Welcome to the Par Beach and Dunes Spatial Concept engagement page.

Here you can find out about the Making Space for Sand funded project to develop a vision for Par Beach and Dunes that will place natural processes and the ecosystem services they provide at the heart of creating a more resilient space for people in a future that will be influenced by the impacts of climate change.

The spatial concept will present a outline of opportunities to help maximise use of site for people and nature across the site. It is being developed by The Environment Partnership on behalf of Cornwall Council and will be informed by public and stakeholder feedback, with consultation taking place between October and December 2024.

The spatial concept will not be a fixed plan, but will present a vision for how opportunities for nature-based solutions and social/economic site functions can be mutually integrated an can be delivered across the site. The plan is expected to be completed in early 2025 and lead to practical steps that are well informed by public feedback.

Meanwhile, an ongoing scheme of invasive species treatment on the dunes will also be part funded by Making Space for Sand.

The Making Space for Sand project is funded by Defra. The funding is managed by the Environment Agency through their Flood and Coastal Resilience Innovation Programme (FCRIP).

    On Wednesday 18th December representatives from The Environment Partnership,who are developing the concept plan for Par on behalf of Cornwall Council, held a public consultation day at Par Beach Cafe.

    It was well attended, and feedback was sought on a range of opportunities for a spatial layout of the area that provides space for dune growth whilst also facilitating and benefitting the ongoing use of the site by people.

    Initial ideas, which incorporate public feedback from an earlier on-line survey, were presented on large posters for people to provide feedback by colour-codes dots and sticky notes.

    The posters are available in the documents bar of this website.

    The concept plan will be finalised in the new year, with the hope to make it available to the public before the end of March 2025.
