1China Clay Place Based Topic Paper - March 2013


Local Plan Objectives for China Clay CNA:

Objective CC1 – Regeneration: Support the regeneration of villages and the local economy.

Objective CC2 – Affordable Housing: Enable the delivery of affordable housing.

Objective CC3 – Community Infrastructure: Enable the delivery of community infrastructureincluding new facilities, green space and key transport links. Reduce the impact of traffic oncommunities.

Objective CC4 – The Environment: Conserve heritage assets, including mining heritage andnature conservation sites and enhancement of the local environment (in particular emergingopportunities as a result of restoring china clay workings).

Local Plan Policy (PP9) for China Clay CNA:

Development will be permitted where it can be demonstrated that the following priorities forSt Austell; China Clay; St Blazey, Fowey and Lostwithiel can be satisfied:3. China ClayCommunity Network Area:

a. The provision of around 9,450sqm of B1a office accommodation and 10,800sqm of Industrialspace has been identified. This has the potential of accommodating 800 jobs in the CNA overthe plan period.

b. The provision of around 1,400 dwellings in the period up to 2030. Additional housing andemployment growth should be of a size, nature and scale appropriate to the needs, character,role and services available of the settlement.

4. In all three Community Network Areas

a. Development should help rebalance the communities by providing facilities, economicdevelopment or housing for local needs of a scale that is appropriate to the settlement andreduces the need to travel.

b. Development should deliver community benefits in the form of affordable housing for localpeople and contributions to requirements for facilities, services and infrastructure identifiedlocally.

5. In the St Austell, St Blazey and China Clay Area Regeneration Area development will besupported which is sustainable, positively contributes to the vision of becoming the GreenCapital of Cornwall of a nature and scale that would bring about significant change for thebetter and which has been the subject of robust community consultation. It should:

a. Achieve high environmental standards. Developers will be required to demonstrate therange of carbon reduction and energy efficiency measures that were considered as part ofthe proposal, and provide a rationale that explains which measures will be applied.



b. Deliver mixed use development in order to deliver new jobs, skills and economic growth toexisting or new businesses, and strengthen local supply chains. A successful mixed usedevelopment will be required to demonstrate how it makes a positive contribution toinfrastructure and greenspace within the local area. This may include the productive andpositive remediation and reuse of previously developed land and despoiled, degraded, derelict,contaminated and unstable land including land in rural areas, particularly where the likelihoodof early restoration of the land is remote, and where it is not of high environmental value.

Purpose of paper

This is one of a series of papers whose main purpose is to identify the key issues for a specificarea of Cornwall. There are nineteen Community Network Areas in Cornwall, based on groupingsof parishes as shown on the map below. Community Network Areas were introduced to givecommunities a stronger voice in helping them deal with complex issues. In this they offer a valuableconduit through which the proposed Local Plan: Part 2 Policy Messages for Places can be refinedto reflect local issues through engagement, policy formulation, delivery and local ownership. Furtherin format ion on Communi ty Network Areas can be found athttp://www.cornwall.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=12439.

The issues have been identified from a variety of sources including plans and proposals of otherorganisations. Parish plans have been very useful in identifying issues, and a summary of the‘visions’ for each of the parish plans undertaken in the China Clay Community Network Area isincluded in the section on "Community Planning Visions". A full list of the Issues Papers can beaccessed on the Council’s website at http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=22887.

China Clay Community Network Area

Description: The China Clay Community Network Area contains a range of settlements of differenttypes and sizes as shown on the map below.

The main transport link to and within this Community Network Area is the A30 which runs throughthe North of the area, connecting it to the rest of Cornwall it has good public transport to othertowns, but travel between villages is more complicated. Some of the larger villages provide for thebasic day to day needs of the area’s inhabitants, with a number of mobile services serving thesmaller settlements. For other services and facilities inhabitants must travel to larger service centresoutside the area, notably St Austell.

Links with other areas: The clay industry employs 1,400. Many residents work within the area–though there is significant commuting to Bodmin and St Austell.



Key Facts

Key facts about the China Clay Community Network Area include the following(www.cornwall.gov.uk/Default.aspx?page=20177 for the latest version of the China Clay CommunityNetwork profile which gives more information)

PARISHES: Roche, St Dennis, St Enoder, St Stephen-in-Brannel and Treverbyn.

POPULATION: The population of 25,900 (2008 mid-year estimate) is distributed through a numberof large villages and hamlets the largest being St Dennis, Roche, Indian Queens / Fraddon / StColumb Road, St Stephen and Bugle. Over the period 2001-2008, the population growth rate was12% - double the Cornish average. The age distribution is similar to the Cornwall average, althoughthere are slightly higher proportions of the population in the 0 to 49 age groups and lower proportionsin the 50 plus age groups . There is a higher proportion of children and 20-40 year olds than theCornwall average.

ENVIRONMENT: The environment is dominated by clay workings. The area includes some natureconservation sites - the Goss Moor and Clay Areas Special Areas of Conservation / Sites of SpecialScientific Interest.



http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/Default.aspx?page=20177

HOUSING: There were around11,100 dwellings in 2010 – 4.4% of Cornwall’s dwellings. Therehas been a 47% increase in dwelling numbers (1991-2010 – average of 20% across Cornwall).As at 31st March 2010 there were 135 dwellings under construction and 551 unimplementedplanning permissions. About 1.2% of dwellings were registered as empty properties - Cornwallaverage 1.7% and 2.8% of properties were registered as second homes – Cornwall average 10.7%(Council Tax, 2011). These figures indicate that a low proportion of dwellings remain vacant, andthat there is minimal competition from other types of dwelling occupiers – most dwellings are usedby permanent residents. 69 affordable homes are required each year to meet need.

EMPLOYMENT: The clay industry employs around 1,400 people. Many residents work within thearea – though there is significant commuting to Bodmin, St Austell and Truro.

TRAVEL: There is good public transport to the towns, and a branch line from Par to Newquay,with halts at Luxulyan, Bugle, Roche, St Columb Road and Quintrell Downs. There is also aminerals line serving the clay industry.

FACILITIES: There is a secondary School at St. Stephen (which has just been completely re-built)plus various junior and infants schools, some of which feed into schools outside the area (mainlySt Austell). There are doctors’ surgeries and numerous other community facilities -sports -villagehalls etc.

Options Consultation Feedback

Feedback from the parish councils within the network area to the Options consultation (which tookplace during February – April 2011) show that Roche and St Stephen Parish Councils preferredthe dispersed approach to distribution (growth split between main towns and villages), whilst StDennis Parish Council preferred to see development focussed in the main towns of Cornwall. StEnoder Parish Council expressed a view that development should occur only when required bythe community and only to meet local need. In addition, certain parts of these areas would like a'breathing space' from development, where they have already experienced very high levels ofgrowth over the past 20 years and where there exists a large number of schemes awaitingcommencement or pending determination.
