1. Introduction This report is a document produced by Cornwall Council’s Natural Resources Team. It relates to a site visit to monitor compliance with a planning permission and legal agreement for a minerals / waste site under relevant requirements of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.1 Disclaimer It should be noted that apparent compliance with any condition at the time of a site monitoring visit by this Authority does not preclude the Authority from instigating enforcement action where any activity being undertaken is subsequently considered to be in breach of a condition or presents a risk of damage or disturbance to the environment or amenity. Any additional site monitoring visit required as a result of non-compliance with a planning condition may result in an additional site monitoring fee being levied. Traffic Lights For ease of reference the Authority has adopted a ‘traffic light’ system to illustrate the level of compliance with each requisite planning condition. The colour coding is based on the following criteria;

Green development was considered to be compliant with the relevant planning condition at the time of the site monitoring visit although some minor works may be required.

Amber development was not considered to be compliant with the condition at the time of the site monitoring visit and/or there are outstanding matters which remain to be

resolved at this time by the operator or this Authority. Any continued non- compliance or breach of this condition may result in the instigation of enforcement action.

Red development was not considered to be compliant with the condition at the time of the site monitoring visit. Furthermore it is considered that there is an urgent need to

remedy this breach due to the potential risk and/or consequences to the environment or amenity. It is therefore concluded that steps should be undertaken without further delay to remedy this breach. Appropriate enforcement action is likely to be expedient should non-compliance with this condition continue. 1 The Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications and Deemed Applications) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2006 came into force on 6th April 2006. These Regulations are made under Section 303 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as amended by Section 53 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

Condition Number and Description Condition 1. Time Limits

Except where it is provided otherwise in the conditions of the original permission, the Mining Operations to which these permissions relate shall cease after 21st February 2042 unless planning permission is granted for the continuation of operations beyond that date. Unless further permission has been granted for a continuation of operations beyond this period the site shall be reclaimed in accordance with the Restoration Conditions and Aftercare Conditions approved for the Operational Areas by 21st February 2047. Notes Following Visit This condition is post dated until 21st February 2042. The operator has made a detailed submission in respect of the Review of Mineral Planning Permissions (ROMPs) and the Mineral Planning Authority has raised a number of issues and the operator has responded to these issues. Following the consideration of this response by the Mineral Planning Authority a revised Review of Mineral Planning Permissions submission is currently scheduled to be made by 30th September 2009. This submission is now overdue and the Mineral Planning Authority should therefore consider the response made by Imerys Minerals (UK) Limited in order to facilitate the submission of a revised Review of Mineral Planning Permissions submission.

Condition Number and Description Condition 2. The Extent of the Permissions

The development to which these Permissions relate shall be limited to the areas shown on the approved plan (the application Plan Drawing No. G/4/1/102) (the site). Notes Following Visit All operations appear to be within the approved area identified on drawing No. G/4/1/102 and the additional areas as subsequently approved. Mineral extraction or processing activities have not advanced into any new areas since the previous site visit (13th November 2009).

Some additional activities are being undertaken but express planning permission (Melbur Blockworks) exists for such activity.

Condition Number and Description Condition 4. Working Programme

The Mining Operations and the Restoration and Aftercare of the site shall be carried out in accordance with any existing conditions imposed upon the original planning permissions in addition to the supplementary conditions of this determination until such time as Schemes of Working, Site Access and Conditions have been approved by the MPA for the Operational Areas and the LongTerm Working Areas, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the MPA. The working programme for the Operational Areas may be comprised in a series of phases of not less than seven years. A Scheme of Working, Site Accesses and Conditions for each area shall be submitted for approval to the MPA in accordance with Conditions 5(a), (b) and (c). Following the approval by the MPA of a Scheme of Working, Site Access, and Conditions, the Mining Operations and the Restoration and Aftercare shall be carried out strictly in accordance with the Scheme unless otherwise approved in

writing by the MPA.

Notes Following Visit There are numerous historical planning permissions which apply to various parts of the Fal Operational Area. The area has a long and complex planning history. A scheme of working was submitted to the Mineral Planning Authority by the operator in 2005. It may be worthwhile reviewing this scheme in light of the impact of the dry mining plant which became fully operational in 2007.

All trees, hedges and associated vegetation on and immediately adjoining the site shall be protected from damage for the duration of the works on the site, and in the case of trees until at least 5 years following completion of the approved development. In the event that any trees become damaged or otherwise affected during such period, the MPA shall be notified forthwith and a programme of remedial action shall be submitted for written approval and thereafter implemented as approved. Any trees/hedges/vegetation removed without the authority of the MPA or which die or

become, in the opinion of the MPA, seriously diseased or otherwise damaged as a result of the approved operations in the 5 years following completion of the approved development, shall be replaced as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any case not later than the end of the first available planting season, with trees/plants of such size, species and in such locations as may be approved by the MPA.

Condition 26. Limits on tipping of final levels

At no time shall the height of tipping (including any surcharging during tip construction) exceed the levels on the approved final contour level shown on Drawing No. SCR 35, except as may otherwise be agreed in writing with the MPA. As the operation approaches final fill levels and in any case before the final grading of cover and before the spreading of restoration soils, the surface levels shall be checked by competent surveyors and their findings shall be submitted to the MPA. Thereupon, markers shall be erected to indicate the approved final fill levels and approved restored surface levels. Notes Following Visit Some areas of the Scarcewater Tip are currently being profiled in preparation for topsoiling. Imerys Minerals (UK) Limited will submit a drawing, showing surface levels, to the Mineral Planning Authority prior to the area being topsoiled

Condition Number and Description Condition 27. Hedge creation

All new Cornish hedges shall be constructed in accordance with details to be agreed in writing with the MPA. These details shall include height, width, construction materials and planting. All hedges constructed shall be maintained. Notes Following Visit The specification for Cornish style hedgerows needs to be prepared by Imerys Minerals (UK) Limited and agreed with the Minerals Planning Authority. While it is likely to be 2011 before any new Cornish style hedgerows are created on the restored Scarcewater Tip the specification for these hedgerows should be agreed with the Mineral planning Authority well in advance of these works. Imerys Minerals (UK) Limited are preparing various specifications for hedge styles and will formally submit these details, and a plan showing where each different hedge specification would be utilised. The topsoil would be removed from below the hedge and hedgelines would, where appropriate, be used as drainage interceptors across contours.

Condition Number and Description Condition 28. Advance planting

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the MPA, the operators shall complete in full the areas identified for advance planting on Drawing Nos. SCR 31 and 32 in the first planting season following the commencement of the temporary operations to develop the site. The planting shall be in accordance with a detailed scheme that shall have been submitted to and been approved in writing by the MPA. The scheme shall detail sizes, species, spacing, ground preparation, provision of fencing and a programme of aftercare. Notes Following Visit The operator confirmed that all of the advance planting shown on Drawing No. W/6/4/221 has been implemented and the respective areas have therefore now entered their five year aftercare.

Condition 29. Restoration

Unless otherwise agreed in writing with the MPA, the site shall be progressively restored to amenity/agricultural use, namely heathland, pasture, woodland and grass/scrub hydroseeding as shown on Drawing No. SCR 310 and detailed in the Environmental Statement, in accordance with a detailed planting schedule and within a timescale to be agreed in writing with the MPA. Restoration, planting and seeding shall take place in the first available season following the staged achievement of the final contours of the tip and the operators shall submit to the MPA for written approval an annual restoration monitoring report in accordance with details to be agreed in writing with the MPA to demonstrate compliance with this condition. Within five years of planting, any trees, shrubs or other plants that die, become diseased, removed or damaged, shall be replaced in the first available planting season with others of a similar size, and species in accordance with the details of the approved scheme unless otherwise agreed in writing with the MPA.

Notes Following Visit The operator advised that restoration planting takes place each season. The first restoration report, covering all restoration works undertaken on the Scarcewater Tip, was submitted by Imerys Minerals (UK) Limited to the Mineral Planning Authority in January 2010. Future reports will now be submitted annually. The Mineral Planning Authority should now acknowledge that the areas of tree planting have now entered their five year aftercare period.


In the event of a cessation of winning and working of minerals at Melbur and Virginia Pits, prior to the achievement of the completion of the approved restoration scheme which, in the opinion of the MPA, constitutes a permanent cessation within the terms of paragraph 3 of Schedule 9 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, a revised scheme to include details of reclamation and aftercare shall be submitted to the MPA for written approval within 12 months of the cessation of winning and working. The approved revised scheme shall be fully implemented within 2 years of the written approval unless otherwise agreed in writing with the MPA. Notes Following Visit The operator advised that restoration planting takes place each season.
