SUMMARY OF RESPONSES TO STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

SPRING 2014

STAKEHOLDER / SUMMARY OF RESPONSE / ACTION TAKEN
The Nare Hotel / Toby Ashworth Managing Director / Discussions took place between Jon Smith, Chairman of the Roseland NDP Steering Group, and Toby Ashworth on 16 October 2013 and 3 March 2014. At the first meeting concerns were raised by the Nare that the plan could become 'unbalanced' due to the views of local individuals/groups being given unwarranted emphasis, and the lack of local business representation. At the second meeting the Chairman presented the results of 'Q 2'. / At the first meeting the Chair emphasised the diversity of experience and background of the Steering Group members and the intention to produce a 'community focused' plan that was representative of the views and opinions of the majority. At the second meeting it was apparent that the Nare was supportive of the views of the community and no areas of disagreement were found.
South West Coast Path Association / Letter received from the Secretary of the Association dated 6 February 2014. This set out the principles of the association and their desire to support protection of the landscape, seascapes, local character and distinctive heritage. / The contents of the response were found to be in support of the views of the community. Therefore no further action was deemed necessary.
King Harry Steam Ferry Co Ltd / Tim Light Managing Director / Chairman had a meeting with Tim Light at the King Harry offices on 6 February 2014 to present the results of 'Q2'. / It was clear that the company was supportive of the project overall and had no fundamental disagreement with the views of the community. Tim felt that there should be a forum for Roseland businesses and offered help and support to start such an initiative.
St Mawes & St Just in Roseland Society / Letter received from the society on 7 February 2014. The points raised were similar to those from the community consultations undertaken by the Steering Group. The one exception was a proposal to follow Swiss planning policy whereby developers must erect a skeleton structure to indicate the height and spread of a proposed building. / No action was taken as the majority of points raised reflected the views of the community. No action was felt necessary regarding the “Swiss approach” as this was the first time such a proposal had been raised and was seen as an isolated response.
Tregothnan Estate / Andrew Jarvis Estates Director / Letter received dated 10 February requesting a face to face meeting. This took place on 20 March 2014 between Jon Smith, Chairman of the SG, Estates Director Andrew Jarvis and Simon Leather. The Chair explained the background and purpose of the plan, and summarised the results from the public consultation. It was clear that the estate was interested in working with the Roseland community if appropriate on renewable energy initiatives. / It was agreed to schedule a further meeting once the plan had progressed further and the issue of renewables could be explored in greater depth.
Friends of PendowerBeach / Helen Hastings Chairperson / An email was received on 21 February 2014. Whilst setting out issues which were broadly comparable to those raised by the community there were two matters raised which were outside of those. These related to the scale of
individual commercial developments and the implementation of the Roseland NDP. / The Chair responded immediately to Friends of Pendower regarding implementation, reminding the Group that the decision making process would remain with the Parish Councils and Cornwall Council who would be responsible for compliance with the NDP. With regard to the scale of commercial development, the MT felt that this was dealt with in the NPPF and that reference to this in the text of the plan was all that was necessary or appropriate, there being no need for a Roseland specific policy.
Econsulting / Ashley Friedlein CEO / An email was received on 6 March and the Chairman held a meeting with Ashley on 17 April 2014. The proposal is to create jobs locally in the IT industry, through the creation of appropriate premises. / This is covered in the Cornwall Local Plan, and the Roseland NDP would also support this. Therefore it was felt that this concern had already been addressed.
Cornwall Wildlife Trust / Cheryl Marriott Conservation Manager / Email received from Cheryl on 24 March 2014. This broadly supported the views that the community had expressed, but also suggested projects. / A project on the creation, expansion, buffering and linkage of semi-natural habitats was incorporated into the plan.
Natural England / Email received on 4 April 2014. This offered “general advice”. / It was decided to incorporate a policy to ensure that development would not take place on good quality agricultural land, as the community consultation evidenced support for the landscape, and for farming. In addition it would fit in with NPPF policy.
CAD Architects / Email received from Steve Hooper, Architectural Director on 10 April 2014 requesting an informal meeting to discuss a 'Design Guide' for the Roseland. This meeting took place on 30 June 2014 when the Chairman, Jon Smith attended at the offices of CAD Architects in Truro. At this meeting the Chair explained how the plan had progressed and the intention to adopt the 'Carrick Design Guide' as an interim measure while work took place to create a bespoke Roseland Design Guide. It was agreed that the practice was familiar with the 'Carrick Design Guide' and was not averse to using it. The Chair invited the practice to take part in creating the 'Roseland Design Guide'. / No action taken as yet, but CAD Architects will need to be informed when work is begun on the 'Roseland Design Guide' proper.
'The Rosevine' / Completed 'Q2' received. Comments were made that the business needs of the area cannot be ignored. / No action taken as it was felt that, given the constraints of the AONB and the existing AONB Management Plan, the Plan was as supportive of business needs as was appropriate.
