Newquay Station Quarter will be a dynamic, high density mixed-use commercial and residential quarter anchored around a multi-modal transport hub. The transformational £56m Mid Cornwall Metro scheme has delivered new rail infrastructure and enabled enhanced rail services, which will lead to a much-anticipated boost in economic activity in Newquay. This has bought forward long-standing local ambitions to regenerate the area around Newquay station. Cornwall Council is looking to work with partners to deliver a first phase of regeneration to create a vibrant Station Quarter for Newquay that will boost the High Street economy and provide high quality residential and commercial property to meet local needs. Cornwall Council are leading on the next phase of the feasibility work for the site, which will progress the vision for an initial phase of mixed-use development; de-risk the scheme from a planning and delivery perspective; and position this exciting opportunity for developer market engagement.
