We want to make sure that infrastructure is provided early. We used the original figure of 4000 homes in the Housing Investment Fund bid to ensure that we could plan for and build sufficient and appropriate social, utilities and transport infrastructure which is capable of responding to change in the future, not just for the present. The original HIF Funding bid also highlighted land south of A390 and Chacewater Hill. This is outside of the masterplan area.
Now the constraints of the site are better understood this figure has reduced.
Langarth will provide up to 3,800 new homes (3550 homes plus up to 250 student/key worker, extra care and specialist accommodation units), helping to deliver Cornwall’s local plan housing allocation. The masterplan, approved in 2021, will ensure these are well-designed, high-quality housing of the right mix. This includes homes which are adaptable for different stages of life.
. 35% of homes on the site will be affordable for local people. This proportion will be legally binding on developers.
