Design and construction of the infrastructure for approximately 500 dwellings, with major retail and leisure facilities, on the 1 km long beach at Carlyon Bay, St Austell.

Design and construction of the infrastructure for approximately 500 dwellings, with major retail and leisure facilities, on the 1 km long beach at Carlyon Bay, St Austell.

The work entails detailed wave and beach studies and the design of a rock armour defence, supplemented by beach replenishment in front of a re-curve sea wall to protect the development and to maintain the beach as an amenity. An existing major river and mine waste water issues are to be channelled out to sea, through the development and the sea defences. Surface water drainage will utilise Sustainable Urban Drainage System principles combining infiltration with flows into the river. A full flood risk assessment has been submitted to the Environment Agency to satisfy their requirements on these matters.

The foul drainage system is designed to utilise three pumping stations to minimise excavations and incorporates off line storage to cater for pump or power failures.

An extensive access and internal road system, incorporating home zone and other traffic control measures and porous paving drainage is to be provided within the site.

The cliff behind the development is an environmentally sensitive area, but suffers from major instabilities in some locations. A system of building extension zones and low key stabilisation and protection works have been designed to minimise environmental impacts while providing safe access around the development site.

We are preparing details for presentation at the November Public Enquiry.
