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.
Housing
Cornwall represents a unique opportunity to invest in a property location primed for growth. Housing projects here will accelerate housing delivery that is focused on sustainability, quality of life, and economic growth.
The Opportunity
Cornwall has the second highest housing target in England, outside of London – 4,400 homes per year, 88,000 over a 20-year period.
Live and pipeline projects throughout Cornwall are available across all forms of housing, from market and affordable housing to older persons’ accommodation and market rented accommodation, to meet the needs of Cornwall’s residents and to support our economic growth.
Focused on progress
Cornwall has a long track record in innovation and we’re not afraid to think big. Accelerating delivery of Cornwall’s housing ambitions is no exception, and the projects that are in the pipeline or in construction demonstrate the scale of the opportunity here.
From the rapidly expanding critical minerals industry to space, offshore wind and other renewables, Cornwall’s economic opportunities need to be underpinned by quality housing.
Projects
Site Opportunities
From large urban extensions, through to small sites on the edge of villages, there are opportunities to support all types of developers, registered providers and institutional investors. The ambitious projects that are in the pipeline or in construction demonstrate the scale of the opportunity here.
Our Ambition
Homes Cornwall
Homes Cornwall is a Cornwall Council initiative to accelerate housing delivery. Its purpose is to release surplus public land and work with trusted private sector partners to deliver new homes for local people.
Our ambition is to create 800 acres of public sector land identified for housing and around 7,000 homes planned, including affordable and market rental.
Proactive planning
In Cornwall we understand the challenges associated with securing planning permission.
So we take a collaborative approach to successfully navigating the planning system. That’s why Cornwall Council has a dedicated Proactive Planning Service for Major Development proposals.
Designed to remove delays, consolidate advice and provide access to a range of information in a timely manner, the hands-on service supports investors in Cornwall to feel confident in their proposals. Whether you want early advice on site opportunities before getting into contract, through to detailed advice during the development of your planning application, Council offers customised services that supports your needs.
