  • Representations 501-550
    501 Hi Cornwall Council I trust you can accept and pass these brief and hasty comments to the Local Plan Team. This is a lengthy document and I only learned of it very recently as it appears not to have been given widespread publicity as to it's availability and the ways to submit comments. It appears generic and does not have a strong 'local' or Cornish perspective and although it contains high aims on sustainability, green policies, employment and housing it is short on ways to achieve these things in a compatible way. HOUSING The numbers for housing need seem high and not related to economic activity eg over the past 40 years the number of houses have doubled in Cornwall without an improvement in the overall economy. To use housing as an economic 'driver' is a false premise. Housing should, I agree, be placed on brownfield and infill sites and only as a last resort should greenfield sites be used - this, of course, should apply to all development. A lower figure of housing requirements, ie around 30k should be the preferred one. House build should reflect the local and social housing need and not include more than 20% for purely the speculative and second house market. I understand that Councillors have supported a stricter planning regime and change of use provision for second and holiday houses - this should be vigorously pursued and made Council policy. As Cornwall has one of the highest second house concentration in the UK it needs to be treated as such and special measure put in place to contain this spread.

Action Plan p59 Appendix: Tavistock Statement of Significance p62 Bibliography p76 Acknowledgement The author is grateful to Alex Mettler and Barry Gamble for their assistance in preparing this strategy. 1 Introduction This strategy sets out a framework and action plan for improving interpretation in Tavistock and for enabling the town to fulfil the requirements of a Key Centre within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site (WHS). It is intended to complement the Tavistock World Heritage Site Key Centre Learning Strategy (Kell 2013) which concentrates on learning activities and people. Consequently the focus here is primarily on interpretive content and infrastructure rather than personnel. Aims and objectives The brief set by the Tavistock World Heritage Site Key Centre Steering Group was to identify a consistent, integrated approach to presenting the full range of themes arising from the Outstanding Universal Value of WHS Areas 8, 9 and 10 and to respond to the specific recommendations arising from the WHS Interpretation Strategy (WHS 2005). We were asked to: x Address interpretation priorities in the context of the Cornish Mining WHS x Identify and prioritise target audiences x Set out a clearly articulated framework and action plan for the development of interpretation provision in WHS Area 10, including recommendations which address x Product development (i.e.

  • Heritage by Jan Carpenter
    The ‘Lynher’ History. Author: Mr.Jan Carpenter written in the year 2000, all copyrights reserved. Just ahead of the limekiln at Poldrissick, inside a small man-made harbour, the faint impression of a large vessel is just discernible in the river mud, bows to north-west. This fading symbolic epitaph translates as: ‘Here, once lay the bones of the Lynher, a 19th century Tamar sailing barge.’ Although no longer a fixture of the River Lynher, the story of her construction through to abandonment and an unlikely renaissance is worthy of detailing, especially as she is aptly named and her future appears precarious once again. The impression left by the Tamar sailing barge ‘Lynher’ visible at low water in 2000. Courtesy of Mr Charlie Force The Lynher was built at Calstock between 1895 and 1896 on the Devon side of the River Tamar by James Goss and was sold on completion to a Mr Cox, presumably Captain Cox the first skipper, at a build cost of £400. She was over 50 feet in length, 17 feet at her beam and with a draft of just over 5 feet, her displacement was 19 tons, reaching up to 60 tons when fully laden. She was flat bottomed, constructed using massive timbers with an almost impenetrable double skin, enabling her, like other Tamar sailing barges to lay on a stony river bed alongside antiquated quay walls. A large skeg is formed by the hull tucking upward toward the transom, enabling her to hold steady in a following sea, a design feature for her anticipated coasting.
