchfield and Partners Langarth forms a logical development area well related to the hospital, colleg and Threemilestone. It relates well to the proposed park and ride giving strong linkages east west and north south. All major facilities will be within walking distance ensuring improved alignment between housing and jobs. The location of a new district centre at Willow Green would further improve sustainability. The mix of housing will include key worker and affordable housing within walking distance of the hospital and college.

The development of the site is not dependant upon phasing of the distributor road so can be delivered early in the process. It is unlikely that 2,300 houses could be delivered in the plan period without the inclusion of the Langarth site.

The site can provide positive connections to Threemilestone and major employers, respects the topography and landscape of the site and is based on high quality urban design principles and sustianble patterns of development/construction. It will also improve the gateway into Truro, provide a direct transport link from the park and ride to Treliske Hospital, provide a district centre and a mixture of housing.

Customer Ref: 1001Response Ref: 655 Objector J B Solomon This site is unsuitable for any retail relocation from the city centre being remote from the shopping area and divided by a dual carriageway. A new junction on Morlaix Avenue would be an impediment to free flowing traffic. The southern side of the site faces an AONB and a SSSI. It is grade 2 quality land and south facing for cropping. The development of this area is undesirable on landscape and environmental grounds and should be deleted from the plan.

Page 80 of 156 New Communities H4 Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1014Response Ref: 665 Objector F D Hall Whilst accepting the need for more affordable housing, development of a distributor road and Higher Newham would allow a serious urban spillage outside of the natural landscape bowl of Truro. This would have a damaging impact on the setting of calenick and the unspoilt environment of Calenick Creek.

To build on the south facing slopes of the site would be destructive to the landscape of the creek, indigenous flora and fauna and the setting of the village. Development could be contrary to the Council's landscape strategy which recommends against development of the site, the pledge of the Core Strategy to protect the AONB and CLG promises to continue to contain urban sprawl.

Development of the Newham site should be contained within the northern edges within the Truro bowl. The proposed distributor road would destroy the beauty and tranquillity of the valley and the creek. Disturbance to wildlife is a major concern, especially the bird population which is rare and easily disturbed.

Any extension of the existing industrial estate in to the site would be obtrusive and inconsistent with the Council's pledge to protect, conserve and enhance the countryside. Customer Ref: 1023Response Ref: 1115 Objector Mrs J P Biscoe Further development at higher newham will despoil the rural aspect of the riverside and spoil the soutlook for residents at Malpas Road.

Customer Ref: 1026Response Ref: 675 Objector Mr TM Knight Object to development at HigherNewham that is visible from the creek or Newham Trail. The present industrial buildings have already scarred the landscape for future generations. Press coverage and publication of the plan has caused a reduction in house values that can only be resolved through purchase by the Council. .

Page 81 of 156 New Communities H4 Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1033Response Ref: 680 Objector Martyn and Sue Alvey There is a suspicion that the development of the site is being driven by a desire to move Tesco from Garras Wharf. There are other sites that Tesco could move to at the Cattle Market and the cattle market to Shortlanesend.

Calenick is a historic settlement with its own distinct identity. Construction so close to the hamlet will destroy the unspoilt and important historic setting of the settlement, effectively joining it to the city.

The true scale of the proposed road has not been detailed. Noise, light and oher pollution caused by this dual carriageway will have a substantial impact on the flora and fauna living in the creek surroundings. If park and ride is to reduce traffic flows, the need for the road would seem questionable.

The plan encourages development within 15-20 minutes to discourage use of the car. Whilst parts of the site may comly with this, the majority and Calenick are outside of this walking time and on a steep hill and require crossing busy roads. The scale of development is unlikely tro sustain a bus service so the default mode of transport would be the car. The downgrading of Morlaix Avenue to encourage walking would not work due to crossing points being required outside of this downgraded area.

The creek and its banks are a SSSI and form the habitat of rare and endangered flora and fauna which may be easily disturbed. The noise of traffic and substantial light pollution would have an adverse impact on this habitat.

The plan wants to enhance the atraction of the port of Truro, however development that would destroy the approaches to Truro would impact on visitors approaching a potential new marina.

The wider strength of public feeling against the development of this site has been demonstrated through the media and letters from non-residents.

A compromise could be to place a city park on the lower slopes allowing recreation for the city and bird watching facilities. Customer Ref: 1042Response Ref: 699 Objector Mr & Mrs Pascoe Calenick is an unspoilt unique hamlet. If development is allowed this uniqueness will disappear. Customer Ref: 1063Response Ref: 711 Objector A Proed & D Mather Development of the site would cause environmental and aesthetic damage to the Calenick area as detailed in this policy. The impact of housing and a new road outside of the Truro bowl seems unneccessary encroachment into the countryside. Customer Ref: 1065Response Ref: 716 Objector Mr & Mrs Adams The Calenick Valley is within 20 minutes walk of the city centre but is AONB and SSSI. Development of a distributor road and Higher Newham would allow a serious urban spillage outside of the natural landscape bowl of Truro. This would have a damaging impact on the setting of calenick and the unspoilt environment of Calenick Creek. Calenick Valley has absolute rights t a lack of light and noise pollution forced upon it by local development. Tranquility has been the hallmark of the valley.

To build on the south facing slopes of the site would be destructive to the landscape of the creek. Development would be contrary to the Council's landscape strategy which recommends against development of the site, the pledge of the Core Strategy to protect the AONB and CLG promises to continue to contain urban sprawl. Customer Ref: 1074Response Ref: 728 Objector Martin Roberts Concerned regarding the impact on calenick of new development in the form of light pollution and noise. If this development is to progress a guarentee is needed that the development will be constructed in a way that has little impact on the hamlet of Calenick.

Page 82 of 156 New Communities H4 Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1079Response Ref: 732 Objector Richard & Liz Willis The AAP allocation of Newham is at odds with the Landscape Strategy which identifies the site as unsuitable for development. Development will destroy important landscape. The section does not mention the SAC and the SSI designations. The development willl have a severely detrimental effect on the AONB, SSSI and SAC to the south and south east. The development will be visible from some distance and will also leasd to an increase in noise, light and chemical pollution. This is highlighted in the sustainability appraisal.

Development of Newham would not be in accordance with paragraphs 2.13, 2.20, T4, 4.8.

Mixed development to include retail and commenrical uses is included in this section but sites for retail are not shown on the proposals map.

Development at Newham will make Truro visible day and night from Calenick and Kea School, cause light pollution and noise, lose the green backdrop to the Truro River and Calenick. It will also be close to the SAC, SSSI and AONB making a mockery of their designation. The site is very steep casting doubt on the feasibility of developing the site economically and aesthetically. Morlaix Avenue forms a natural southern limit to the city physically and physcologically. Customer Ref: 1107Response Ref: 774 Objector Mr R Damerell Mixed use development and a distributor road at Newham will lead to the irreversible and unnecessary loss of landscape and heritage jewel that is readily accessible to the people of Truro. The development of the site is a no-win solution and will result in the opening up of a branch of the Fal estuary our most precious natural resource. In addition, those approaching Truro from the south will be faced by urban sprawl rather than the current distinct break from coutryside to town, this is at odds with 'positive planning' in para 4.8 and policy T4.

The proposed distributor road will be a dual carriageway and will further degrade the setting of the creek and village. The road is only necessary to replace Morlaix Avenue. It would be more sensible to retain Morlaix Avenue and abandon the development and road at Newham. Customer Ref: 1111Response Ref: 820 Objector Savills acting on behalf of Persimmon Homes Development of this land would have a significant impact upon important landscape features on the edge of Truro. The topography is such that significant harm would be caused to the landscape setting of the city and potential harm to views from the AONB and the River Truro. There are concerns regarding the technical deliverability of the site in terms of flooding and access particularly from the western end of the site where even if a solution is possible, harm would be caused to the landscape character.

It is also questioned why the Council have chosen to link this site with Tolgarrick when there is no reason physcially or planning related for the link. The Tolgarrick site does not have similar constraints that would limit the deliverability of the site and is deliverable now to meet the strategic housing requirement.

Any development to the south of Calenick Farm - Higher Newham Farm ridge line would completely destroy an area of beautiful countryside and the tranquility of the creek would be gone forever. This should not be allowed to happen.

Page 85 of 156 New Communities H4 Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1213Response Ref: 220 Objector Mr P Trenoweth The document at a fundamental level is inaccurrate and mis-represents the area to be developed as being Higher Newham whereas it includes large tranches of Calenick Farm. This is misleading. The south facing aspects of Calenick should be a complete no-go area to development.

The old railway line from Penwethers to Newham is widely used for leisure purposes, it is used because its outstanding natural beauty. Visitors using it bring the added benefits of local spending adding to the prosperity of the city. This location is the real setting for the 'Bowl of Truro' so oft quoted, outside looking in and not inside looking out!The whole area should be retained for informal leisure use and investment should be made in improving access and the provision of 'viewing areas' along the old railway line by limited coppicing.

The topography surrounding Calenick makes it vulnerable to flooding, it has a huge collection area for rainwater run off which should not be under estimated when considering development. Global warming is likely to add to this.

There is a healthy population of birds of prey, especially to the south facing aspect that would be affected by development. Customer Ref: 1230Response Ref: 341 Objector Mr A Cocking Strongly disagree with the proposed new homes in the Calenick area and the dual-carriageway from the top of Arch Hill along the Calenick valley and creek. We feel strongly that this proposed new road is being pushed through solely to benefit the traffic flow to the proposed new Tesco Superstore at Newham. This must not be allowed to happen. Customer Ref: 1234Response Ref: 485 Objector Councillor Mrs A Carlyon In reality Higher Newham should not be developed. There may be parts on the Truro side which could take some 50 or so houses but it will be an environmental disaster to develop the whole of the site. Everyone knows that should this be developed then Calenick Village will inevitably flood. There is much local opposition locally to move Tesco foodstore to Higher Newham. Any thoughts of developing Garras Wharf need to be viewed with great caution. I object to the development of Higher Newham Farm.

Delete seventh bullet point that refers to possible siting of relocated Tesco and other retail units at entrance of Higher Newham site. The relocation of Tesco to an out of centre site could impact both directly and indirectly on the city centres vitality and viability and would be contrary to prevailing national policies in PPS6. The convenience goods expediture capacity identified in the Truro, Retail, Leisure and Office Study is sufficient to accommodate both the Asda superstore that we propose and as will as a new high quality foodstore within the city centre.

Page 86 of 156 New Communities H4 Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1250Response Ref: 790 Objector Foot Anstey Planning acting on behalf of Truro Consortium The area is identified in the landscape strategy as being not suitable for development. It states that devlopment within this area would intrude significantly upon its rural qualities and have an impact on the exceptional landscape and nature conservation value of Calenick Creek. The site has a number of major disadvantages: Divorced from the city by Morlaix Avenue, requiring measures to improve access Parts of the site provide an important landscape backdrop to City, highlighted in Truro Landscape Strategy (2001) Limited accessibility to and from the site requires provision of community facilities within the site, requiring a critical mass of housing to make the provision of those facilities viable. More distant from employment sites at Highertown, and restricted bus service provision compared to the Highertown corridor.

In preference the development could be accommodated on the omission site that the Consortium have put forward. Customer Ref: 1256Response Ref: 317 Objector Mr S Watson Higher Newham must be an eventual candidate for housing due to its close proximity to the City centre. However road proposal through the site is unnecessary as adequate capacity exists on Morlaox Avenue with scope for improvements if necessary. Access to site and existing problems can be solved through junction improvements. Proposed relocation of Tescos and other retail units is strongly opposed. The store currently is within easy walking distance of the city centre and any relocation could have widespread implications on a number of vitally important planning issues and should have no place in a formal planning document without either supporting impact assessments or cautionary caveats to negate support when all is later revealed. Customer Ref: 1265Response Ref: 490 Objector Dr Knight Object to development at Higher Newham and Tolgarrick for the following reasons: 1) Impact upon the beautiful landscape adjacent to the AONB that provides an attractive approach along the A39. 2) Result in development spreading over the brow of the hill leading to a poor transition from th e countryside to an urban landscape. 3)Adverse impact from run off and pollution on the Fal and Helford SAC 4) Adverse visual impact on the landscape setting of and views to Truro when approaching from the river. 5) Higher Newham previously considered unsuitable for development in the past. 6) Development at Higher Newham and Togarrick does not help the growing division between western Truro centred around Highertown and the city centre. Development of the long term options 2 and 3 could help this particularly through the provision of foot and cycly paths along the Kenwyn valley. Customer Ref: 1267Response Ref: 692 Objector Mr Fenlon Whilst the need for a growing city such as Truro for locations for affordable housing is accepted, there are more suitable areas than Higher Newham. Development here would destroy the area of outstanding natural beauty of Calenick Creek. The advantages of any development must be weighed against the environmental impact. Development should stay within the bowl of Truro. Development at Newham would conflict with identification of Calenick Creek as a Biodiversity corridor which implies it is of environmental importance that should be protected. Concerned that pressure from developers may be pushing the council into making decisions on a commercial basis when there may be more suitable areas for housing.

Page 87 of 156 New Communities H4 Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1271Response Ref: 803 Objector Mr & Mrs Guest To build on the south facing slopes of Higher Newham would destroy the landscape forever and would not comply with the following: 1) - the councils own landscape strategy identifies the site as not suitable for development on account of the exceptional landscape and nature conservation value of Calenick Creek. 2) - the pledge in the Core Strategy to protect and enhance the natural beauty of the AONB in Cornwall. 3) the recent statement by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Authorities to continue to contain urban sprawl. The direct impact of the extension to the distributor road associated with the Higher Newham development (destruction of greenfield site, noise pollution, light pollution) and indirect impact (developoment of land serviced by the road) would effectively destroy this jewel. Tescos interests are all to do with profit rather than the best interests of Truro. We should do what is best for the people of Truro and not be impressed by the desires of a faceless multi national. The Chief Executive of Carrick has said no one should be able to look back and say that was a big mistake but now we have to live with it. The aspects of the proposed developments mentioned above would be such a big mistake and we urge the planners to abandon these aspects of the plan now Customer Ref: 1273Response Ref: 851 Objector Ms C Baker Object most strongly to the proposed plans to put in a road and develop the area from Newham towards and past Calenick village. It would destroy the village and undoubtedly cause flooding. Customer Ref: 1277Response Ref: 882 Objector Dr J Lakin This area is identified as unsuitable in the landscape strategy because of its landscape value. Any development will have the effect of bringing an urban landscape into the AONB. Any new community in this area will effectively be imprisoned between the extension to the southern distributor road and Morlaix Avenue. Developments will have significant impact on Truro's biodiversity and landscape. Calenick is a potential flood risk area. Customer Ref: 1279Response Ref: 926 Objector Mr A Hubbard Upset that that plans include a proposal to build a large road and a number of houses on the south facing slopes of Higher Newham.

Customer Ref: 1280Response Ref: 933 Objector Ms R Park Concerned at the loss of attractive and important landscape south of Truro, building on southern slopes of Higher Newham will create an urban vista when approaching Truro from the south by land or water. Concerned about the effect on the widlife in Calenick Creek and the Truro river system of increased sewage discharge. Morlaix Avenue already acts as an effective barrier to the houses on Higher Newham. Concerned about flooding. Customer Ref: 1285Response Ref: 1045 Objector Mrs D'Souza Strongly object to the development of land at Higher Newham. Would be an an appalling effect on Calenick ruining an area of outstanding natural beauty. Traffic would have an adverse affect. The Truro side would be unacceptably harmed regardless of a retained area for a park at the top of the hill. A Tesco store here would harm views. Extension to the distributor road would further carve up this piece of the countryside. Despite Newham being an employment site I do not see local housing for workers being as relevant in the way it is for our hospital where shift workers value local accomodation.

Page 88 of 156 New Communities H4 Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1294Response Ref: 1177 Objector Mr G Blomfield Strong question that the the proposed distributor road at Calenick does not appear to respect the Council's own Landscape Strategy. Would have a serious impact on the landscape and rural environment of Calenick Valley. The landscape of Calenick should remain undisturbed. Customer Ref: 1296Response Ref: 1189 Objector Mr M Sivans Land should not be built on. Customer Ref: 1310Response Ref: 1025 Objector Cornwall AONB Partnership The proposal does not demonstrate regard the requirement to conserve or enhance the natural beauty of the AONB. The AAP does not demonstrate that the proposed development would not cause significant harm to the character of the nationally protected landscape.

The landscape strategy used as evidence base has not been afforded sufficient weight in informing the proposals in H4 and H5. It is roecognised that other factors are taken into account in making allocations but the evidence base clearly demonstrates harm to the AONB. The factors that led to the selection of the site considered to outweigh the need to conserve and enhance the AONB need to be outlined in the AAP. Customer Ref: 1318Response Ref: 1085 Objector Mr PRE Northcott the site is outide of walking distance from the city centre and will not be served by city-station-highertown buses. The proposed new connection from Morlaix Avenue will adversely impact on traffic flows. It would not be large enough to support meaningful local facilities or generate community. The intrusion into the AONB would be a clear planning failure. Customer Ref: 1323Response Ref: 1099 Objector Ms A Praed The planned development and road will destroy the landscape of the creek. I am shocked that Tesco may be pushing this initiative. The landscape strategy identifies the land as not suitable for developemtn as it is an exceptional landscape. There is a duty to protect and enhance the AONB. The noise and light pollution from the road could be disasterous for the valley. Customer Ref: 1325Response Ref: 1103 Objector Kea Parish Council We agree with the points raised by the calenick Residents Association and hope that the points raised will be taken into account. Customer Ref: 1326Response Ref: 1109 Objector Calenick Residents Association The development would be destructive to the landscape of the creek, flora and fauna and the setting of the village and would not comply wth the Council's landscape strategy, the pledge in the Cores Strategy to protect the AONBand recent statements from CLG regarding urban sprawl containment. Any development should be contained within the Truro bowl to the north of the site.

The visual impact of the extension to the distributor road would be disasterous in visual an, noise and light pollution terms.

It would be wrong to let the desires of Truro influence the future shape of Truro.

We should not have to live with a big mistake.

Page 89 of 156 New Communities H4 Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1327Response Ref: 1120 Objector Mrs D Johnson I do not support the proposed development at Newham. The other sites do not involve land which is historically or naturally important. It is difficult to justify building on the AONB and historic interest. The reasons supporting this proposal are not compelling or the needs of the council or Tesco beneficial to the majority and other sites must be available. Primary schools in the locality have falling roll numbers so the need for another has to be questioned.

The hamlet of Calenick is unique and would be forever transformed into yet another suburban area - a great loss to Truro. Customer Ref: 1329Response Ref: 1110 Objector Mr ME Pawlak The proposed sitributor appears to pass through my wooded garden, close to a Grade II Listed Building. Customer Ref: 1332Response Ref: 1127 Objector Mrs BJ Knight Development would spoil the exceptional landscape and natual area of Calencik Creek. Development should be confined to the northern edges of th site within the bowl and not spill over the ridge to the south.

The visual impact of the distributor road would be disastrous and noise and light pollution will completely destroy the tranquility of the creek. I would be directly affected by the road and forced to leave.

The desire of Tesco to build a filling station should not influence the future of Truro.

To develop the site would be a big mistake. Customer Ref: 1333Response Ref: 1130 Objector Mrs S Alvey I accept the need for development of some of the site but not the south facing slopes. Calenick has significant importance as a stand alone historic settlement, Urban sprawl would result in it being lost forever - a big mistake. The creek and banks are a SSSI with habitat for endangered flora and fauna with easily disturbed species. The noise and light pollution would destroty the habitat. The plan wishes to enhance the attraction of the port of Truro, however further encroachment of the industrial estate would make it less memorable and attractive. Any citry park should be located on the lower slopes of the site.

The development is not within 10-15 minutes walking distance of the city centre and I would not feel safe walking at night.

Is this proposal about accomodating the wishes of Tesco? Customer Ref: 1335Response Ref: 1134 Objector L Willis The area (and Tolgarrick) is considered as not suitable for development in the Council's landscape strategy. The proposals will create an urban landscape where there is currently only rural tranquility. It will destroy the landscape in views from the rivers and land to the south which is AONB.

The developments will lead to urban surface water runoff containing pollutants and silt which will have a seriously adverse impact on the wildlife in the Calenick Creeek which is a SSSI.

Morlaix Avenue will cut the development off from the city and join it to Calenick.

Page 90 of 156 New Communities H4 Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1341Response Ref: 1173 Objector Mrs P Whitham The proposed development would impact on the SAC and rare species of bird and insects nesting in the creek, contrary to Policy T4. urban sprawl at Highertown is condemned in the document (para. 4.13) - will this now be inflicted on Calenick?

Arguments for the development of this site do not add up. The Truro river and creeks have been protected and any development vetoed in order to retain the wildlife corridor and beauty landscape. The industrial estate should not be extended. The AAP states that the land to the North of A390 is rural in nature - so is Calenick. It has been preserved so far and should not be destroyed now. Comments on P.86 discussses the damage that significant development could have on the inter-relationship between town and country, this phrase could and should be applied to Calenick.

Any park would be isolated from the wildlife corridor by housing on the south slopes. The relocation of the park to the south of the site would keep housing within the bowl.

Tesco should be relocated to the edge of the city - I suspect that tesco have offered to provide the distributor road.

Development of the Newham site will not remove the barrier to access to the waterfront of Morlaix Avenue in the city centre. To construct a four lane highway at newham would be destructive to landscape and wildlife. Customer Ref: 1342Response Ref: 1152 Objector Mrs G Knight There is no justification to providing a greenbackdop to the bowl of Truro by creating a new urban backdrop at Newham. The site is highly visible, forming the backdrop to the AONB and on the skyline view from the river. The proposed park would be dificult to acecss from Truro due to the dual carriageway, topography and exposed north easterly facing nature of the site making it unsuited to the use. Customer Ref: 1343Response Ref: 1153 Objector Mrs S Fenlon I accept the need for a growing city to provide locations for new affordable housing. I believe that there are more suitable areas for development that would avoid destroying an AONB that adds value to the city. The development must be weighed against the environmental impact and should stay within the rim of the bowl rather than ruin places like Calenick which has a wonderful character. The creek provides a fantastic environment for flora, fauna, wildlife and the prople of Truro to enjoy.

The proposals to build on the southern slopes would be contrary to the Core Strategy pledge of countryside protection. Calenick Creek is identified as a biodiversity corridor which implies an environment that should be protected. Development including a dual carriageway would be detrimental to this important landscape described by the council as an exceptional landscape and Calenick Creek noted for its nature conservation value. Any value of a road would be far outweighed by impacts on light and noise poolution and loss of important flora, fauna and wildlife. I am concerned that decision may be influenced by Tesco and developers based on commercial factors. Customer Ref: 1345Response Ref: 1160 Objector Jasmine D'Souza Disagree with development on Newham. A beautiful area would be ruined by the business the buildings would bring. The village would become busy and less quiet and safe. Customer Ref: 1346Response Ref: 1162 Objector Joe D'Souza I attend school at Kea and disagree with the development of 600 houses. Customer Ref: 1348Response Ref: 1165 Objector Mrs R Damerell At present calenick is an unspoilt creek side hamlet of great historic value. The proposals to build a development and distributor road will cause noise pollution, light pollution and a feeling of being swallowed by Truro. The development would have a detrimental impact on the wildlife haven of the creek which is home to a huge and varied bird population that contains many rare and easilt disturbed species. The AAP should be less shorted sighted and have a vision that protects this fragile ecosystem for future generations. An accessible wildlife park could be created at Newham, a short walk from the city centre. Page 91 of 156 New Communities H4 Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1349Response Ref: 1167 Objector Olivia Nuttall The proposal could cause the loss of irreplaceable views. Development of housing and industry will have the effect of extending the urban/commercial/industrial landscape much further than its footprint. These developments will be open to views from alnd and water and due to the inclusion of the road will have significant noise and light pollution completely ruing the rural approach to the city. The effect of the development will have a serious long-term impact on wildlife, plants, invertibrates, mammals and birds throughout the estuary system.

Clarification is sought on the proposed section of the southern distributor road and whether the delivery of this will be the precursor to bringing forward the rest of the allocation. Concerned over the retention of higher land for use as a park, this is more suited for housing as this land is flatter.

Need to see more detail added to this allocation in the form of the development brief or supplementary planning document to fully support the allocation.

Require that more detail is needed relating to density, affordable housing, public open space, mix of dwellings and associated infrastructure be provided.

Page 92 of 156 New Communities H4 Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1308Response Ref: 1246 Supporter RPS Bristol acting on behalf of Newham Farm Ltd Support the identification of Higher Newham as a preferred option. Landscaping matters can be addressed as part of the design process for the site. Community facilities should be appropriate in scale to the proposals and accord with relevant government advice.

Object to the first bullet point as a detailed landscape assessment has yet to be undertaken in determining the best location for open space. Moving Tesco as other retail units to Newham has significant merit not only in terms of its location next to the city centre but also in unlocking and facilitating other aspirations in the AAP.

A reduction in traffic along Morlaix Avenue between the distributor road and Arch Hill junctions provides an opportunity to significantly change the character of this link through a series of improvements. New Communities H5 Customer Ref: 63Response Ref: 1320 Comment Cornwall County Council - Spatial Planning This is an important site in the growth area.

The scale and nature of growth requires that phasing of the major housing sites needs clear reasoning and mechanisms for delivery. Customer Ref: 547Response Ref: 569 Comment Government Office for The South West Generally each site specific proposal should quantify the main development components and proposed mix and propose other features (e.g highways and open space). This should not be prescriptive , but should provide a clear benchmark against which the applications can be assessed.

The highway link between Treyew and Tolgarrick could delay development, be detrimental to the natural and built environment, is potentially unviable and is unnecessary. Upgrading of Green Lane could result in a more beenficial solution that would not require the potential ransom of a road over the railway, major engineering work, cost, impact on wildlife and impact upon the setting of County Hall. If the Council wishes to pursue the option of a new bridge across the railway, this can be delivered subject to caveats however we suggest that our option is far more appropriate, achievable and realistic.

Development of the long term options 2 and 3 could help this particularly through the provision of foot and cycly paths along the Kenwyn valley. Customer Ref: 1310Response Ref: 1033 Objector Cornwall AONB Partnership The proposal does not demonstrate regard the requirement to conserve or enhance the natural beauty of the AONB. The AAP does not demonstrate that the proposed development would not cause significant harm to the character of the nationally protected landscape.

The landscape strategy used as evidence base has not been afforded sufficient weight in informing the proposals in H4 and H5. It is roecognised that other factors are taken into account in making allocations but the evidence base clearly demonstrates harm to the AONB. The factors that led to the selection of the site considered to outweigh the need to conserve and enhance the AONB need to be outlined in the AAP. New Communities H6 Customer Ref: 547Response Ref: 570 Comment Government Office for The South West We support the approach of establishing a vision to 2026, consistent with the emerging RSS. However the AAP could go further and propose developments up to 2026 in conformity with the strategy of the RSS and the spatial strategy proposed in the Core Strategy and PPS3.

The priority remains to define the develoment, infrastructure and environmental actions required up to 2016. It must be considered whether rolling the plan forward to 2026 would have an adverse impact at the detailed level.

Page 95 of 156 New Communities H6 Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1111Response Ref: 827 Objector Savills acting on behalf of Persimmon Homes We accept in principle that Option 1 may be suitable for development in the future but there is insufficient certainty to support its inclusion in the preferred options document. Presupposing that the visual impact of the development can be adequately resolved (which is in doubt) a suitable replacement course has been delivered and the LDR has been completed this option can come forward for delivery. These elements have not been completed and there is sufficient uncertainty surrounding the site that it cannot be identified for development at this time in accordance with PPS3.

Option 2 is fundamentally inappropriate for development and should not be allocated in the preferred options document. There are potentially significant landscape and visual impact constraints to development of the site, including landscape, biodiversity and visual impacts. The site should form part of an extended landscape and biodiversity corridor. Customer Ref: 1201Response Ref: 187 Objector Mr C Hawkins The idea to continue the distributor road to the east from Arch Hill across Newham Farm to the A390 at the Tesco roundabout makes much less sense. The landscape makes this difficult and costly to complete. Congestion starts at the top of Arch Hill and not along Morlaix Avenue. Customer Ref: 1250Response Ref: 792 Objector Foot Anstey Planning acting on behalf of Truro Consortium The site is identified as protected open space in the current Local Plan and therefore the space would have to be re-provided as part of any proposal.

There are a number of disadvantages of developing the site: Redevelopment of the open space in an edge of centre location may reduce accessibility open space in this location. Uncertainty as to willingness of land owners to dispose of site impacts upon deliverability. The cost and time required to re-provide the course contributes to uncertainty of delivering the site. Questions regarding the impact of development of the wider site on the landscape of the Kenwyn/Coosebean Valley. The need to maintain an open nature on the northern sections of site and need to retain view corridors into the core of the reduces to some degree the developable area of the site. The ability of a mainly north facing site to utilise renewable energy technology and utilise solar gain. Customer Ref: 1316Response Ref: 1074 Objector Truro Golf Club The future of the golf club is dependant upon the redevelopment of the existing course. Timing is of paramount importance and a prolonged period of uncertainty will reduce membership and bring into question the viability of the club. We believe that the allocation of the course should either be brought forward to the 2006-16 period or removed from the AAP. Customer Ref: 1347Response Ref: 1163 Objector Truro School Development should not be achieved at the expense of the quality of the environment surrounding Truro Prep. The campus is tranquil, protected and well screened and ideal for the education of young and very young children. If develoopment is to take place, consideration should be given to maintenence of existing and enhanced screening, avoidance of excessive noise or light pollution. Recognition should be given to basic child protection with secure boundaries and avoidance of overlooking. Consideration should be given to avoiding congestion and sharing access with proposed development and maximises safety. Customer Ref: 63Response Ref: 1321 Supporter Cornwall County Council - Spatial Planning This long term option is supported although it requires further justification for late phasing .

Page 96 of 156 New Communities H6 Chapter 4 - New Communities Customer Ref: 1001Response Ref: 657 Supporter J B Solomon Subject to advanced relocation of the golf course, this land could be brought forward before 2016. A small extension into the shallow valley to the east would be acceptable. These fields are not conspicuous in the landscape or can be seen from the town. A pedestrian /cycle/bus route could be provided via Coosebean Lane to join St Georges Road. Customer Ref: 1115Response Ref: 838 Supporter Clarke Willmott acting on behalf of Treliske Estates Ltd The golf club land is located on a public transport corridor and is in comparitively close proximity to the city centre and closer than sites surrently proposed. The site offers access to range of employment, sports and schools. It is important for the AAP to give a high level of certainty that the golf course will come forward to avoid jeopardising development of the land and an alternative golf course. A definite commitment needs to be made to the redevelopment of the course rather than a statement merely to consider it after 2016.

It is not essential for a championship level course to be provided. This may be commercially unviable as only a limited number of these courses are required nationwide and may not be compatible with the desire under of IR8 to provide 'pay and play' facilities. The policy preamble should note that a new 18 hole golf course of an appropriate yardage and topography be developed to appeal to a wider range of golfers.

The proposals map should show the outer limits of the site as per option 2. This greater area is justified in order to provide the range of uses required, highway arrangements, the school and landscaping/open space required. Given the proximity of the location to the cituy and the long term strategic role of Truro there are sound reasons why the development potential of the site should be maximised.

Any development should seek to maximise accessibility, especially by public transport. It should optimise the proposed park and ride and rail links. Locational criteria should reflect this but be flexibkle enough to enable public or private financing. An allocation should be made in the final AAP.

Customer Ref: 521Response Ref: 507 Objector Kenwyn Parish Council The proposed extension will further exacerbate traffic volumes, congestion and road safety issues. An additional access point will be required to serve the development creating a new hazard and an intrusive element to the local environment. Increased traffic volumes will add to difficulties for residents to access cycling, walking and public transport in Greenbottom. Any significant extension to the industrial, retail and business parks will result in numerous intrusive and unacceptable outcomes including visual intrusion, flooding, lioss of habitat and closure of green gaps.

The existance of the AAP has caused blight to property sales and an impact on the lives of residents of the Greenbottom area. Customer Ref: 1156Response Ref: 1008 Objector Miss P Anderson Object to the extension of the industrial estate which runs contrary to the council's objectives of maintaining green spaces, protecting the environment, protecting views and character, to reduce car bourne traffic and increase a sense of community. The proposed extension would increase traffic on already dangerous roads, result in the loss of landscape and hosues and ruin Chacewater, Greenbottom and Threemilestone. A new area should be chosen in the north east with good access to roads, possibly at the cattle market. Alternately land to the north of the retail park and clsoe to the park and ride could be used. The Council should investigate the provision of a railway station for the development. Customer Ref: 1177Response Ref: 121 Objector Linda Clark I am opposed to the further erosion of rural and residential amenities in the Threemilestone area, I believe the area is saturated with new development and feel that other areas of the city should be targeted for this type of retail and industrial development.

As a resident who will be severely affected by the proposals I would like to know what compensation packages will be available for residents. Customer Ref: 1180Response Ref: 129 Objector Mr D F Croft Object to the extension of Threemilestone Industrial Estate as it will increase the amount of traffic, congestion and increase accidents. Visual impact on a rural and residential area is unnacceptable as is the impact on wildlife and habitats. Noise pollution from vehicles, manufactitring processes would be an intrusion into the countryside. Worried about the closure of green gaps between Threemilestone, Greenbottom and Chacewater. Would be better to extend Treliske Industrial Estate towards Maidon Green or locate new employment land at the cattle market.

Page 103 of 156 Employment E7 Chapter 5 - Employment Customer Ref: 1188Response Ref: 149 Objector Mr & Mrs Maycock The road at Greenbottom does not have the capacity to support the current traffic levels and the proposed further development of the industrial extate will exacerbate the problems.

Customer Ref: 1190Response Ref: 155 Objector Mr Forrest All the properties in Greenbottom would be devalued by the extension to the industrial estate due to visual impact, light pollution and the increase in traffic. Greenbottom has reached saturation point without being extended any further. Customer Ref: 1217Response Ref: 295 Objector Mr D F Norman This site is poorly related to the park and ride and therefore would be contrary to the Council's overiding aims. Totally opposed to any further expansion to the industrial estate, Greenbottom is a rural area which must be afforded protection. The estate already has resulted in significant visual impact, whilst the increase in traffic generation will further exacerbate the situation. Instead any further units should be situated on flatter land on the A390 marked on the map as an area for industrial enhancement, in addition there should be further industrial development to the east near the cattle market. Customer Ref: 1221Response Ref: 318 Objector Greenbottom Action Group The Greenbottom Action Group strongly objects to the proposed extension of Threemilestone Industrial Estate because: 1. the existing problems caused by traffic on the Chacewater to Threemilestone road would be exacerbated to an intolerable level. 2. poor provision of of pavements and cycle lanes would ensure that those walking or cycling would be endangered even further. 3. visual impact on this rural area would be unacceptable 4. there is little confidenece or trust in the council's intentions or ability to provide a sloution acceptable to residents. Customer Ref: 1228Response Ref: 339 Objector Mr & Mrs Baker The area of Greenbottom is a beauty spot with birds and wildlife which would be lost forever if such a development were to go ahead.

Page 104 of 156 Employment E7 Chapter 5 - Employment Customer Ref: 1284Response Ref: 1044 Objector Cllr Mrs Richardson Residents have concerns over aesthetic impact of development, the effects of litter, light and noise pollution, loss of natural habitat, surface water run off and traffic.

Feel that developments planned are too heavily skewed towards the Threemilestone side of Truro and cannot see the reasons why development cannot be encouraged on the cattle market side of the city leading to more of a balance.

Plan should be altered to show that the outer limits of the development should remain exactly where it is now and that no further westward development should be allowed. Customer Ref: 1291Response Ref: 1061 Objector Mr P Woodford Will further exacerbate the traffic volumes, congestion and road safety issues on the Chacewater to TMS road. Inadequate provision for walking, cycling and access for pedestrians to bus stops throughout the Greenbottom area. Any significant extension to the industrial, retail and business parks will result in the following ways: Visual and aesthetic intrusion into a significant rural environment Light pollution from street and security lighting Noise pollution from vehicle movements, manufacturing processes, ventilation and cooling systems, and security alarms Loss of natural habitat area, flora and fauna, as well as significant areas of woodland and hedgerow Increased flood risk Lowering of air quality Increase in litter Increase in ribbon development. Customer Ref: 1292Response Ref: 1064 Objector Ms L Sprake Object to further expansion due to: Traffic problems Poor footpaths and cycle lanes Increase light and noise pollution affecting wildlife and the natural plant life Increase problems with surface water and sewerage drainage Customer Ref: 1304Response Ref: 1228 Objector Mr & Mrs Carson This ribbon development along the road will result in a significant visual impact to an important rural area and affect many local residents. It will further cause harm to the character and appearance of the countryside. The A390 already has significant safety issues and expansion would add to these risks. Better site for would be opposite Lanes with direct access on the A390. Customer Ref: 1309Response Ref: 1020 Objector Mr & Mrs Sargent The extension to the expension would be the final straw impacting on the quality of life of residents. Development has been piecemeal with inadequate road systems and poor landscaping. Further development will damage an essnetially rural area with substantial number of residents and footpath network.

Further units should be located on flat land along the A390 with better access to roads and park and ride. Residential and industrial uses do not mix.

Page 105 of 156 Employment E7 Chapter 5 - Employment Customer Ref: 1311Response Ref: 1040 Objector Mr & Mrs Cook Any expansion of the estate will increase the number of large lorries along the Chacewater/Threemilestone road. It will increase congestion more generally, increasign te risk of accidents on the road which does not have pavements. The pollution and road noise will increase to an intolerable level. The visual impact will be whooly unacceptable.

The proposed area of search will destroy the landscape and wildlife in Greenbottom and views to the south contrary to CS policy T4. Customer Ref: 1319Response Ref: 1087 Objector Mr CR Jewson I understood that there was to be no further development on this site as it would constitute ribbon development. To expand to the 'limit to growth' would constitue a major link in the chain between TMS and Chacewater giving an unbroken vista of development between Truro and Chacewater. To develop to the egde of the area of search would be a serious intrusion into the countryside. There would be drainage problems behind the Old Chapel due to the emergence of the water table and run off from the higherside of the road.

The best option would be to balance the retail estate by building as far as 'Dunedin'. This could be linked into the existing estate roads and eliminate the need for another access/egress. The Chacewater road is heavily trafficed and dangerous. The idea that prople will walk to work here is unlikely, especially in bad weather. The increasde in trafic, combined with the retail park is a recipe for disaster.

Would it be possible to develop instead at the old slaughterhouse at Killiwerries? The land at Penstaze would also be ideal with ready access to the A30 and could be linked to park and ride. Is is not possible to have some development close to communities at Shortlanesend and Trispen to reduce commuting? This would redress the balance ebween the north and west of the city.

The expansion of the estate will increase light and noise pollution and loss of habitat. Before any decisions are made the richnes of wildlife should be noted and assessment made of the wildlife and habiat that would be affected by the proposals. Customer Ref: 1331Response Ref: 1124 Objector Ashfords acting on behalf of Greenbottom Ltd References in the text that seek to discriminate between manual and office based forms of employment are opposed. It is national policy that all employment uses are of equal value and cannot be discrimnated between in class B1. It is inappropriate to prejudge the demands of the market and insulting to the residents of the area to imply that they will require manual jobs rather than office based work. This is unfortunate given the growth of the knowledge economy in the area and contrary to Policy 8 of the emerging RSS. The residential uses close to the site also indicated that the use should not be restricted to industrial uses.

The preample suggests that the site is poorly related to the park and ride and public transport. The site is ideally placed to minimise commuting associated with the employment demands generated by the west of the city. It is hard to see the difference in sustainablity between workers using the park and ride and accessing this site.

Greenbottom opposes the restruiction in title of the policy and text in the word 'estate' - it should be 'area'. Estate implies that access should be through the existing development. It is opremature to prejudge the issues of access - options should not be dismissed at this stage. Improved access from the site to the Chacewater Road could improve safety on the road.

Page 107 of 156 Employment E8 Chapter 5 - Employment Customer Ref: 1111Response Ref: 831 Objector Savills acting on behalf of Persimmon Homes It is not appropriate to require a mix of land uses solely on the perceived assumption that it will create a more sustainable communtiy. Where this is required on large sites they should be allocated for mixed use development or negotiated through the application process. Simply co-locating hosuing and emplyment uses will not automatically reduce the overall commuting pattern. It may exacerbate current commuting problems.

Notwithstanding these concerns, the wording of the preferred option is extremely vague with no indication of the type, size or function of the localfacilities referred to or the nature of employment provision required. The policy would be difficult to enfoce through the development control process. Uses should be identified in the plan and the scale of development quantified to provide certainty. Due to vagueness of the wording of the policy, it could encourage inappropriately located employment development which des not accord with PPS6. The option as currently worded may be contrary to national advice and therefore unsound.

The distribution of population in Cornwall is unique in England with a lower number of people living in urban areas. With a dispersed population it is unlikely that a public transport system will be developed equivalent to one servicing an 'english' urban area. For the foreseeable future the car will be the norm for transportation. Cornwall County Council's advice to the RSS states that 14800 houses will be built in the Truro travel to work area. The current proposal is based on the premise that providing more houses close to jobs will reduce the need to travel. I do not believe this to be true.

It would be prefereable to extend this road to Arch Hill and Morlaix Avenue at the earliest time. Concerned that proposed improvements to rail transport may not be sustainable for a number of local communities. How does this effect communities outside of Truro and Threemilestone. Concerned that decisions being made on the open space audit may not be well informed. Customer Ref: 313Response Ref: 482 Objector David Knightingale I have reservations about the impact that the policies of this chapter will have upon the rural areas to the south of the plan area. Meetings held in Carnon Downs have highlighted concerns regarding traffic growth in and around the villages. Furture proposals for Truro fail to make any realsitic proposals to deal with existing or projected growth in cross country traffic which will use rural landes to access employment, retail, education and other services in Truro.

Carnon Downs currently has 500 vehicles per hour travelling through the village centre to access the A39 and Truro East/Threemilestone in addition to 3,200 heading for the city on the A39. Ad hoc measures have been used to calm traffic, but do nothing to address incremental traffic growthon all routes to the south of Truro. I am concerned that residents of the new areas will use the most direct routes through the rural areas to access beaches and facilities to the south of the city. Equally, proposals for new facilities in the Highertown area may attract these journeys in reverse.

The proposed park and ride facility at Treluswell is of dubious viability and there are no other provisions to deal with present and predicted traffic growth issues other than relying on the A39. This is unacceptable and unrealistic. The approach of siting new housing close to major employers will not redress the existing balance of journeys through the rural areas to the south and east of Truro. Viable alternative routes need to be established on a north-south axis by defining corridors that avoid existing villages. This could improve routes via Newbridge to the Baldhu/Sparnock road and a link via Wheal Jane to the Bissoe Valley and A39 at Carnon Gate. To the North this could improve the Shortlanesend route and rural routes to access Gloweth etc. Customer Ref: 521Response Ref: 505 Objector Kenwyn Parish Council No attention has been paid to the infrastructure required for this scale of development. The current Gloweth embargo should apply to whole of the Highertown corridor until sewers are adopted by South West Water and new infrastructure is put in place. No consideration has been given to the impact of new housign on the highway infrastructure. Customer Ref: 521Response Ref: 510 Objector Kenwyn Parish Council There is inadequate provision made for the provision of cycling facilities. No provision has been made for the provision of a railway halt to reduce congestion.

Page 111 of 156 General Comments Chapter 6 - Infrastructure Customer Ref: 998Response Ref: 642 Objector Mr Howard Newlove It is noted that the new distributor road route cuts through the former Newham line which may preclude the possible extension of a railway link to Garras Wharf.

Whilst implicit in the pedestrian strategy there is no specific provision for cyclists. Cycling is Dangerous in Truro and more multi user roads are required in residential areas.

Insufficient attention has been paid to the has been paid to transport from the east of Truro to the facilities in the west. The lack of facilities in the east will generate traffic movements. Proposals for Truro City Football Club to relocate to Kenwyn will breach the bowl.

In Truro centre there is a need to improve permeability of Morlaix Avenue to other retail areas than just Tesco.

Rail travel from Camborne, Redruth and Falmouth must be enhanced and integrated into the plan through liason with Kerrier and the County Council.

There is mention of increasing trade in the Port of Falmouth area but no apparent consideration of the role of railfreight or Falmouth docks in reducing road traffic. Customer Ref: 1128Response Ref: 889 Objector Mr MJ Reynolds Why isn't a park and ride being built at Carnon Downs to deal with movements from that direction - there appears to be plenty of land available. Customer Ref: 1130Response Ref: 899 Objector Miss P Peacock A park and ride site should be provided on the Falmouth Road as a cheaper alternative to extending the distributor road. A better bus service from the station to main work areas (e.g train and ride) should be considered.

Park and ride should have some employer incentive attached and long term parking in the city centre should be restricted and policed.

Anyone developing or building in Truro should be required to provide adequate car parking provision.

Traffic control should be a priority over housing. Customer Ref: 1132Response Ref: 910 Objector Mr J A Yearsley Park and ride is pie in the sky and will not work. A bypass from Tresillian to Playing Place would keep traffic out of the city. Construction of a new road bridge would also allow pedestrian traffic from the piazza to the Tesco site when redeveloped. Customer Ref: 1210Response Ref: 213 Objector Mrs S Searle Infrastructure cannot cope with more people, hospital is overstretched, there are no NHS dentista and the schools are overcrowded. Should encourage young people to 'play' on our beaches and to enjoy and respect the countryside. These plans are destroying our county. Customer Ref: 1309Response Ref: 1016 Objector Mr & Mrs Sargent The transport infrastructure is of prime importance when considering any growth and development. It is only recently that better traffic management has caused the traffic to flow in the Highertown corridor. The traffic congestion on all approaches to Truro is still as bad as ever and does not seem to have been addressed in the plan.

Cycling and walking opportunities are even more important than making provision for cars and should be prioritised. Truro does not have good record for segregted cycleways.

Phase 1 should be from Penstraze towards Shortlanesend. Phase 2 should be the improvement of the southern end of either the Devoran/Penstraze or Carnon Downs/Penstraze as far as Baldhu. Phase 3 should be the completion of the Baldhu to Penstraze section with a new flyover system to join with the A30 to the west of Chiverton. Phase 4 should be the completion of the Shortlanesend to Woodcock Corner section.

Land within this new ring road/bypass would satisfy the requirements for housing, schools, new sewage works, commercial development, parks etc for the next thirty to fifty years.

Customer Ref: 1226Response Ref: 331 Comment Mr & Mrs Bachman It is questionable that park and ride would work, making it free may be the only hope for certain commuters to take it up. It also requires bus lane priority. Customer Ref: 1253Response Ref: 828 Comment W and D Scott The schemes for the east and west but it is essential to address the Falmouth Road traffic at the same time. Long stay parking must no longer be an option. Park and ride parking should be free and the chanrge made for the ride should not be exorbitant. Ideally Truro deserves an orbital road at whatever cost, but we have a river.

A traffic census would show that there are two types of journey affecting the congestion. A) from outlying areas down to the city for work or shopping. B) people travelling through the city to destinations beyond. The first category can be alleviated by P&R on all roads into the city. The second is the most serious cause for congestion and requires top priority status in finding a solution before planning for more traffic on the A390. This traffic needs to be re-routed on the north of the city to remove through traffic.

We also question the capacity of the system to deal with the number of passengers that can be expected to travel at peak times. Customer Ref: 1154Response Ref: 1001 Objector Mr M B Stoner The policy suggests that park and ride is the solution to parking problems but there is little incentive to get commuters out of their cars. More work needs to be done to establish the workability of the park and ride scheme having reference to other schemes that cater for commuters, park and ride sites that could cater for commuters ariving from other directions and up to date figures on commuting practices practices in the city. Other soutions to long term parking in the city could involve underground parking, edge of city parking, discouraging short term parking and providing a bus for shoppers, using the park and ride buses to pick up residents from surrounding areas, use of commuter trains and extending the enterprise ferry boats into a park and float system. Customer Ref: 1188Response Ref: 150 Objector Mr & Mrs Maycock The park and ride should be located close to Chiverton roundabout, this would keep traffic off the A390.

Customer Ref: 1276Response Ref: 879 Objector Mr & Mrs Harris Accept the need for such a scheme to divert traffic from the city centre. However we are concerned that this would affect our property in many ways that would be the start of complete surrounding if the land designated as a stadium on the Threemilestone roundabout going towards East Langarth would hem us in. There are many environmental objections we could raise but being the only property in the vincinity our lone voice may not be heard. Customer Ref: 1292Response Ref: 1065 Objector Ms L Sprake We understand and appreciate the need to relieve Truro of traffic congestion, it seems to be more logical to have this park and ride sited off the Chiverton Cross roundabout which would relieve the basic two-way road between Chiverton Cross and Langarth Farm of the present/increased congestion.

A better idea would be parking in satellite villages and increased bus services intot he city. Customer Ref: 1319Response Ref: 1088 Objector Mr CR Jewson The current proposal does not add up and will compound congestion issues around Threemilestone and bring more traffic through Chacewater. The park and ride should be moved out to Penstraze, possibly amoungst the turbines which woud reduce pressure on the Chiverton Roundabout. More htought needs to be given to the number of buses required to deal with the number of people travelling into work.

This will reduce traffic coming into the city at rush hour and reduce day time visitor traffic, particularly in the summer. In order to be vaiable, the park and ride must be cheaper than longstay parking in the city, run with sufficient regularity between 7.30am and 7.30pm and there must be a core of long stay parking retained in the city to accommodate workers who need access to their car during the day.

Customer Ref: 1128Response Ref: 890 Supporter Mr MJ Reynolds I have no sustainable objections to a park and ride at Langarth, alhtough I would have preferred the location to be at Chiverton. The facility should provide comfortable waiting facilities under cover, new buses, run the facility from 7am to 7pm (5pm on Sundays), ensure that buses run on time, keep prices low, do not reserve spaces for particular working groups - this is nepotism and sends out the wrong signals.

It is key that sufficient space is allowed for drainage anf provide storage in extreme events. Drainage to SuDS on steep slopes may require deep infiltration to prevent reappearance lower down the slope, with reprofiling works required for the road, this should be considered at an early stage. A quantitative initial assessment of the drainage requirements must be undertaken. Customer Ref: 998Response Ref: 625 Comment Mr Howard Newlove The road currently appears on plan to cut through the cycle path below County Hall. This should be rerouted to keep connection with A390.

Page 127 of 156 Infrastructure IR4 Chapter 6 - Infrastructure Customer Ref: 89Response Ref: 1345 Objector A4 Architects The description of a 'distributor road' is not specified. The current proposal is to carry 20,000 vehicles a day diverted from the A390, plus growth - is this a distributor road or a bypass? The road must be government funded intially to ensure delivery in the plan period. Paragraph 6.11 states that all development in the urban extension will be expected to contribute to the cost of the development of the LDR. This is reasonable depending on the size of contribution.

Without initial Government funding it would be unreasonable to expect developers to fund a distributor road out of capital rather than later project earnings, especially when the majority of use of the road will be to overcome inadequacies of the A390. If the LDR is to be funded by develoeprs it will need to be started at the eastern end close to the County Arms. It would also be reasonable to expect the section of the road to Green Lane to be contructed as the first part to minimise disruption. If the road is to be funded by develoeprs it could be that it will not be able to relieve the A390 until late in the plan period. Development has consistently failed to achieve programmed build rates and a delay caused by the road would be a disaster. The developer funding of the later phases of the LDR will be restricted by topography and offer little or no development opportunities and there few funding opportunities.

The road has a greater chance of generating a series of small isolated communities divided by a major traffic route than producing townscape that is part of Truro.

Whilst the line of the LDR is diagrmmatic, it needs to be further explored before adoption. The eastern section has problems with levels including the need to construct a bridge over the railway. This will neded to be contructed at the same level as the existing which will require a large embankment or supporting on columns. To start at the western end would simply increase the volume of traffic at Maiden Green to the city centre. The programme for identifying land and building the LDR is unreaslistic. Customer Ref: 152Response Ref: 231 Objector Truro Chamber of Commerce The distributor road will not help the flow of traffic. A bypass would be more effective in the long term, alleviating the impact of traffic through the city.

Page 128 of 156 Infrastructure IR4 Chapter 6 - Infrastructure Customer Ref: 1021Response Ref: 674 Objector Mr T E Thomas The proposed alignment of the road will cause noise and pollution impacting upon my health and self sufficient fruit and vegetable operation. The plans make no indication of cuttings or embankments and I assume that the road will be on the basis of the previously refused application. A road in a steep cutting would impact on my drainage and land and expose it to east and south east weather. I do not believe that the road proposals has been subject to appropriate assessments such as EIA. The fields affected by the proposed development are of permanent pastures of top quality fertility . Recent heavy rainfall has been vitrtually all absorbed by the land. Drainage will be detrimentally impacted upon by development proposals. There is a good deal of wildlife and biodiversity in the proposed development area and no indication of how the proposals will minimise disruption. There is also a TPO placed on trees in the area.

I am not sufficiently aquainted to comment on land to the east or west but can report loss of property value as a result of the publication of these plans. Limited development of the Dudman land with existing infrastructure could be acceptable. Since the Richard Lander School has been moved, there has been a noticable improvement in traffic movement on the A390. Further improvements can be made through flexible working hours. The LDR should be abandoned.

Page 129 of 156 Infrastructure IR4 Chapter 6 - Infrastructure Customer Ref: 1256Response Ref: 324 Objector Mr S Watson There will be severe problems crossing the mainline railway due to gradients and levels. Crossing the line and the section of road to the south of County Hall would also be unnecessary as Green Lane and Treyew road are capable of being widened to achieve dualling with the distibutor road junction ending at either between Aldi and the County Arms or taken obliquely across the railway to an enlarged and reconfigured County Hall roundabout. Customer Ref: 1266Response Ref: 499 Objector Mr D Purser The new distributor road will be a disaster - it will open up new areas for development which will add to congestion. Why do we need more development? Expanding existing roads is not mentioned as an option. Customer Ref: 1267Response Ref: 710 Objector Mr Fenlon The proposed dual carriageway to the south of Newham farm contradicts the counsils own aim of protecting the flora and fauna and landscape of Calenick Creek. The need for the road is questioned as it runs parallel to Morlaix Avenue and does liitle more than serve the needs of businesses (including Tecos) looking to move to Newham.

Customer Ref: 1290Response Ref: 1060 Objector Mrs M McIntosh Fail to see how this new road would alleviate congestion, it would be chaos around County Hall, Arch Hill etc. Customer Ref: 1298Response Ref: 1195 Objector Mr D Shelton This can only be described as a major disaster waiting to happen, there can only be traffic chaos at every point of contact between the proposed roads and the old main roads and junctions. Millions of pounds could be spent on this vandalization of the countryside south of Truro and every penny would be wasted. Customer Ref: 1309Response Ref: 1017 Objector Mr & Mrs Sargent The proposed LDR will draw more traffic from the west and past the new Richard Lander Scool which is undesirable. Customer Ref: 1313Response Ref: 1048 Objector Truro Tennis Club The development would have a significantly detriemental impact on the amenity of the club which has 352 members. It will be a vastly less attractive venue and will deter players who value its current peaceful environment. If the proposals are not mitigated the club is unlikely to remain economically viable. Bunding and screening is unliekly to adequately diminish the adverse effect of the proposals . Light pollution from passing cars could interfere with play and noise could create problems for players.

The club wishes to expand to provide new facilities for childrene and weather protection for existing courts. The proposed development would prevent expansion. The Council should identify sites for the relocation of the club.

Page 130 of 156 Infrastructure IR4 Chapter 6 - Infrastructure Customer Ref: 1314Response Ref: 1051 Objector Penwethers Residents Association The proposed road will have a significant detrimental impact on the Penwethers lane area. The scheme has a resemblance to a previous scheme refused at appeal in 1998. A number of points of that appeal decision still apply even after 20 years of growth in population and business. This appeal decision should be made available to all interested parties.

The proposed plans are at very small scale although it is clear that the road will be unacceptably obtrusive and will remain an undesirable imposition on a beautiful landscape with unnecessary levsl of noise, pollution and visual intrusion. The building of an embanked road within yards of dwellings is unprecedented. Very little consideration seem to have been given to the nature or constuction of the road.

What would happen to Penwethers Lane? It and Piggy Lane are of considerable historic and environmental interest, carry considerable traffic and pedestrians and should not be despoilt in any way.

There is a tree preservation order covering the area and it appears that many of these trees would be lost. The proposed road would impact on the nansavallon valley with loss of recreational resource, wildlife and plant life, intimacy, seclusion and visual delight. Green tongues of land will also be lost along the route. The fields that the road will cross are good quality agricultural land used for the finishing off of cattle.

The council has not carried out any form of EIA. The SA highlights the significant negative impact to the physical environment, flora and fauna along the route of the proposed LDR. It is the preservation of the green corridors that underpins the biodiversity development principle and should be retained. The destruction of the green corridor will lead to a merging of the areas along the corridor and erosion of green areas for amenity and preservation of biodiversity.

It also highlights the serious potential impact of the distributor road on the drainage system, these are different to sewerage concerns and must be addressed. The proposed road would inevitably encourage more cars to use it with increase in pollution. This seems to be ignored by the council in concluding that the oad is required to serve development land and make it viable. If the development were more limited and served of the existing A390 in conjunction with other development it would obviate the need for a new distributor road. This could also be achieved by development to the north, combined with positive initiatives for park and ride, rail network improvements and other initiatives to reduce congestion at key times on the A390.

Positive impacts on traffic could include staggered working times, flexibility, out of town developments, parking systems including park and ride and improved railway services. Customer Ref: 1321Response Ref: 1092 Objector Mr & Mrs Garland Strongly object on the basis of destruction of an AONB, wildlife and trees. What about the railway, Penwethers Bridge? The spur close to the County Arms will increase congestion.

The proposed extensive housing development will add more congestion to both the A390 and the LDR. Customer Ref: 1337Response Ref: 1138 Objector Mr & Mrs Elliott We own a section of the road through which the road route would run. We are intending to run it as a registered small holding in our retirement. We were recently refused permission at appeal for development because of the impact of the development on the appearance of the site and surrounding area. How can thos proposeal have less impact? Customer Ref: 1339Response Ref: 1144 Objector Mr J Robins The proposed LDR will come close to Trethowan Heights and cut through two gardens. Customer Ref: 1001Response Ref: 660 Supporter J B Solomon Support in principle, but the route must be wide enough to act as a southern relief road and prove access to new housing sites, preventing new accesses onto the A390. Funding under LTP is essential to kick start the proposal. The cost of crossing Penwethers junction needs to be assessed early to ascertain whether this is practical due to topography and cost.

Paragraph 7.4 Customer Ref: 1277Response Ref: 887 Comment Dr J Lakin I see no value in tying this relocation to a possible development of the Higher Newham site, why not relocate it to Treliske Industrial Estate.

Removing a major source of traffic and parking from Garras Wharf. Since there is much employment already at Treliske moving Tesco there would make sense.

Customer Ref: 1236Response Ref: 590 Comment Peacock and Smith acting on behalf of Morrisons A requirement of 15% of energy needs on-site is potentially onerous and conflicts entirely with the intentions of government guidance within PPS22 and its companion guide. Any such policy must have regard to viability of a scheme, the requirement is therefore contrary to advice in PPS22. Customer Ref: 1014Response Ref: 667 Objector F D Hall The catchment area of the River Tinney is identified as a red problem catchment, the higherst risk category. The outfall of the river is through Calenick and there is a long history of flooding, usually when heavy rainfall coincides with high spring tides. New development within the catchment area could seriously increase the risk of flooding in the village.

The use of SuDS has been proposed. We are concerned that this will not protect the village from flash floods and sever winter storms. SuDS systems require long term commitments to effective maintenance and it is doubted that this could be guarenteed or underwriten by the agencies involved. The flood aleviation scheme for the village installed previously has not been maintained.

The existing fowl sewer in the highertown area is at capacity. In recent years failures have occurred in both the pipeline and pumps at the station that pumps sewage to the works resulting in raw sewage being discharged to gardens.

No development should be approved until a through engineering assessment has been made of these problems and the council can demonstrate that infrastructure can be provided for all drainage and maintained with a total assurance against future flooding of the village.

Page 150 of 156 Paragraph 8.3 Chapter 8 - Development Principles Customer Ref: 1079Response Ref: 733 Objector Richard & Liz Willis Developments proposed in the Highertown Corridor, Threemilestone and Newham will significantly add to the flood risk in Calenick as noted by the sustainability appraisal, the Strategic Flood Risk Assessment and the Highertown Masterplan Sustainable Drainage Strategy. The current flood prevention infrastructure is inadequate to protect the village.

It can be assumed that sewage flows from the new development will be outed to Newham works. This will cause increased eutrophication of which there is there is already evidence in the upper Fal estuary relating to discharges from Newham and surface water drainage from Truro. Concerns regarding the potenrial for increase impacts on the SAC from drainage are raised in te Sustinability Appriasal and the Marine Biological Asssociation report for the Fal Estuary. Developments proposed at Highertown, Threemilestone, Gloweth, Tolgarrick and Newham will cause major ground disturbance which could increase the amounts of heavy metal pollutants released into the watercourses, particularly in the River Tinney. Increased urban run off flows will carry pollutants into the calenick Creek and Truro River and beyond. Will these impacts be assessed during the habitats regulations assessment now required for development plans?

Plans showing the proposed comprehensive approach to the control of surface water and the way this is to be achived and maintained must be consulted upon before development s are approved. It is remiss that a plan is not currently available since many objections to the AAP will be raised over the issue of drainage and the lielihood of flooding.

Does the paragraph take into account climate change and thesignificant increase in average winter rainfall and extreme weather events predicted over the next 100 years?

Whilst the aspiration to use water harvesting and reuse technology, it would be useful if the council could point to any major development in thwe area currently using this technology. Do the existing permitted residential sites shown on the proposals map use this technology?

New developments must be required to use SuDS rather than be 'expected to use ' it. Customer Ref: 1173Response Ref: 112 Objector Mr & Mrs Macey River Tinney is identified by the Environment Agency as being a 'Red Problem' area.

Further development could create further risk without extensive engineering works, maintained and upgraded as necessary. It is unlikely that this could protect the village from flash floods and winter storms. Customer Ref: 1332Response Ref: 1126 Objector Mrs BJ Knight Any further development would seriously increase the risk of flooding in the village of calenick. Customer Ref: 1333Response Ref: 1131 Objector Mrs S Alvey It is encouraging to note a highlighting of flood risk as significant in the plan. Whilst I have no in-principle objection to development in the Highertown Corridor, Calenick residents have very real and justified fears of additional flood risk. Based upon previous performance there is little confidence in the ability of Carrick to ensure the scheme is managed properly. The existing flood prevention scheme is not maintained and does not appear to work properly.

Any further development of the Highertown Corridor must take account of a full assessment of the flood risk to Calenick caused by a combination of fluvial and tidal flooding. SuDS as proposed are not a silver bullet solution and are unproven in the long term. A number of disciplines must work in partnership to ensure that a workable system is designed, constructed and properly maintained. A cast iron underwritten assurance must be provided for Calenick residents.

The capacity of the sewerage pumping station to deal with existing and proposed flows is questionned. Customer Ref: 1335Response Ref: 1135 Objector L Willis Previous floods in Calenick have resulted in major flood engineering works which are not working or maintained. Further developments upstream will increase flows of surface water and sewage all of which are channelled through Calenick. A prerequisite to any development must be a plan describing how these issues are to be addressed for agreement with those communities affected. Only once the works have been put into place can development proceed. Customer Ref: 1341Response Ref: 1151 Objector Mrs P Whitham The pledge is to respond to climate change. Flash floods could become more frequesnt and Calenick is already a red flood area. The huge number of houses proposed in the Nansavallen Valley will increase the risk of regular winter flooding with health and saefty risks and loss of house valley. SuDS is not a foolproof system and there have been well documented problems with the system. Will there be a cast iron assurance that development at the prescribed density will not place the village ar further risk than present and if so will villagers be compensated for flooding? Customer Ref: 1343Response Ref: 1157 Objector Mrs S Fenlon There are several developments within the red problem drainage area of the River Tinney. Decisions to to proceed with any developemtn must include a thorugh review of the impact on the River Tinney. Any pressure from additional sewage or surface water drainage and runoff could result in flooding of Calenick. Flood protection measures previously undertaken have been ineffective and even with extensive engineering works there could be a severe risk from flash floods and severe winter storms if large scale develolments proposed go ahead unchecked. Customer Ref: 1348Response Ref: 1164 Objector Mrs R Damerell The large development for the Highertown Corridor will result ina massive increase in urban runoff to the Tinney. I do not believe that SuDS will cope with flash floods when the ground is already saturated and with the increasing quantity and severity of winter storms predicted. Any feasibility study carried out should be independent and not funded by developers. This study should have been carried out prior to any decision of land to be allocated. Will Carrick go back to the drawing board if there are any doubts about the ability of SuDS to deal with additional runoff in all circumstances?

Page 152 of 156 Paragraph 8.3 Chapter 8 - Development Principles Customer Ref: 183Response Ref: 255 Supporter Cornwall Wildlife Trust Support the use of SUDs. Should be designed to be beneficial to wildlife. Paragraph 8.4 Customer Ref: 1209Response Ref: 211 Comment Mr F D Hall SUDS can slow the rate at which water enters the drainage systems but often will not cope with prolonged heavy rainfall or 'flash floods'. At the present time there are legal difficulties in deciding who should adopt the resulting system after construction - the water company, developers or property owners. Customer Ref: 1234Response Ref: 552 Comment Councillor Mrs A Carlyon I have yet to be convinced that these solutions can be achieved when building such vast numbers of houses. Who will monitor and manage this part of the building work and how often will they be inspected. Customer Ref: 89Response Ref: 1347 Objector A4 Architects SUDS will be used for the collection and holding of surface water to a standard of one in one hundred years floods. The recent history of abnormal rainfall in Cornwall and the unknown consequences of climate change mean that the standard is not sufficient. Recent heavy events have been described as one in three hundred year events however they don't rank amongst the heaviest downpours experienced. A viable SUDS system cannot be expected to deal with abnormal situations scuh as Boscastle (200mm in 4 hours).

Before development takes place the existing blockage caused by the Arch Hill embankment Development has been held up for a number of years by this problem and although a scheme was adopted in the early 90's we understand that it is only partially implemented. This will need to be reviewed, amended and implemented prior to any development.

The existing sewerage system is inadequate to deal with increased flows and will need to be increased in capacity. We undertand that there is no funding in place up until 2010 to resolve this situation. This could impact on the deliverability of housing to at least the last third of the plan period. Customer Ref: 184Response Ref: 372 Objector Truro City Council Concerned that there is not a monitoring system to ensure efficient working of the system Customer Ref: 1033Response Ref: 681 Objector Martyn and Sue Alvey It is encouraging to note a highlighting of flood risk as significant in the plan. Whilst I have no in-principle objection to development in the Highertown Corridor, Calenick residents have very real and justified fears of additional flood risk. Based upon previous performance there is little confidence in the ability of Carrick to ensure the scheme is managed properly. The existing flood prevention scheme is not maintained and does not appear to work properly.

Any further development of the Highertown Corridor must take account of a full assessment of the flood risk to Calenick caused by a combination of fluvial and tidal flooding. SuDS as proposed are not a silver bullet solution and are unproven in the long term. A number of disciplines must work in partnership to ensure that a workable system is designed, constructed and properly maintained. A cast iron underwritten assurance must be provided for Calenick residents.

The capacity of the sewerage pumping station to deal with existing and proposed flows is questionned. Customer Ref: 1042Response Ref: 700 Objector Mr & Mrs Pascoe Flooding by river and sewage is a danger in Calenick. A 1 in 200 year flood was experienced twice within a year proving that reliance should not be placed on theories. Only physical structures are reliable and a proper structure limiting the amount of water passing under the road. The sewage infrastructure is very limited and sewage flooding has already occurred. A new network should be laid before development takes place.

Page 153 of 156 Paragraph 8.4 Chapter 8 - Development Principles Customer Ref: 1065Response Ref: 717 Objector Mr & Mrs Adams The catchment area of the River Tinney is identified as a red problem catchment, the highest risk category. The outfall of the river is through Calenick and there is a long history of flooding, usually when heavy rainfall coincides with high spring tides. New development within the catchment area could seriously increase the risk of flooding in the village. Customer Ref: 1071Response Ref: 723 Objector Mrs P Trevena I am concerned regarding flooding and inadequate serage infrastructure that has left me without access to toilet facilities previously. Calencik should have adequate money spent on the sewer system and flood prevention to cover any eventuality rather than a minimum standard improvement. Floodwater coming down the Old Falmouth Road also needs to be addressed to prevent worsening situation with development of the Newham site. Customer Ref: 1073Response Ref: 725 Objector Mr J James Monies should be made aware for a proper installation, maintenance and upgrading of a flood prevention scheme and for environmental impact that developments further up the valley may cause. Responsibility for maintenance must be established. I am concerned regarding the potental erosion of my riverbank as a riparian owner. If damage is caused by other development it should not be for me to repair that damage.

The existing sewer is not capable of further load and discharges to the river if the pumps fail. Customer Ref: 1074Response Ref: 727 Objector Martin Roberts Concerned that new development will increase the likelihood of flooding in the village of Calenick. Further works to the flood alievation scheme need to be carried out and the sewage works upgraded. Customer Ref: 1107Response Ref: 775 Objector Mr R Damerell Plans for substantial development along the Highertown corridor could substantially increase the flood risk to calenick. The use of SuDS may not be capable of dealing with flash flooding events. SuDS also require regular maintenance which is doubted given previous experieince of maintenance of the current flood defence works. I am unconvinced by arguments that the Newham site would not cause flooding to Calenick as even if it can be piped away can SWW treat it?

There is little mention of sewerage. The current pumping station and infrastructure is at capacity and leaks when breakdowns occur. The system is unable to cope with heavty loads at present, what will extra flows cause?

Cast iron guarentees supported by all relevant experts are required in relation to run off and sewage.

Customer Ref: 1192Response Ref: 159 Comment Mr & Mrs Bullen The entire Kenwyn Valley should be treated as a biodiversity corridor similar to that south of the city.

Page 154 of 156 Paragraph 8.5 Chapter 8 - Development Principles Customer Ref: 1234Response Ref: 553 Comment Councillor Mrs A Carlyon It is extremely difficult to keep wildlife corridors in urban areas from being eroded. It is essential that boundaries are secure. Customer Ref: 1301Response Ref: 1220 Comment Mr & Mrs MacPherson-Rait Major housing and road proposals are at odds with the Council's biodiversity statement. Customer Ref: 515Response Ref: 497 Objector Wainhomes The allocation of the Tregolls Road protected route as a biodiversity site is contradictory. The value of the corridor for wildlife is negligable. On the basis that the protected route is no longer required, the biodiversity corridor should also be deleted. Customer Ref: 521Response Ref: 509 Objector Kenwyn Parish Council Halbullock Moor should not be isolated by development. Customer Ref: 1085Response Ref: 770 Objector RPS (Devon & Cornwall Constabulary) There is no logical reason for the designation of any part of the police station site in the biodiversity corridor - it should be removed. Customer Ref: 1107Response Ref: 783 Objector Mr R Damerell This section is the weakest and does not contain details of impact surveys from regulatory bodies and other renowned wildlife organisations. If these surveys have not been carried out, why not? Calenick creek has a great number of species that may be effected by noise and light pollution or potential urban run off/sewage leaks. Customer Ref: 1156Response Ref: 1012 Objector Miss P Anderson the biodiversity section ignores the Greenbottom area which is teeming with wildlife . The area should be noted as significant. Customer Ref: 1244Response Ref: 646 Objector Laurence Associates acting on behalf of J Tann and others Object to the proposed biodiversity corridor identified for the area of land located between the eastern boundary of Bosvean Gardens and Kenwyn River. The land in question is in private ownership and has no public access given the site has been cordoned off for a significant period of time. The allocation of this land as a biodiversity corridor without reasoned justification would result in the potential sterilization of the site for future residential development. This is a site in close proximity to the city centre within easy walking distance to the main facilities and clearly has potential for residential development. Customer Ref: 1309Response Ref: 1021 Objector Mr & Mrs Sargent I welcome the biodiversity corridors, however the rural areas to the west of Threemilestone do not seem to have been recognosed or afforded protection. The industrial estate already clights with noise, light pollution and traffic movements, this should not be increased. Customer Ref: 1315Response Ref: 1073 Objector Mrs S Trevail The needs of people seeking suitasble housing take priority over certain environmental issues, but the development of Dudman Farm and the LDR will destroy habitat through noise and light pollution. How can high density housing on greenfield sites improve conditions for wildlife? Wildlife will decline as a result of the plan. Customer Ref: 1339Response Ref: 1142 Objector Mr J Robins The proposed development cannot possibly increase biodiversity. It will increase flood risk , green gap areas are too few in the plan.

Page 155 of 156 Paragraph 8.5 Chapter 8 - Development Principles Customer Ref: 183Response Ref: 256 Supporter Cornwall Wildlife Trust Support the proposal. It would be clearer to refer to 'key ecological features' rather than 'key elements'.

Support wildlife corridors but they must be improved for wildlife to be effective and features created to link areas of semi-natural habitat.

Further work should be carried out to highlight where habitat can be managed or created. Areas of biodiversity such as Gloweth Barton and Halbuloock should not be isolated. Paragraph 8.6 Customer Ref: 183Response Ref: 257 Comment Cornwall Wildlife Trust Support in principle renewable energy - however turbines may harm wildlife such as bats. A survey should infrom the development of the sustainability and energy strategy and suitability of various technologies.

We recommend adding a key principle on protecting and enhancing ecological features as part of development.

Page 157 of 156 General Comments Chapter 10 - Implementation and Phasing Customer Ref: 63Response Ref: 1333 Comment Cornwall County Council - Spatial Planning The chapter is weak on the mechanisms and practicalities of implementation and increasing build rates to deliver the growth agenda. While the phasing of development is usefully charted this would benefit from a link to policy and implementation. The justification from phasing should be explained in the form of a strategy to achieve the end point of the growth agenda. Customer Ref: 1308Response Ref: 1261 Comment RPS Bristol acting on behalf of Newham Farm Ltd Table 1 should be redrawn to include an indicative time line from the point of adoption of the adoption of the AAP through to the end of the housing trajectory period all of which should be linked to a timeframe for delivery of key infrastructure. Within this should be be identified the likely deliverable sites in the first 5 years of the trajectory period and developable sites in the next 5 year period and broad location sites for years 11 to 15.

Strongly object to any suggestions that the Higher Newham site is dependent on the completion of the Newham Distributor road as identified in the table or indeed the completion of any other piece of infrastructure. Customer Ref: 1155Response Ref: 1007 Objector Ward Williams acting on behalf of The Trustees of Dudman Fam The phasing of the Dudman Fram site should nto be reliantr on the full completion of LDR and should be altered to read ' distributor road to the junction with the A390 at Highertown. Paragraph 10.1 Customer Ref: 1308Response Ref: 1259 Comment RPS Bristol acting on behalf of Newham Farm Ltd Support the recognition of the need for development of the preferred options to be phased. PPS3 suggests that LPA's should make a distinction between genuinely delieverable sites ie those likely to make a meaningful contribution to housing supply during the first 5 years of the AAP's adoption and those developable sites likely to contribute in the years 6 to 10 and 11 to 15. At the same time the aim is to ensure that there is a rolling and up to date supply of deliverable sites coming forward to ensure a continuous 5 year supply.

It is imperative that the AAP and Proposals Map clearly indentify sites in the 5 year periods and in particular identifies the 5 year supply of deliverable sites.

Preferred option for Higher Newham can make a committed contribution not only in terms of facilitatiing the Garras Wharf redevelopment and the inherent benefits of this for the people of Truro but also in the immediate delivery of housing and infrastructure improvements within the first five years from adoption of the AAP.

However we object to that development should not commense before the completion of the park and ride sites to the east and west of the city unless an over-riding community benefit can be demonstrated. This is overly restrictive and may undermine the overall delivery strategy of the AAP. Paragraph 10.3 Customer Ref: 1293Response Ref: 1166 Comment Montagu Evans acting on behalf of Simons Developments Ltd States that the Council will not permit major housing or commercial development unless the park and ride to the east and west have been completed or an over riding community benefit can be demonstrated. It has not been demonstrated that any any major retail development will have such an adverse effect to warrant this consequently such a requirement could be unreasonable. It is inconsistent with other proposed policies whereby a development that might help deliver park and ride cannot be implemented until the park and ride is completed. It would not be reasonable to cause a development to be delayed or frustrated by third party actions such as the development of park and ride. AAP does not define what over riding community benefit is.

Page 158 of 156 Paragraph 10.3 Chapter 10 - Implementation and Phasing Customer Ref: 1248Response Ref: 730 Objector DPP Cardiff acting on behalf of Tesco Stores Ltd Paragraph states that the council will not permit the implementation of residential development or major commercial before the completion of park and ride , however table 1 appears to indicate that the bringing forward of the Higher Newham site is subject only to the completion of the Newham distributor road. Customer Ref: 1250Response Ref: 806 Objector Foot Anstey Planning acting on behalf of Truro Consortium Consortium object to both of the park and ride sites having to be in place before any development to the west of the city should be allowed to take place once the western Park and ride is available. Customer Ref: 1308Response Ref: 1269 Objector RPS Bristol acting on behalf of Newham Farm Ltd Object that Higher Newham's development could be constrained pending park and ride provision. Paragraph 10.5 Customer Ref: 1283Response Ref: 1037 Comment Cornish Homes Need to provide new highway infrastructure to achieve the sustainable urban extension to the west of Truro is supported as being highly desirable. The phasing of the proposed housing allocations is objected to as it presents an overly simplistic take on the delivery of housing sites in conjunction with new infrastructure. Customer Ref: 1308Response Ref: 1260 Comment RPS Bristol acting on behalf of Newham Farm Ltd Would benefit from further clarity on the timing of delivery of key infrastructure referred to and when this is likely to become available.

Paragraph acknowledges that the requirement to provide highway infrastructure will have an impact on the delivery of development, and as such Higher Newham should be allowed to come forward in phases. Customer Ref: 1111Response Ref: 834 Objector Savills acting on behalf of Persimmon Homes Object to the proposed phasing in table 1 of the AAP. The schedule is unnecessary and will needlessly delay the delivery of housing on the allocated sites leading to a considerable shortfall in the delivery of the strategic housing requirement particularly in the early years of plan implementation.

Tolgarrick is scheduled for the final phase of the plan period following the completion of the LDR. We question whether the final leg of the LDR across the railway is deliverable. Tolgarrick is capable of delivery without prejudicing Newham by being designed in a way that allows delivery of infrastructure on site whilst providing links to the widder network. There is no need to make development contigent on the delivery of the LDR or Newham distributor road. Land at Treyew is also capable of delivery in advance of the LDR through the provision of infrastructure that will link to the wider network. This would allow the early delivery of housing sites. Customer Ref: 1324Response Ref: 1102 Objector Cornwall County Council The phasing is unreasonable and unnecessary. This should result from detailed discussions with the highways authorituy on a site by site basis reflectinfg existing capacity issues and delivering strategic objectives.
