Truro and Roseland Community Network Area Discussion Paper

Contents

TR 1 Introduction

The Truro & Roseland Community Network Area covers the parishes of Chacewater, Cuby,Feock, Gerrans, Grampound with Creed, Kea, Kenwyn, Ladock, Philleigh, Probus,Ruanlanihorne, St Clement, St Erme, St Just-in-Roseland, St Michael Caerhays, St MichaelPenkevil, Tregony, Truro and Veryan.

Truro’s population of 22,700 belies its key service and administrative importance for thecounty. Originally a small stannary port on the Truro / Fal River, its real growth in status canbe linked to the completion of the cathedral in the early 20th century and its role as a strategicadministrative and retail service centre for Cornwall. The city has some fine Georgianarchitecture, however later growth was often of a less distinguished standard. Many of thevillages surrounding Truro were subject to considerable growth from the 1960s onwardscreating additional commuting patterns.

The wider community network area includes the distinctive Roseland peninsula – a primarilyagricultural area with an important but low key tourism industry. The wider community networkarea population is 44,300. The number of dwellings is around 20,600, having grown by about20% in the period 1991 to 2010.

The Truro and Kenwyn area is the subject of a draft Neighbourhood Plan which is set out atSection TR6.

TR 3 What You Have Told Us

Research and consultation have identified the following objectives for the area:

Objective 1 – Housing Needs

Plan for the appropriate location and distribution of housing growth, taking intoconsideration the evidence gathering work undertaken for the Truro and ThreemilestoneArea Action Plan. Ensure that the housing needs of the community are met, with aparticular emphasis on affordable housing.

Objective 2 – Housing and Jobs

Balance the provision of employment and housing to reduce commuting.

Objective 3 – Employment

Provide high quality, well paid employment in locations that reduce the need to travel.

Objective 4 – Sustainable Transport

Enable the use of more sustainable transport modes (for goods and people) and reducecongestion through the provision of additional transport infrastructure and ensuringsustainable transport is designed into new development.

Objective 5 – Shops and Services

Support the retail function of Truro in relation to other main towns in Cornwall and withinthe South West. Protect shops and access to services and facilities in rural areas.

Objective 6 – Community Facilities

Ensure that facilities, including health, leisure, education and sports facilities, are providedto support new development and address existing deficiencies.

Objective 7 – Design

Ensure that development is adaptable, sustainable and of a high quality design and layout.

Objective 8 – Landscape

Ensure that development respects the distinctive landscape settings of both Truro andthe Highertown / Threemilestone area.

Objective 9 – Sustainable Development

Provide a strategic framework to balance economic development, maritime industries,protection of the environment and access to the coast.

Objective 10 – Reduce the risk of flooding

Ensure future development utilises sustainable drainage technology to ensure thatadditional flood risks are avoided. The sequential approach to flooding will inform sitechoices in Truro city centre taking into account significant flood risk on some sites.


3What You Have Told Us

In addition, the following vision and priorities have been identified by the Truro andSurrounding Areas Working group for the Truro area:

“Our vision is for Truro to be a successful and vibrant city, where everyone can thriveeconomically, culturally and socially; a safe city, aware of its history and confident of itsfuture; that promotes and achieves learning, innovation, activity, health and sustainabledevelopment. Truro will be a diverse community that provides for and values all of itspeople, ensuring that developments benefit communities".

To achieve this vision the following principles have been set for the city and its surroundingarea:

1. Creating, strengthening and maintaining sustainable communities – newdevelopment should create sustainable communities or help to maintain and enhanceexisting communities. This includes the provision of local needs housing and localcentres ensuring that appropriate facilities are provided across the city to reduce theneed to travel as well as encouraging and respecting locally distinctive forms ofdevelopment. Furthermore specific development principles will be provided for throughdevelopment briefs;

2. Meeting our infrastructure needs sustainably – development should ensure thatinfrastructure provision allows the effective social, environmental and economicfunctioning of the city. In particular development should maximise the opportunitiesfor local sustainable power generation, increasing the energy efficiency of the city,sustainable water management and opportunities for sustainable travel;

3. Providing for sustainable movement – development should help to reduce theneed to travel, provide for more accessible public transport, maximise use of the railnetwork as well as encourage active travel;

4. Strengthening the city centre – to maintain the city centre as the primary locationfor retail and commercial uses and encouraging diversity of uses in the city centre;

5. Maximising opportunities for brownfield redevelopment – to prioritise brownfieldland for redevelopment;

6. Shaped by our green infrastructure – enhancing and providing the greeninfrastructure needed to support Truro, including open spaces, access to thecountryside and food and fuel production;

7. Empowering the community – to create, champion and maintain a long termvision for Truro and surrounding areas;

8. Taking a holistic approach to land use – we recognise the need to balance thereasonable needs of development with the needs of agriculture to provide for ourcommunity.

4Approach to Future Growth and Distribution

TR 5 Levels of Proposed Growth

In determining the growth and distribution targets for this community network area we havetaken into account feedback received during the Options consultation (which took place duringFebruary – April 2011); as well as the conclusions from the supporting evidence basedocuments, such as the Community Network Area Growth Profiles. Full details for all of thesedocuments can be found at www.cornwall.gov.uk/corestrategy.

Feedback from the public exhibitions held in Truro on 25th February and 7th April show that46% opted for medium growth across Cornwall (48,000 new homes) and 45% preferred thedispersed approach to distribution (growth split between main towns and villages).

The response from the Town & Parish Councils in the area to the Options on growth anddistribution are shown in the table below:-

Based on a Cornwall-wide growth target of 48,000 new homes, we have identified that theTruro & Roseland Community Network Area should anticipate a growth target of 5,200 newhomes over the period 2010-2030 (equating to about 260 new homes per year)(2). This ishigher than the housing growth rates seen over the past 10 years where there was an averageof 193 new homes built per year in this network area.

However, some of these new homes already have planning permission as can be demonstratedby the table below.

Potential new Eco-Community Sites

To properly explore all the options for future development in Cornwall, Cornwall Councilengaged consultants in 2011 to undertake a ‘Call for Sites’ for potential new eco-communitieswithin Cornwall which meet the level of standards set out in Planning Policy Statement 1:Supplement on eco-towns(3). More information on this is also provided on our website(4).

Eco-communities should aim to:(5)

• achieve sustainability standards significantly above equivalent levels of developmentin existing towns and cities;

• reduce the carbon footprint of development to a low level and achieve a more sustainableway of living;

• be resilient to, and appropriate for, climate change; with both mitigation and adaptationin mind;

• provide increased commitment and infrastructure for sustainable energy;

• provide access to one employment opportunity per new dwelling that is easily reachedby walking, cycling and/or public transport;

• provide for at least 30 per cent affordable housing.

As a result of this work 11 sites across Cornwall have been identified as meeting the relevantcriteria.

Within the Truro and Roseland Community Network Area two sites have been identified atMaiden Green, Truro and Stencoose Farm, near Treliske which are shown as Sites RTP2 andRTP12 on the map below.

A more detailed exploration would need to be undertaken before any sites are progressed,and normal planning application procedures would still apply. The site areas identified weresubmitted by a third party and are not necessarily supported by Cornwall Council. However,the Council is keen to understand whether there would be local support, in principle, to developthese sites as new eco-communities.

Retail and Truro Town Centre(6)(7)

The following map of Truro shows the extent of the primary shopping area and primary retailfrontages as set out in the Retail Study(8) and the town centre boundary based on advicefrom GVA Grimley.

PPS6: Planning for Town Centres (2005)(9) and the draft National Planning Policy Framework(NPPF, 2011)(10) define primary shopping areas as where retail development is concentrated.According to PPS6 and the draft NPPF the extent of primary retail frontages are likely toinclude a high proportion of retail uses. Under the PPS6 and draft NPPF definition town centresinclude the primary shopping area and areas of predominantly leisure, business and othermain town centre uses that are within or adjacent to the primary shopping area.

6 Despite Truro's city status, 'town centre' is used for consistency with retail planning terminology.7 Cornwall Council is in the process of reviewing the town centre and retail related boundaries in consultation with its retail

consultants. It is intended that all of these boundaries will be reviewed before the next stage of the plan.8 www.cornwall.gov.uk/retailstudy9 www.communities.gov.uk/documents/planningandbuilding/pdf/147399.pdf10 www.communities.gov.uk/publications/planningandbuilding/draftframework



TR 6 Truro and Kenwyn Neighbourhood Plan

6.1 Introduction

The Truro and Kenwyn Neighbourhood Plan is a document that is being prepared by TruroCity Council and Kenwyn Parish Council, supported by Cornwall Council, to help inform andguide future development over the next 20 years (i.e. 2010 to 2030). The document will setout the vision and objectives for the area; develop a spatial strategy that highlights appropriatelocations and scale of development; and will further set out the infrastructure that will needto be delivered to ensure it meets the needs of the existing and future population.

The ‘Neighbourhood Plan’ and the Core Strategy are being progressed in tandem using evidencegenerated through the development of previous documents including a draft Framework Planfor Truro,(11) and its surrounding areas. Previous work has been led through a steering groupof Cornwall Councillors and members of the City and Parish Councils and has looked primarilyat the evidence base for the area and set principles and a vision for the city. The work thathas already been carried out and the developing Neighbourhood Plan will help to inform thefuture strategic policies of the Core Strategy and other Council documents. This sectionsummarises the work undertaken to date and sets out the options that the Council believecould accommodate the housing and commercial growth that is being proposed.

6.2 Local Issues and Objectives to Address

Local issues and opportunities:

The major roads into Truro and Threemilestone are congested, particularly at peak times;The landscape setting of both Truro and Highertown/Threemilestone are high quality andlocally treasured;Infrastructure has failed to keep pace with development, with particular concerns regardingdrainage and transport infrastructure;There are opportunities for regeneration of the waterfront and increased use of the port;High house prices and a lack of new housing supply have resulted in a lack of affordablehousing;There is a high level of need identified for non-food retail in the city;20% of the city centre lies within a high risk flood zone and the valleys to the west areproblem drainage catchments;There is a perception of a loss of identity in the Threemilestone area due to the expansionof Truro;There are concerns regarding the loss of good quality agricultural land to development;andThere is perceived to be a tension between the needs of Truro as a strategic servicecentre for Cornwall and the needs of its communities.

A key priority is to maintain and, where possible, enhance the character of the Truro area. Anumber of objectives and a vision (see Section TR 3) have been developed for the area throughan increasing evidence base derived from the work carried out in the development of theprevious drafts of the Area Action Plan as well as housing, retail and employment studies,and continued engagement with a steering group made up of representatives from the Cityand Parish Councils and Cornwall Councillors. These will be tested as part of the engagementand consultation taking place for the draft Neighbourhood Plan.

6.3 Future Economic Growth

The demand for employment in Truro and Threemilestone is increasingly driven by theknowledge economy associated with Truro College and the Peninsula Medical School. Thereis a substantial proportion of public sector jobs in Truro, but an expanding (mainly officebased) private sector. The employment offer of the city is split almost equally between thecity centre and the Highertown and Threemilestone area. The city experiences a large amountof in-commuting, with 69% of its working population drawn from outside of the city. The highproportion of jobs in Truro as a service centre, combined with slow house building, has leadto an imbalance in the number of jobs and the level of housing within the Truro area. Whilstit is recognised that there may always be an attraction to live outside of the place in whichpeople work, there is still a long standing aspiration to start to reduce the level ofin-commuting. This has led Truro’s growth to be mainly focussed around increasing housingnumbers rather than employment driven. This would help enable Truro to become moreself-sustaining and address considerable commuting issues. The focus is also upon the qualityof the employment opportunities in the city and raising the employment density, particularlyin existing employment areas such as Newham and Treliske where significant areas of landare given over to storage and trade counter type uses which provide low employment numbersin comparison to the space occupied.

Currently the majority of employment within Truro is office, retail and service industry andindustrial based. Truro wants to attract companies and uses that will deliver well paid, highquality jobs (such as knowledge based industries) to help increase the density of employmentand increase wages. Employment will be mainly encouraged to make use of existingemployment locations and the city centre to reduce the need for greenfield or less sustainablelocations. The city centre, Newham and Treliske have good transport links (road and rail) andin the case of Newham, opportunities to develop on the strengths of the port facility to facilitatewaterborne transport. In addition, Cornwall’s investment in Superfast Broadband connectivitycould provide a significant advantage, which will help to attract some of the knowledge basedcompanies to locate in and around the city.

The Cornwall Employment Land Review (ELR)(12) estimates that over a 20 year periodeconomic growth within Truro could stimulate the generation of up to 3,800 jobs connectedto industries such as retail, leisure, education, healthcare, financial services etc. This wouldcover an area of approximately 6 - 10 hectares or 22,000 sqm of space.

The ELR identified that there is little undeveloped land within Truro and Threemilestone,although there is potentially considerable scope for the redevelopment of brownfield sites inthe existing industrial estates.

The development options which could deliver the future economic growth of Truro are set outbelow (the map later in this section identifies their locations);

Site group T1: Truro Urban – There are a number of sites throughout the city centre andNewham that would be suitable for more intensive employment use provided existing usescan be relocated. All of the sites are accessible by sustainable transport modes.

Site group T2: Truro West – These sites are separated from Threemilestone by the A390.The Council is currently in receipt of a planning application for the development of a mixeduse development, including 17,000 sqm of employment and the potential of a further 5,000sqm of grow on space for the Medical Innovation centre at Treliske. The site grouping isadjacent to the A390 and the Langarth Park and Ride.

Site group T11: Greenbottom – The site is located close to existing industrial estates andpart of the area to the south of the Greenbottom Road could be considered suitable for mixeduse development.

Truro and Kenwyn Neighbourhood Plan6

6.4 Retail

The Cornwall Retail Study 2010(13) indicates that over the 20 year period, there is a relativelysmall need for additional convenience (food) floorspace of up to 4400 sqm, but a large needfor comparison (non-food) retail between 46,800 – 55,800 sqm in the period up to 2030,based upon current shopping patterns. The Retail Study indicates that the role and functionof Truro is strategic in the context of Cornwall, attracting a high number of journeys fromother towns and remaining a target for outside investment above other settlements in Cornwall.There is little available brownfield land in Truro city centre at this time potentially leading tosignificant applications for out of town retail proposals. Imaginative consideration will needto be given to how such growth can be accommodated within, or well located in relation to,the city centre and avoid becoming of such a scale that it inhibits investment in other towncentres in Cornwall, whilst recognising that for some forms of retail Truro city centre will bethe only viable option for location.

6.5 Future Housing Growth

As set out in Section TR 5, a growth target of 4,500 new homes is proposed for Truro andThreemilestone, with a further 700 new homes for the remainder of the community networkarea, which would be delivered over a 20 year period (2010-2030).

It is important that future housing growth is delivered in a sustainable and masterplannedway to ensure that existing infrastructure deficiencies are addressed and that sustainable andlivable communities are formed. Masterplanning of sites will therefore be required todemonstrate how this will be achieved, possibly through mixed use development.

6.6 Delivery of Housing in the Existing Urban Area

An assessment of sites within the existing urban area has been undertaken to determine theirappropriateness for delivering housing. This assessment indicates that the existing urbanarea of Truro and Threemilestone (including the former Richard Lander School site) couldaccommodate up to 600 new dwellings. This figure assumes medium to high densities andalmost exclusively flatted development in the city centre area. There are a small number oflarge sites that have been considered but there is considerable uncertainty regardingdeliverability of the Council owned car park sites, which make up the majority. Truro citycentre’s brownfield sites are subject to a number of potentially competing uses includingparking, retail, other employment and housing. Garras Wharf, New Bridge Street and OakWay/part of Pydar Street are within the flood storage area and flood plain. Encouragementshould be given to ‘living over the shop’ and the conversion of appropriate disused floorspaceto provide additional residential accommodation in the city centre, however this shouldrecognise the need for a diverse mix of uses (including offices) to maintain the viability ofthe city centre.

Whilst seeking to prioritise the delivery of housing within the urban area, it is recognised thatdevelopment outside of the existing urban area will be necessary to meet the required economicand housing targets.

6.7 Delivery of Housing and Mixed Use Developments

All sites contiguous with Truro and Threemilestone have been subject to a broad assessmentof the potential capacity of the site groupings regarding numbers of dwellings and other usesthat could be accommodated on the site groupings assessed. This has identified a long list ofsite options that could collectively deliver potentially between 4,450 and 11,760 dwellings.These have been identified in the Potential Development Options identified in this document

13 www.cornwall.gov.uk/retailstudy



for consultation. This long list of groups will then be reduced to those most likely to bedelivered, cause least harm in terms of environmental impact and accord with the objectivesfor the area.

For each site group, a gross number of dwellings has been estimated. Please note that theseassume comprehensive development of the whole group and do not allow for all of the siteconstraints. The details set out under 'Mixed Use Development' discuss some of the constraintsto development.

6.8 Potential Development Options

Through extensive desk and field based assessments (which can be reviewed within theevidence base on the Council’s website(14) and Working Group engagement, a number ofdevelopment site options that could help to deliver Truro’s future economic and housinggrowth over the next 20 years have been generated. The map later in this section sets outthe locations of all the sites that could be considered.

It is important to note that as part of any major development, it is essential that employmentuses or good, sustainable access to employment sites are included in the overall mix ofdevelopment. The comprehensive masterplanning of sites should demonstrate how this willbe delivered as well as ensuring that the development is sustainable for Truro.

This section summarises the site options presented on the map later in this section. Siteoptions assume an average of 35 dwellings per hectare to allow for higher densities adjacentto public transport hubs, whilst reducing densities adjacent to edges of sites and the ruralfringe for highway capacity issues and respect for the surrounding built / natural environment.

6.9 Mixed Use Development

Site group T1: Truro Urban – This option could allow up to 600 dwellings if developedprimarily for residential, but considerably less if developed for mixed use or retail/officeled proposals. Development would be contained on brownfield sites, but reductions innumbers may be necessary to respond to flood risk constraints. Development would belargely flats due to the constricted nature of the sites and high values in the city centre.This option assumes that the Former Richard Lander School site could provide around250 dwellings and the city centre sites are likely to provide less than 350 dwellings.

Site group T2: Truro West – Approximately 2,500 dwellings based on mixed usedevelopment with up to 11,000 mixed employment, a stadium and a small supermarketof up to 30,00 square feet (net). This site grouping is the subject of a development briefcreated to help capture community aspirations.

Site group T3: Coosebean– This site grouping could accommodate up to 2,400 dwellingsbased on a primarily residential scheme that includes basic facilities for the communityand a school. The golf course element of the grouping could provide the best links toexisting frequent public transport routes. Land in the Coosebean valley and margins ofStencoose are steep, environmentally more sensitive and, in the case of Coosebean,critical to the setting of the city centre and Highertown, potentially reducing the capacityof the site group to around 1,500 dwellings.

Site group T4: Kenwyn North– This site grouping could provide up to 490 dwellingsbased on a primarily residential scheme, however the distance from the city centre wouldindicate that some facilities and improved bus penetration of the sites would be required

14 www.cornwall.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=17766



to ensure that the development promotes more sustainable living and travelling patterns.Any development of the existing playing fields would need to be based on replacementof the facility.

Site group T5: Truro North– The site grouping could accommodate approximately 450dwellings based on a primarily residential scheme. The landform and relative inaccessibilityof the site to employment and the city centre would reduce the capacity of the site.Coldrose Farm is considered critical to the setting of the city centre.

Site group T6: Truro East– Approximately 100 dwellings and small supermarket andemployment uses could be accommodated within this site grouping (based on currentproposals and a residential led redevelopment of the cattle market site). Part of this landgrouping is the subject of a current planning application. The remainder of the group isconstrained by requirements to relocate the existing cattle market and provide a bufferto preserve the setting of the Scheduled Ancient Monument at Polwhele castle. The totalnumber of dwellings is likely to be reduced to approximately 100 from 300 if these issuescannot be satisfactorily resolved.

Site group T7: St Clements Hill – This grouping could accommodate up to 850 dwellingsbased on a primarily residential scheme. The grouping contains land that affects thesetting of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is critical to the setting of the citycentre, which combined with capacity issues on St Clements Hill would significantly reducethe capacity of the site.

Site group T8: Truro South– Approximately 1,400 dwellings could be accommodatedbased on a primarily residential scheme with some ancillary retail and employmentprovision (using previous proposals for development). The Higher Newham element ofthe grouping has recently been refused permission at appeal due to landscape impactson the neighbouring Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, potentially reducing the capacityof the group to 400 dwellings.

Site group T9: Highertown – Approximately 570 dwellings could be accommodatedbased on a primarily residential scheme. Development would need to ensure maximumuse of sustainable transport measures and strong linkages to existing residential andemployment areas in the corridor.

Site group T10: Besore– Approximately 1,300 dwellings could be accommodated basedon a primarily residential scheme with ancillary retail and employment provision. The sitewould need to ensure maximum use of sustainable transport measures and address issuesof linkage to employment and facilities unless these are provided on the site.

Site group T11: Greenbottom– Approximately 900 dwellings could be accommodatedbased on a primarily residential scheme. This site is detached from the main urban areaand would need to provide strong linkages back to Threemilestone and provide sufficientfacilities, employment and sustainable transport to provide a sustainable location fordevelopment.
