Public Exhibition Posters

We’ve had 4 great public exhibitions. Fantastic to have so many visitors with their questions. We got a lot of positive feedback, including that the posters conveyed a lot of the key information.

We know that not everybody could make these events, and some will want to look again at the posters, so we are putting them here as PDFs.

The 2 PDFs are the same posters, but at reasonable and high resolution to cater for those on slower internet connections. Not everybody will want to zoom in on the maps etc.

The image below is a collage of 4 of the posters.

Publicity & initial responses re Regulation 14 has begun.

On the 11th of April a letter was sent out to 3009 residential addresses in the parish, with a 3-5 day delivery window. Easter weekend got in the way and it got to most on Tuesday the 19th, where our Regulation 14 consultation period starts on Friday the 22nd and ends 8 weeks later on Friday the 17th of June.

We also:

  • Put notices on all of the parish notice boards and many shops in the parish. This was done over the weekend of the 10th & 11th of April.
  • On the 19th of April we emailed the 155 email addresses on our email list (this is mostly from the form on the Contact page on our Website).
    As of 11:30 am on the 23rd of April, 150 of the emails were delivered, 94 people have opened the email and 12 have clicked links in the email.
  • On the 19th of April we put notices on the 2 main Facebook groups in our Parish and our own Facebook page.
    • On the Facebook “Please listen Perranzabuloe Parish Council” group we have (as of 22:30 on the 24rd of April) had 901 “post reaches” from one post about this and 383 from another.
    • Our Facebook Page has had 180+ people see just one of the posts about the events.
    • We don’t have access to the reach stats for the Perranzabuloe Community Group, but the post has resulted in comments and Facebook likes, so it is being seen.
    • As the events progressed we put ongoing posts to the Facebook groups, which got comments and further views to further spread the word and hopefully get more people to attend the remaining exhibitions.
Cover letter and Summary Leaflet sent to all households in the parish

We are in the home straight with Regulation 14 about to start

We are about to start the Pre-submission (Regulation 14) stage of our Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP).

  • Regulation 14 will run for 6 weeks from Friday the 22nd of April until Friday the 17th of June.
  • All of the documents for this stage are on our, documents page.
  • As a part of Regulation 14, we will be having public exhibitions:
    • Goonhavern Community Centre (TR4 9NW)
      Friday 22nd April 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm
      Saturday 23rd April 10:00 am – 12:30 pm
    • Perranporth Parish Council Rooms (TR6 0DB)
      Monday 25th April 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm
      Tuesday 26th April 10:00 am – 12:30 pm
  • We’ve sent an email out to the 155 on our email list and put posts on the main Facebook groups in the parish and our own Facebook group:

How we got here and what Next?

  • At the start of 2022, we sent a letter to all households in our parish and also contact the Parish Council and Cornwall Council to comment on our DRAFT NDP. Our impression from direct comments from our Parish Council, Cornwall Council and the consultants we are using is that it has been well drafted such that only limited improvements were needed for the version that is the Pre-submission (Regulation 14) version.
  • We have started receiving public comments on the DRAFT NDP, which we are keeping to consider post the 17th of June (when the Regulation 14 period ends). The NDP preparation process requires the Steering Group to maintain and submit to the Examiner a compilation of comments submitted during consultation and the decisions the Steering Group take in response. Some of the comments are likely to result in further changes to our NDP. This compilation of comments and decisions will be published on our website and the Cornwall Council website.
  • Post that the plan will go through “Regulation 15/16” (submission) consultation run by Cornwall Council, followed by an external Examination and public referendum on whether or not the plan should be adopted by Cornwall Council for use in the planning system.
  • We anticipate the referendum being in the Autumn of 2022.
    (2022-10 update, we now anticipate the referendum being late 2022 or early 2023.)

Nothing outstanding to report

Outstanding Declaration of Interest forms are still required from, Karen Colam, and Janine Branch

5  Questionnaire (Business)

No report

6 Reports and action plans from Focus Groups

Housing and Open space (Roger Kayes)

Roger reported that he had had a further email exchange with Noreen Jefferies, Cornwall Council’s Rural Housing Enabler, regarding her interest in coming along to the SG to talk about what CC has to offer to rural communities wishing to undertake small-scale housing projects to provide housing for local needs.  Rory asked whether she might be able to suggest a specific NDP policy in this regard, possibly aimed at encouraging local groups in the more rural southerly parts of the parish to come forward to promote such projects, depending of course on planning considerations.  Roger agreed to ask her about this.  The feeling of the meeting was that otherwise, this was probably something that the SG wouldn’t pursue at this juncture.

Preparation of settlement boundaries had been delayed by the illness of Michael Callan but would get underway shortly, at least in Goonhavern.

BETI (Kevin Havill)

No report

Environment and Heritage (Chris Ashby-Zwozdiak)

No report

7 Any other Business

7.1 Meeting with Stuart Todd Associates to appoint a Policy Writing Expert practice

William had previously contacted Stuart Todd Associates- a firm of repute and known to the Clerk, who specialises in compiling the Neighbourhood Development Plans, with involvement in more than 40 to date at various levels including several in Cornwall. He has produced a price in the order of £10,000 (inc VAT which can be passed on) to compile our document.  This will be subject to variation when he is more aware of the extent of work involved, in compiling all in the same style and format.  The offer was accepted in principle, however, if the price is within 10% of this value, he can be formally employed to undertake the work. If more, it will need to be reconsidered by the Steering Group.

It is hoped that policies from the Focus Groups can be drafted by the end of the month.  RJ will set up a discreet Dropbox for all submissions and correspondence.  The number of policies expected to date are:-

Roger Kayes (Housing)             – 3

Linda Boylan (Housing)           –  4

Kevin Havil (BETI)                   – 40

Chris Ashby-Zwozdiak (E&H)  – 10

RK enquired about the budget.

WR commented that to date the Group had spent in the order of £16,000, less a grant of £7,500, giving net spend of around £8,500.  This figure is significantly less than the Council’s precepted figure of £15,000.  The PC has earmarked £20,000 for the 2020-2021 precept

RJ is pursuing the possibility of linking the provision of Passive Housing with the PRP.

Post meeting Note:  WR informed the PC at their meeting on 10th February who ratified this decision,

 7.2 Meeting with Cornwall Council and the EA  to discuss Flooding issues

The Focus group leads, RK, WR, Dave Watkins, Flood & Coastal Strategic Resilience Lead Cornwall Council, together with Simon Jeffries & Justin Ridgewell from the EA.

The main thrust of the Meeting was to discuss the implications of the Shoreline Management Plan for Perranporth, in terms of coastal erosion and flooding.

The following points were discussed.

  • Coastal erosion can be expected along the strip of land adjacent to the beach
  • With a 1:200 storm, in excess of 70 houses are presently at risk of flooding.
  • Residential buildings should be designed to survive a 1:100 year storm event, with commercial buildings surviving a 1:30 year event.
  • It might be prudent to consider allowing the beach car park to return to dunes in the distant future, as opposed to the car park as at present and hard sea defences.
  • The EA and Cornwall Council will assist in the writing of the policies directing at flooding
  • The EA have GIS files for mapping of the erosion zones that they will make available to the NDP.

7.3 Additional issues

A meeting is to be arranged with Noreen Jefferies to discuss the promotion of rural housing needs, the possibility of a Community Land Trust and identification of specific land

The meeting with Jeremy Content either with Robert Lacey, or on his own still needs to take place specifically to consider land issues and development near to the A30.

8 Dates of future meetings in 2020

The Next SG meeting will be Tuesday 10th March 2020.

POST MEETING NOTE

Date of next SG meeting rescheduled to Thursday 12th March

2018-05-22 Steering Group Meeting Minutes

Perranzabuloe Neighbourhood Development  Plan

Steering Group Meeting – Minutes

Tuesday 22nd May 2018

1          Attendance and Apologies

No Apologies received.  Fifteen people attended including twelve members of the Steering Group (listed in Appendix 1).

2          Approval of Minutes of Meeting dated 22nd April 2018

Proposed by Rory Jenkins (RJ), seconded by Will Rogers (WR), and approved unanimously.

3          Matters arising

William Rogers (WR) reported on progress on the preparation of the project plan.  Certain members have had sight of the full spreadsheet, that was considered to be too detailed.  WR will produce a summary spreadsheet (some 8-10 rows long) and present it at the next SG meeting.

WR also reported that he has requested to withdraw the application for funding from the Co-op, since it was not possible at this stage to demonstrate a watertight financial arrangement (given that no financial officer is available in the Parish Council (PCC). The Coop accepted our withdrawal, and invited us to reapply at a later stage when the next tranche for grants became available. Action-WR

The application for Community Grant funding submission has not yet been prepared, since no firm costs have been determined. There is in the order of £9000 available subject to detailed estimates.  At present the Parish Council has earmarked up to £15,000 for the NP. It was asked whether the Community Grant can be applied for retrospectively. WR will investigate.

It has been suggested by the present PPC that we could have our own bank account and cheque book, actually accounting to them. However this will be up to the new Council (elections due end May) to agree to this procedure.  Karen Colam will request that an item be inserted onto the next PPC meeting to discuss this. Action-KC

Roger Kayes (RK) has prepared the copy for the housing section for the forthcoming flier, and submitted these to NJ.

Michael Callan & Karen Collam have agreed to be co-opted onto the SG.

KC is to contact Cornwall Chamber of Commerce regarding the provision of a list of names and addresses of businesses in the parish. Action-KC

Discussion continued regarding the planning permission for the Oyster Bay development.  RK will investigate the grounds upon which 365 days per year of residence can be granted for holiday homes. Action RK

Following the question at the previous meeting regarding the advertising of holiday homes with 365 days per year residence, that  seemed to make them dwellings, RK asked whether Michael Callan could clarify the situation.  MC pointed out that these adverts concerned the recent application by the Oyster Bay company for a new site to the north of Goonhavern, heading out toward the A30 where there is a wind turbine and that this site will allow for 365 days per year occupancy.  This will not be classified as housing and there will be no affordable housing provision. Simon Jefferies suggested this was because mobile home-type developments involve only change of use of land, not development as in the construction of buildings.  The BETI focus group claim them as businesses but haven’t done any work on this as yet.

A meeting was held with South West Water, primarily with the PPC.  However the NDP was represented.

Rory summarised his perspective that SWW can cope with foul drainage from new developments, but they cannot cope with the ingress of storm water run off as well as the foul water. If quantities of storm water could be diverted away from the sewerage, it could free up capacity for new developments. Points of interest to the NDP were the Llanelli  Memorandum of Understandingwhere a new developer was obliged to provide sufficient space in the sewerage by restricting a determinable amount of storm flow from the system to free up space for the new foul drainage. It is possible that a similar provision could be included in the Perranzabuloe Neighbourhood Plan.

SWW will look at the ingress of storm water into the pumping systems as well as ways of alleviating this. Storm water control is managed by the water authorities, local authorities,  Environment Agency and DEFRA.

Flooding at Hendrena and Bolenna will be examined by SWW.  SWW will also examine the mechanisms used to advise the community upon river spillages in the winter months. Road drainage can be alleviated by regrading around manhole covers and road cross-falls to avoid  flooding.

WR will contact SWW in some 6 months time.  Action-WR

Major expense from Water Authorities needs to be included in the Management Plans and the 5 year funding requests (presently PR19).  We would need to get the work included in the PR24 (2024) funding request. Action RJ/KH

KH reported that a national list of business addresses in ‘Access’ format is available from The Cornwall Property Valuation Office. RJ can arrange for these to be transposed into Excel or equivalent format.  Names of businesses however will not be available. Action-RJ/KH

4          Communications update

Details of options of designing, printing and distributing the flyer were presented by NJ and discussed (included in Appendix 2 to these minutes).

It was agreed that the distribution of Flyers should be delayed until September/October when the holiday period has passed. Action-NJ

It was agreed to employ Jeff Muir to design and supervise the printing of the flyers.  This is based upon previous experience with other NDPs in Cornwall.  An estimated sum of £4,000 to allow for contingencies etc, should be allocated for the total cost of the first ‘mail shot” contingencies, poster campaign and public meetings. Action-NJ

 

5          Reports from Focus Groups

            BETI (Business, Employment Transport & Infrastructure)

The next BETI meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday 23rd May- i.e. one day after this meeting.  Hence there is no BETI information to be included in these minutes.

The BETI group will be headed by Philip Moore in KH’s temporary absence overseas.

            Environment & Heritage

Chris Ashby-Zwozdiak chaired a meeting on 2nd May. Minutes are included in Appendix 3.

            Housing

Roger Kayes raised the issue of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funds and that in the future, substantial funds could become available to the parish from this source, when the regulations are introduced in Cornwall (probably at the end of 2018). A parish that has a NDP would receive 25% of the levy of qualifying developments, mainly housing in Perranzabuloe, and this could be in the region of £10,000 per dwelling.  A parish with no NDP would receive 10% less.  RK has foreseen a role for the NDP process in surveying the parishioners as to their priorities for spending this money, but Michael Callan rejected this idea – it will be the PCC that decides how this money is spent.

RK summarised the housing completion data for the parish (albeit provisional) prior to the publication, probably in August provided by CC, showing the large number of housing completions in the last two years. This data is reproduced here in Appendix 4.

RK and Will Rogers reported on their perceptions during their visit to the St Agnes exhibition of the pre-submission version of their NDP,  as well as the enthusiasm and inspiring ideas they came away with.  It was recommended that members read the report, available at http://stagnesndp.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/St-Agnes-NDP-v4-Pre-submission-version-23-4-18.pdf.   (This link will be posted on the Perranplan website).

6          Project planning

This was dealt with in ‘Matters arising’.

7           Financial matters

None arising.

8          NDP Hotline

A hot line for contact will be set up. RJ is to investigate the use of a bespoke mobile that can be managed by anybody in the steering group.  An ‘0345’ number will be assigned to this. Action-RJ

9          GDPR

RJ  assured the Meeting that under the terms of our Privacy Policy on the NDP website, it is in order to hold information solely for the progressing of the NDP.  People not wishing their information to be held should advise accordingly.

8          Any other business

Christine ZA is due to send out the Wildlife map to the SG.  She intends to undertake the Landscape Character Assessment in the autumn.

RK reported that he had taken some photos specifically for the website and passed these on to RJ, and encouraged others to do so.  In the context of St Agnes’s use of aerial photographs in their publicity material, he wondered if we should approach the person who took their shots of the five main villages in the parish, to get us similar resources.  RJ advised care in paying for that, given legal complexities. Others referred to the drone photos used in the Perranporth Community Facebook page, and that perhaps we should use those.

10          Items for next meeting

Discussion of the Flyer

11          Date of next meeting and closure

The next meeting will be on Wednesday the 13th June in the Parish Council offices in Perranporth.

The meeting finished at 9.45pm.

Appendix 2 Communications update 22nd May 2018

  • Initial Flyer:
    • Meeting of FG leaders and Environmental members
    • Decisions:
      • A3 not A4 (Cost rise from £200 to £400),
      • Decided the FG information on the flyer would not get the Public’s attention. Another approach has been discussed and needs to be drafted, then offered to a Graphic Designer.
      • Space needs to be given for address and Freepost return.
      • Printer ‘can’ print addresses directly to the flyer from spreadsheet
      • Freepost is worth the cost
      • Delivery method ‘Should’ be the Post Office
      • Flyer goes out as part of a promotion campaign (posters, meetings around the parish, etc)
      • Timing is very important – Get it right!
      • Pay a Graphic Designer if it means getting it right
  • Next Communications actions:
    • Develop the flyer and get to Graphic designer.
    • Provide WR with list of items to purchase for consultations
  • Website
    • Statement: The website is looking great. Well Done Rory & Team.
    • Put SW Water meeting notes to website. Under all FG tags
  • NDP Hotline
    • a form of communication for people without internet
    • Proposed using a spare mobile phone with a PAYG SIM card for the NDP
    • It could be used just as an answering message service. Will Rogers has offered his mobile number instead of an NDP number.
    • KC and RJ said they would look into the cost of 0345 numbers and VOIT(?). These numbers can then be diverted to SG members phones or voice mail messages.
  • Costs of Flyer, including Postage – see spreadsheet appendix
    • NJpresented estimations from two printers/Graphic Designers from my working spreadsheet.
    • We need 3000 flyers for residential and 2000 for business and handouts
    • Post office costs are stamps for delivery to non-Perranporth wards and Post Office flyer drop to Perranporth (all TR6 0) homes.
    • This was the most cost effective postage solution that also satisfies the NDP guidelines for later scrutiny.
    • A Freepost address should be set up for any postal returns.
    • The Graphic Designer (Jeff Muir) estimated his costs at £500. The SG felt that this was too low and should be doubled to ensure costs are covered.
    • Prevision should also be made for Posters design and publication.
    • A budget of £4000 was proposed to be put to the PC.
    • NJ to liaisewith Jeff Muir and obtain quotations from printers
    • Community Magazine Printers in Cornwall are a Parish Council magazine printers with a good eco-friendly ethos.
    • Preferred option is Jeff Muir to design and Community Printing to print

Environment & Heritage Meeting Notes – Wednesday 2ndMay 2018 7.30pm at the Tywarnhayle Inn 

  • Present:
  • Steve Adams
  • Chris Ashby-Zwozdiak
  • Sue Dutson
  • KevinHavill
  • Nick Joy
  • Roger Kayes
  • Angela Maynard

 

  • Chris apologised for having no fixed agenda as such, due to treading water until launch of fliers.

 

  • We had a discussion regarding the omission of specific protection for county wildlife sites from the NPPF revisions and the need to respond to the consultation, however, despite this, it was agreed that these areas remain reasonably well protected and it will take several years before any revision is embedded.

 

  • We discussed the need to utilise the CWT map, and eventually theLLCA to inform spatial planning for conservation such as linking wildlife corridors.

 

  • Discussion ensued regarding the possibility that under the NP certain areas of land could be designated with caveats for development (i.e. having stipulations that key vulnerable sites could only be developed in certain ways).

 

  • Discussed the Community orchard scheme in Newquay which is an amazing resource for the community, where the land was gifted to the people of Newquay by the Duchy. Perhaps a similar wealthy land owner could be persuaded to do something similar for Perranzabuloe? Mentioned that we have no allotments within the Parish and that community schemes such as these could form part of our wish list or could be cited as suitable development for certain areas of vulnerable land within the parish.

 

  • We all had a good look at the CWT maps and more detailed analysis is available should we require it.

 

  • Chris asked about obtaining the designation status for the grading of agricultural land.Roger said he would help with this.

 

  • Brief discussion on the formation of settlement boundaries and the criteria we would use to do so, but was agreed that it was too early in the process without having completed the LLCA to formulate any policies on this.

 

  • Discussions then turned to Communications (see Nick’s notes)

 

  • Meeting concluded at around 9.30

2018-05-10 Parish Council & SWW Meeting Notes

Parish Council & South West Water

Meeting Notes

10th May 2018

The Parties:

South West Water (SWW) Represented by:

Perry Hobbs – Head of Strategic Investment Planning Richard Behan – Flood Risk Manager
Ian McFerlane – Customer Services and Network Manager

Perranzabuloe Parish Council

(PC) Councillor Steve Arthur Councillor Karen Colam

Councillor William Rogers

Perranzabuloe Neighbourhood Plan (NDP)

Rory Jenkins

Kevin Havill

Background:
The meeting had been arranged by William Rogers as a chance for both the PC and NDP understand more about the issues facing SWW to deliver its responsibilities for waste water collection and treatment. Whether the current infrastructure is sufficient, what improvements are necessary and whether there is capacity to collect and treat more particularly if there is to be more residential development in the parish.

All parties were aware of problems including flooding of Thywanhale Square and overloading of the pumping station on Station Road.

The PC and NDP explained that clean sea and stream water all year round is vital for safety and amenity of visitors and all year round residents alike. The local economy is largely built on tourism with the beach and water sport as the central theme. Many residents have chosen the area because of the landscape and lifestyle. Awareness to environmental issues is growing illustrated by the popular designation of the Perranporth as a plastic free zone.

Responsibilities:
SWW explained that responsibilities for the flooding management collection of foul and surface water are split between:
Environment Agency – Sea and rivers
Cornwall Council (highways) – Highways
SWW – Sewers, surface water from hardstanding within the curtilage of properties
Defra – A government regularity authority with responsibilities to monitor water and sea water quality including The Bathing Water Directive

System:
Perranporth – Surface Water and sewerage drains to the pumping station on Station Road from where it is pumped to Droskyn, then to a treatment works at Cligga and with a discharge of treated water into the sea.
Goonhavern – Has its own treatment works and the treated water discharge goes into streams.

The historic network was built in the anticipation that rain water would dilute effluent before it being run into the sea. The Clean Sweep policy introduced 18 years ago has been built on the basis that raw waste should not enter the rivers or sea but be treated first.

Problems arise primarily because water enters the SWW system from surface run off such as highways (which could be discharged into streams and rivers – for example Station Road) and from historic mine shafts and addits (for example Thywanhale Square). These extraordinary loads stretch the pumping station in Perranporth beyond its capacity and can cause outflows of untreated effluent. SWW has permits for a limited number of Combined Sewage Outflows (CSOs) at designated points and has obligations to both report incidents to the Environment Agency and monitor water quality on a continuous basis.

For new development it is now theoretically required that surface water does not flow offsite into the sewerage system thereby reducing the volumes pumped to treatment works. The historic network remains though and Cornwall Council did not take the opportunity to rectify local problems on Station Road from highway run off when the Environment Agency undertook flood management works a few years ago. In terms of new developments, these often manage to present a case that allows them to not deal with surface water onsite, but discharge it into the existing system.

Specific problems around Bolenna Park and Hendrawna Lane were discussed and SWW will investigate further.

The tankering of waste from Station Road to Droskyn over the recent winter had been as a response to the broken main between the two locations on St Georges Hill. This main has now been repaired.

Planning Process
SWW explained that are not a statutory consultee in the planning process. They are consulted but their views can be overruled. The grant of planning permission gives property owns the right to connect and SWW are obliged to provide service irrespective of whether their infrastructure is adequate.

All the respective agencies hold duty of care responsibilities and issues arising from the historic networks along the North Coast are well known. A long term Drainage and Waste Water Plan is being compiled and to cover a future 25 year period, however, this plan won’t be ready until 2022.

The PC and NDP expressed the view that a large, probably majority, proportion of residents would like to prevent further development because of inadequacies in the current infrastructure. SWW responded that in their experience using capacity problems to halt development rarely works in the long term. However they were keen to promote that the NDP include policies to tackle all drainage issues with future development targets to be linked to completed improvements.

In short the Perranporth pumping and treatment works could support future development IF there was proper separation of surface run off from household waste as could Goonhavern to a lessor extent but which benefits from an easier topography.

An example of a multi authority agreement known as Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Llanelli was discussed. Under this agreement developers are required to make provision for the removal of storm water from the system before new foul water is introduced. This model could be on a 1:1 or possibly a 2:1 ratio basis.

Funding for improvements works could come from the following sources:
Central Government – Flooding and Coastal Defence Projects Community Infrastructure Levy – Cornwall Council

Highways – Cornwall Council

Next Steps
SWW water to provide more information of the Llanelli MOU and to investigate further problems at Bolenna and Hendrawna
SWW to revert on why the spill alert system only works during the bathing season and not year round.
PC to discuss
NDP to develop draft policies for community feedback

Chris apologised for having no fixed agenda as such, due to treading water until launch of fliers.

We had a discussion regarding the omission of specific protection for county wildlife sites from the NPPF revisions and the need to respond to the consultation, however, despite this, it was agreed that these areas remain reasonably well protected and it will take several years before any revision is embedded.

We discussed the need to utilise the CWT map, and eventually theLLCA to inform spatial planning for conservation such as linking wildlife corridors.

Discussion ensued regarding the possibility that under the NP certain areas of land could be designated with caveats for development (i.e. having stipulations that key vulnerable sites could only be developed in certain ways).

Discussed the Community orchard scheme in Newquay which is an amazing resource for the community, where the land was gifted to the people of Newquay by the Duchy. Perhaps a similar wealthy land owner could be persuaded to do something similar for Perranzabuloe? Mentioned that we have no allotments within the Parish and that community schemes such as these could form part of our wish list or could be cited as suitable development for certain areas of vulnerable land within the parish.

We all had a good look at the CWT maps and more detailed analysis is available should we require it.

Chris asked about obtaining the designation status for the grading of agricultural land.Roger said he would help with this.

Brief discussion on the formation of settlement boundaries and the criteria we would use to do so, but was agreed that it was too early in the process without having completed the LLCA to formulate any policies on this.

Discussions then turned to Communications (see Nick’s notes)

Meeting concluded at around 9.30
