Cornwall Land Protection • Stakeholder master pack

Who this evidence goes to

A single public directory of the agencies, regulators, councillors, wildlife and heritage organisations, oversight bodies and funders relevant to the Troon, Carwynnen and Camborne mining landscape. Logos are shown for identification only and do not imply endorsement or involvement.

Formal-recipient principle

Send evidence to the body with the statutory function. Copy support and interest groups separately — charities are not regulators.

Local-government correction

Troon sits within Camborne Town Council (Troon Ward). The Cornwall Council division is Four Lanes, Beacon & Troon. Truro City Council is not the site's local town council.

4 — Evidence discipline

Before you serve anything

Distinguish observed fact, test result, expert opinion, inference and allegation. Preserve originals, dates, coordinates, chain of custody and laboratory certificates.

  1. 01State the precise location, coordinates, dates and times, and the affected receptors (property, water point, stream, woodland, species site, mine feature).
  2. 02Attach only relevant evidence, with an indexed exhibit list.
  3. 03Preserve original photograph and video metadata and unedited source files.
  4. 04Keep water and soil sample chain-of-custody, sampling method, laboratory accreditation and limits of detection.
  5. 05Separate historic baseline information from current observations.
  6. 06Do not describe causation as established unless supported by competent expert evidence.
  7. 07Ask each statutory body for a reference number, lead officer or team, jurisdiction decision and next action.
  8. 08Maintain a master contact log with date sent, acknowledgement, reference number, response deadline and escalation date.
