This schedule contains the infrastructure requirements for 3 CNAs combined: the China Clay CNA, the St Austell CNA and the St Blazey, Fowey and Lostwithiel CNA. These three CNAs are taken together as a result of the combined planning framework for the area as set out in the St Austell, St Blazey and China Clay area Regeneration Plan and as reflected in the Core Strategy. Core Strategy Council priority: St Austell and the China Clay Eco Communities is one of the council’s two priority areas for regeneration. The China Clay area received national endorsement as the location for an eco ‘town’ (eco communities), forming part of a Government supported project to create a number of eco ‘towns’ communities creating outstanding places to live and work that meet high environmental and social standards. Core Strategy The Core Strategy identifies the area as a key transformational area and sets the strategic framework for transformational developments in the area. The Core Strategy seeks developments that address local needs to achieve high social standards, lead the way in achieving high quality, high environmental performance and to support the development of environmental technologies and industries. The Core Strategy key objectives for the China Clay; St Austell; St Blazey, Fowey & Lostwithiel CNAs: 1,500 homes in St Austell Elsewhere in the St Austell CNA 250 homes to support sustainable development of established communities 800 homes to the China Clay villages (collectively). 800 homes to St Blazey, Fowey & Lostwithiel CNA, distributed between the main settlements 5,000 homes in the three CNAs through transformational regeneration projects. Development should demonstrate delivery of homes and jobs with best performance in; high environmental standards high quality design; appropriate infrastructure; affordable housing; sustainable travel patterns; productive and positive re-use of china clay workings; Safeguard important minerals reserves; and Access to green space. Development should; Promote the delivery of affordable housing; Support the regeneration of the local economy and the town centre of St Austell; Address transport congestion issues; Enable the delivery of community infrastructure including new facilities, green space and key transport links. Support the regeneration of the local economy, creating new jobs and a better balance between housing and employment; Conserve the south coast AONB, World Heritage Sites at Charlestown and Luxulyan Valley and other heritage assets, including mining heritage and nature conservation sites and enhancement of the local environment; Manage the potential delivery of the transformational regeneration projects and their impacts on the area. Town The St Austell, St Blazey and China Clay Area Regeneration Plan was prepared by the Council to help inform and guide future development in St Austell and the wider Framework China Clay area. Work on the St Austell town framework is incorporated within this plan. The Regeneration Plan can be found via the following link http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=22887 Delivery Recently delivered/being delivered infrastructure projects include: Fore Street Regeneration Indian Queens Victory hall The key infrastructure items to support development in the China Clay, St Austell and St Blazey, Fowey & Lostwithiel CNAs are: A391 improvements; A390 improvements Costs The schedule identifies costs of the infrastructure projects where they are known. In many cases however the project costs are not known or are subject to change and caution is needed in regarding these costs. The total known costs of projects in the China Clay, St Austell and St Blazey, Fowey & Lostwithiel CNAs schedule are shown below but these come with a health warning as they are only are temporary totals. The total known cost (many costs unknown at this time) for delivering the infrastructure projects in the area is £558,122,000 Funding As with costs, the information on funding as shown in the schedule needs to be considered with caution, as new information on funding sources and figures emerges regularly. Funding for infrastructure in the area covering the three CNAs could come from a number of sources including: ERDF Convergence, infrastructure providers, Cornwall Council, Flood and Coastal Resilience Partnership Funding, Homes and Communities Agency, the New Homes Bonus, Cornwall Community Infrastructure Levy, Tax Increment Funding and the Regional Growth Fund. Key Benefits new jobs, skills and economic growth addressing transport, education, flooding, health needs and community scale renewable energy schemes new housing, including affordable housing development of a high environmental and design standard sustainable travel patterns raise the aspirations, opportunities and well-being of communities Key Risks Funding for the Eco Communities plan being withdrawn or drastically reduced A reduction in other funding from external sources Key unlocking infrastructure not coming forward Strategic Next Generation Broadband Projects located Combined Universities in Cornwall in this CNA Cornwall Energy Recovery Centre (other than Flood Risk Management Integrated Connecting Cornwall (Transport) Town Packages) Cornwall Cross Rail Education: Primary, Secondary, Specialist & Safeguarding Health Smart Grid Green Infrastructure Project Lead Partner Dependencies Priority Category Project Name Location Timescale Why/Policy Cost Funding Sources Funding Gap Status Description Delivery Partner or Requirements Critical Employment St Austell & China Clay Cornwall Council has China Clay Up to 2040 To meet local Eco-Bos Cost unknown Cornwall Council Funding needs Level of growth Evidence base Communities Strategic identified the St Austell, St regeneration, identifying.
