In December 2021 the Council’s Strategic Planning Committee unanimously approved the hybrid planning application for the Langarth GV scheme. Outline planning permission for the Garden Village and full planning permission for Fordh Langarth (the main road through the development previously known as the Northern Access Road) was formally granted in April 2022.
Following the granting of planning permission , the focus has moved on to delivering the scheme. This delivery phase of the project is being led by Treveth working in partnership with Cornwall Council.
Work has also been taking place to develop the ‘reserved matters’ applications for the Garden Village scheme. These deal with the appearance, means of access, landscaping, and scale of the development.
The first reserved matters application – seeking detailed planning consent for around 35 acres of natural green space and over 6km of walking and cycling routes at Governs Park – was submitted to the Council as Planning Authority in July 2022 following public consultation.
The reserved matters application for the first phase of the Garden Village is due to be submitted to the Council at the end of March 2023 . This will include a mix of housing and commercial activities, together with a community hall, a transport hub, flexible offices and a café.
