The Church Commissioners for England has secured a resolution to grant planning permission for a new 315-home residential scheme north of Falmouth in Cornwall.
The new community, which will be built on a 13.4-hectare site, will feature a mix of housing types for families, first-time buyers and the elderly – 35% of which will be affordable – and will be supported by a new local centre.
Matthew Naylor, team lead, strategic land at the Church Commissioners for England, said: “Our proposals support the Cornwall Local Plan’s vision for the sensitive growth of Falmouth and are in line with the Archbishop’s Commissions’ vision for sustainable, safe, stable, social and satisfying homes and communities.
“Located near the Penryn River harbour, the new community will support a mix of existing retail and community uses alongside a network of accessible green space.”
