Appendix C

Hayle

Cornwall Site Allocations DPD

Town Framework

Neighbourhood Plan

Amendments/comments made and resolved by Hayle Town Council at its Full Council meeting 16 October 2014 (in blue font below).

Housing Figures

• Already built: 73
• Outstanding permissions: 600 (HTC knows that some of the 877 as per original doc will not be built as they have been planned for a long time and planning permissions will be running out. HTC asks CC to review its original number to see if it is realistic.)

• Remaining to be provided 1327
• Windfall 2020 to 2030 = 107
• Other SHLAA sites: 120/150

Requirement for Site Allocation around 1000 dwellings (and as a consequence there is a need to amend the second plan to allow for joined up space between the two sites there and to make proper allocation for infrastructure to allow for looking beyond 2030 or earlier if the allocation is used up [as per the former town framework area].

Site Allocations Document only allocating medium/large/strategic sites

Penpol Option – Pro’s & Con’s

Pro’s

• Would provide land to expand Penpol School including drop off area – yes, but HTC downgrades this ‘pro’ as it is not a planning issue because it is Cornwall Council’s responsibility to address school/education issues.
• Would provide strategic open space in the west where there is a deficit/poor access – The deficit is in the Water Lane area and to access the area suggested you have to cross the road three times and therefore it is not a ‘pro’. It actually compounds the problem that is there as it would result in two open space/play areas in close proximity to each other and no more money for upkeep has been provided. Play areas need to be maintained.
• Good proximity to Foundry regeneration – promote walking/cycling? Is this a ‘pro’? It might be an objective but there is no guarantee it will happen and it may just lead to more traffic and no parking. HTC believes this is really a ‘con’ due to additional traffic in a difficult area.

Con’s

• Penpol road/Foundry constrained for vehicles
• Valley setting – it is not only a valley setting, but the valley itself has some industrial heritage merit, bordering a World Heritage Site.
• Higher grade land on part? (HTC believes this should be a separate ‘con’.)
• Impact of traffic to and from the ASDA supermarket – was this taken into account when this site was chosen/considered?

Trevassack Option – Pro’s & Con’s

Pro’s

• Proximity to Copperhouse Centre
• May disperse vehicles along Guildford & Penpol Road, although both constrained
• Development on two/three sides
• Sport pitches consideration? – HTC believes this is actually a ‘pro’ considering the Situ8 proposal which includes plans to improve the facilities at the Football Club

Con’s

• Constrained routes to Copperhouse Centre

HTC believes that the other ‘con’s’ in the original document relate to the need for a transportation plan and would expect strategic infrastructure to be part of one.

Housing prioritisation process – urban extensions

• Undertaken for the Cornwall Site Allocations DPD
• Methodology – used on all Towns:
• Objective planning assessment
  Hayle is different to other towns because of its linear nature with two main centres, which has been recognised by the planners in their own document.
• To priortise which site should be allocated
  
• & recommend other sites not be allocated/carried forward – HTC considers that no areas around Foundry can take a large scale housing development because of traffic problems until a new junction is in place, at least onto Mellanear Road, if not the A30. The Council would also like to draw attention to the flooding issues at Foundry; other sites where there is no history of flooding are preferred.
  
• HTC’s preferred sites are at the eastern end of the town (to include the area opposite Bodriggy School), primarily because of traffic issues. 2 Appendix C

Resolutions relating to the Hayle Cornwall Site Allocations DPD made at the Full Council meeting of Hayle Town Council 16 October 2014

Hayle Town Council resolved that it had done its best to respond to this draft and with the limited information available. If more is added to the Plan it wishes to be kept informed and consulted to the point of agreement.

Hayle Town Council resolved that it was pleased with much of the draft Hayle Area Framework as it was forward looking, with a firm strategy for housing and infrastructure to support it, with a holistic approach to planning and Hayle Town Council is disappointed that the Hayle Cornwall Site Allocations DPD removes a lot of the strategic nature of the town framework, in particular traffic and transport.
