| 22 September 2009. ING's consultants, Buro Happold, have issued a revised 'Travel Plan' related to the Hayle Harbour Development which has, I understand, already been approved by County Highways. If you are in a hurry go to page 18 for a summary. You will note that there are no revised congension figures and the preamble makes the case that the good outweighs the bad. Decide for yourself by clicking here. |

24 March 2009. The Outline Planning Application was passed 13 to 2 with an amendment to allow Hayle Town Council members a continued seat at 'appropriate meetings'. The Full application for Phase I passed unopposed.
The statement by Hayle Ward members, read at the beginning of deliberations, may be read here. |

04 March 2009 Following my discussions with the owner of the swing bridge, BRB Residuary Ltd, Mr. Clarke has sent me a copy of the 2001 bridge assessment completed by Cornwall County Council. It is 444 pages and 16Mb but, if you are keen on engineering, read it here.
The Buro Happold document on the bridge is available here (4.2Mb). |

26 February 2009 The Cornishman published a front page article by Phil Goodwin entitled "Fears harbour plan could threaten heritage status" and I was quoted in this:
Deputy mayor of Hayle and
district councillor John Bennett
said the planning committee
had to understand the
implication of awarding planning
permission.
"A lot of effort was made to
get Cornwall onto the list so we
have to decide whether that
should disappear because
somebody wants to build thousands
of houses," said Cllr Bennett.
"There may be circumstances
where we could give it
up but councillors need to
know that if they vote in favour
the listing is in danger."
|
I did not initiate the call with Phil and consequently my comments were off-the-cuff and entirely my own. I certainly did not purport to represent anyone else's views or those of either council. What I tried to convey was that I wanted the planning committee to have all material facts in front of them before making such a momentous decision.
At a meeting of Hayle Town Council on the evening of Thursday 26th of February the article was referenced by a member of the public and I stated that I had been misrepresented. Actually, although I disagreed with Phil about a few words (both inserted and omitted), on re-reading the piece I think it is pretty fair and I have given my apologies to Phil (who could not respond during the formal meeting of the council).

| I have heard comments about the role of 'unelected bodies' getting involved in Hayle. In the case of ICOMOS, however, this is unfair or irrelevant since it is Hayle and Cornwall that asked them to consider us for inscription. ICOMOS has a very small staff and does not routinely monitor World Heritage Sites in their jurisdiction. They rely on issues being raised and, if serious, they will act. In the case of Hayle harbour everyone seems to have assumed that they were informed - but they were not. Any view ICOMOS might have should inform the planning committee, not constrain them as some statutory consultees might. |

Cover Letters |
There are two cover letters: one relating to the outline planning application and the other relating to the listed building application. The former contains details of the phasing of the project and some of that is extracted below: |
Phasing
The original phasing for the redevelopment of Hayle Harbour was largely determined by ING’s desire to create a “destination” at the earliest opportunity. Certain key elements of the proposal relating to the refurbishment and further development of the Harbour would need to be undertaken in the initial phase in order to establish the context but, thereafter, phasing was driven by commercial considerations. In particular, there had been an objective to make a start in each separate geographical area of the proposal; to get some development underway on all three Quays and on both Hilltop and Riviere Fields.
However, it has long been apparent that an effective regeneration of Hayle Harbour, meeting all of the various public agency aspirations, could not be achieved by ING on a purely commercial basis. All parties have therefore been aware of the need to secure a funding partnership with the public sector. Throughout the process of developing the proposals for Hayle Harbour over the last five years, parallel discussions have been proceeding with various public agencies: in particular with the SWRDA and more latterly with the CPR Regeneration. These agencies are expected to make a significant funding contribution to the regeneration process.
Not surprisingly, much of SWRDA’s concern has revolved around two key parameters:
- Firstly, the need to establish SWRDA’s ground-breaking renewable energy initiative, Wave Hub and, in conjunction with this, to secure many of the consequential anticipated economic benefits for Hayle; and
- Secondly, and more broadly, the need to make a significant contribution to the economic development of West Cornwall.
ING have been happy to reflect public agency priorities within their proposals. These priorities find expression within an adjustment of ING’s approach to phasing. Primarily, the change is to place more initial emphasis upon the provision of infrastructure to support Wave Hub in its broadest economic sense. This has meant that initial emphasis has been shifted to focus on North Quay rather than the broader geographical distribution envisaged by ING.
ING have always envisaged an initial first phase covering an approximate three-year period. This will not change, but the content of that phase will now reflect the priorities outlined above.
A revised Phase 1 can therefore be summarised as follows:
A. Within the Harbour:
- Repair and refurbishment of the East and North Quay Harbour Walls;
- Creation of the new Fishing and Commercial Harbour, together with the necessary access and slipway facilities to support the operation of Wave Hub and the fishing fleet;
- Dredging of the Harbour area to facilitate the ability to provide the new Harbour, together with the basis for establishing the proposed marina subsequently; and
- Reinstatement of the historic sluicing regime to support operations within the harbour.
B. Infrastructure to Support Wave Hub
- Construction of the new bridge onto North Quay;
- Construction of the new spine access road along North Quay and beyond, providing access to both Wave Hub itself and the new harbour and associated facilities;
- Consequent flood defences (including the new North Quay promenade, an essential component of the key “link to the Beach”) and physical uplift of land on North Quay to ensure Environment Agency standards are met;
- Creation of the basis to develop a “Wave Hub” Industrial and business park on land adjoining the New Harbour; and
- Provision of a Hilltop car park to serve in part the Wave Hub business park, to provide winter boat storage for the marina and to provide broader parking for the regeneration proposals.
C. Commencing the Development Process
- Closely allied to the two categories above will be the provision of a fishermen’s support building, a new Harbour Office and yard space to serve both Wave Hub and the fishing fleet;
- Provision of roads and services to Hilltop and to commence the process of developing Riviere Fields; and
- Elements of residential (and supporting commercial) development on North Quay, Hilltop and Riviere Fields.
Thereafter, phasing may well have to be adjusted to reflect changing market circumstances, but the broad approach is as follows:
Phase 2 will see a completion of infrastructure provision to serve Riviere Fields, further residential development on North Quay and Hilltop, the initial establishment of the marina together with provision of a sailing and watersports facility and the commencement of development of the Wave Hub business park under the auspices of SWRDA.
Phase 3 is likely to see the completion of residential development on the northern side of the Harbour, together with completion of the Wave Hub business park.
Phase 4 will see work and emphasis shift from North to South, with the development of South and East Quays, along with associated works and infrastructure provision.
It can therefore be seen that the main consequence of the delivery emphasis sought by the public agencies is to defer to later in the proposals the development of the land closest to Hayle Town Centre, including South Quay. It should be noted that if market circumstances change, ING will review this phasing approach, particularly in relation to South Quay.
