Summary of The Roseland Plan

AREA
The Plan area is a cluster of 5 parishes: Gerrans, Philleigh, Ruan Lanihorne, St just in Roseland and Veryan, forming a remote peninsula on the south cost of Cornwall.The main villages are St Mawes, Veryan and St Just in Roseland, with other smaller hamlets and sparse rural farms. Coastal areas are designated as AONB and the landscape is highly valued. According to the 2011 census, the usual resident population is around 3,200, the number of dwellings in the area is approximately 2,380 and the proportion of dwellings listed with 'no usual residents' is over 40% in some parishes is very high.
NDP VISION AND OBJECTIVES
The vision for the future of the Roseland is:'Conserving and Enhancing the Roseland's Character and Distinctiveness for a Sustainable Future.'
The Plan's vision has been developed through community consultation and evidence gathering. The value placed on teh landscape is a core element of the Plan - to celebrate the beauty and uniqueness of the area, but also to secure the future of the Roseland, retaining the quality of life and the current level and type of employment alongside encouraging new opportunities for growth in ways that do not undermine the character and distinctiveness that are the basis of the economy. This will be achieved by:
KEY THEMES
Housing
The priority is to deliver affordable housing for local people, preferably without the necessity of building open market housing. The cross subsidy model previously used has resulted in an increase in second homes and holiday lets, which threatens the ability to maintain a sustainable community. The strategy for housing delivery on the Roseland is:
Landscape
With support from the AONB unit and Cornwall council Landscape Officers, a Local Landscape Character Assessment has been carried out and parish character assessments have been produced to be used in conjunction with a Development Management Toolkit to ensure that proposed development is assessed, taking into account the special features and character of the landscape.The community want to see rigorous application of the AONB Management plan and have incorporated key elements of it into its Neighbourhood Plan policies.
Renewables
The approach is to promote energy need reduction before providing new energy sources. This draws on experience from AONBs elsewhere in the Country.The approach also supports renewable technology that has a light impact on the character of the Roseland:

This will be achieved by:
- Re-use of current buildings and infilling rather than greenfield development;
- Encouraging small scale, landscape-friendly job creation;
- Taking a design led approach to ensure that future development enhances character and distinctiveness;
- Protecting Open Spaces;
- Avoiding loss of local services and supporting sustainable Transport;
- Supporting sensitive economic growth; and
- Prioritising the building of affordable housing to meet local needs.
KEY THEMES
Housing
The priority is to deliver affordable housing for local people, preferably without the necessity of building open market housing. The cross subsidy model previously used has resulted in an increase in second homes and holiday lets, which threatens the ability to maintain a sustainable community. The strategy for housing delivery on the Roseland is:
- New building within settlement boundaries of named settlements;
- Priortising conversion of redundant/disused sites and reuse of brownfield sites;
- Allowing change of use of tourist accommodation to affordable housing; and
- Imposing a full time principal residence requirement on open market housing.
Landscape
With support from the AONB unit and Cornwall council Landscape Officers, a Local Landscape Character Assessment has been carried out and parish character assessments have been produced to be used in conjunction with a Development Management Toolkit to ensure that proposed development is assessed, taking into account the special features and character of the landscape.The community want to see rigorous application of the AONB Management plan and have incorporated key elements of it into its Neighbourhood Plan policies.
Renewables
The approach is to promote energy need reduction before providing new energy sources. This draws on experience from AONBs elsewhere in the Country.The approach also supports renewable technology that has a light impact on the character of the Roseland:
- Promoting energy need reduction on the Roseland to help the area achieve its objectives;
- Encouraging 'hidden' technologies to preserve the character and appearance of the area; and
- Setting out criteria to ensure that the impact of turbines is minimised.
