Cornwall Council Cabinet Members have approved the building of a new sports and community facility at the heart of Langarth Garden Village.
The plans will see the land formerly earmarked for the Stadium for Cornwall allocated for the construction of a new Community Sports Hub. Located at the edge of the Park and Ride, the Hub will provide a long term home for Truro City Football Club (TCFC), as well as facilities for use by residents of the Garden Village, Threemilestone Football Club and other sports clubs in Cornwall.
Planning permission for the Sports Hub was approved by the Council in February 2024. Construction of the main pitch and the temporary buildings required to enable Truro City to use the pitch for the start of the 2024/25 football season, subject to FA approval, are due to be completed by the end of the current season.
In the meantime, work is continuing to secure the funding needed for the community pitch which is expected to be provided in 2025. The full sized floodlit artificial pitch will provide all-weather and all year-round training and playing facilities for local teams and organisations. These will include future residents of the Garden Village as well as the communities of Threemilestone and Truro and potentially wider.
The club house and community hub will require a separate later planning application.
