VISIT TO CARADON OBSERVATORY – TUESDAY 30 TH OCTOBER 2018

A visit to the Caradon Observatory has been arranged on Tuesday 30 th October, courtesy of thefounder Ken Bennett, meeting there for 7.30 pm. Many of you will have attended our AGM in 2015 to hear a most interesting talk given by DrWayne Thomas on the proposed Dark Sky Status for Bodmin Moor. Subsequently the Societyformally supported the application which was led by Mr Bennett and Dr Thomas and this wasachieved in 2017. Dr Thomas and a colleague Mike Willmott will be on hand to conduct proceedings on 30 th October,when our hope is for a cloudless sky. The size of this group visit is limited to 18. Members who are interested should complete the formthat is enclosed with this newsletter and places will be allocated on the basis of those who are firstto reply. It will be seen that all must sign a disclaimer saying they are attending at their own risk andwaiving the right to sue in the event of an accident. The Observatory is a private institutioninsisting on such because it has no public liability insurance.

PLANNING

Wind and Solar: Dairy Crest are progressing plans for a 5MW solar installation on land surrounding the dairy. No formal application has yet been made so plans will be viewed withinterest when it is.The judicial wrangling over the Week St. Mary windfarm application has finally been resolved.The High Court decided that the review of the review, of the review, of the review will not beallowed. The refusal of the application therefore stands.

Housing: The Wadebridge housing applications - Gonvena, Football Field, Bodieve/BallRoundabout - have yet to be decided.A pre-application has been submitted for advice on the return of the Church Park application atSladesbridge (dubbed “Wadebridge New Town”).

Apart from these there is very little of any significance to report from other areas.

As always, please tell us if there is any application in your village or Parish that you have concernsabout.

THE MILESTONE SOCIETY

We have recently contributed towards the restoration of 2 significant milestones being undertakenby The Milestone Society.The first is a Grade II listed Capped Granite Guide Stone at SX057721 Hellandbridge turn onB3266 near St Mabyn known as the “Famous Milestone”.The project is to replace the broken column and to relocate the stone approximately 10m furthernorth in a safer position.Planning consent for the change to a listed building was obtained in March 2018 and themanufacture of the replica octagonal granite pillar has been placed in the hands of De Lank Quarryat St Breward.The second stands a short distance from the “Famous Milestone” and is known as the “HeadlessGuidestone”. It is a similar capped guidestone with an intact pillar but with a missing capstone.This stands at grid reference SX068699 at Penhargard on the old St Mabyn to Bodmin road. Theoriginal capstone disappeared in 1991. Fortunately, the Milestone Society has photographic recordsof the missing capstone and an order for the manufacture of a replica has been placed with CF Piper& Son at Beara Torr Quarry. Cormac will install both guidestones when repairs are completed.Hopefully some photos of the completed stones will be available for the next newsletter.
