Plans submitted for 140 houses a mile from Penzance. The project includes play areas, orchards, and diverse housing options.
The plans include a play area for kids and grow plots. Community orchards are even in the mix.
Grass Roots Planning submitted the application, acting for Jeremy Campling. The land is north of the A3071, at Castle Horneck, Penzance.
The plan includes diverse homes to suit different people, considering various ages and lifestyles. Some houses could be self-built too.
Affordable housing is part of the proposal, including both rented and shared ownership options. Specifics are yet to be decided, and the council will help determine these details.
Further design details will come later in the reserved matters stage. Those details involve affordable homes.
Penzance centre is about 1.2 miles east, and Newlyn is 1.1 miles southeast of the site. The site has six fields, and the A30 and A3071 are nearby. There’s also a youth hostel at Castle Horneck.
The project might affect a nearby historical site called Lesingey Round. This is a small, old enclosure, dating back to the Iron Age.
