LAND WEST OF TRECERUS FARM, PADSTOW

OUR DEVELOPMENT

In March 2022, after consulting the local community, we submitted an outline planning application (PA22/03102) to Cornwall Council for a mixed-use development on the site outlined in red (below left). Our proposals were for up to 28 new homes and a care home (which would provide care and nursing facilities with up to 80 bedrooms). In December 2022, Cornwall Council granted permission which means that the principle of development on this site is now established. The consented outline masterplan is below right.

Our next step will be to submit a reserved matters application. This sets out the details of appearance, landscaping, layout and scale – in other words, what the scheme would actually look like.

At this stage, we are only planning to submit proposals for the 28 new homes – a reserved matters application for the care home will be brought forward at a later stage, most likely by the operator of the facility.

We held a public consultation from 22nd August to 15th September 2023, as we were keen to hear what local residents think of our proposals. The plans can be viewed here. If you would prefer to receive a hard copy, please contact us by phone or email (details available on the Contact page) and we will send them to you.

While the consultation period is now closed, you can still contact us at consultation@bakerestatesltd.co.uk.

OUR PROPOSALS

We are proposing a high-quality residential development of 28 new homes. This includes:

• 40% (11 properties) affordable housing, of which 70% would be affordable rent and 30% shared ownership.

• 71% of the homes will be bungalows, in keeping with the local area while also meeting local needs and limiting landscape impact.

• A third of the homes will be accessible and adaptable (M4(2) compliant), suitable not just for disabled people but a wide range of occupants including older people, those with reduced mobility and some wheelchair users.

• the homes will be a maximum of two-storeys in height.

• lower density and lowest storey heights to the west, abutting the B3276.

• the open market housing will be occupied as a principal residence, in accordance with the Padstow Parish Neighbourhood Plan.

In addition to the new homes, there will be:

• vehicular access from the A389.

• a footpath / cycle link to the new development immediately to the north.

• green open space with a local area of play to provide an attractive gateway to Padstow and backdrop to the development, as well as useful amenity space for residents. 

• parking levels that meet the requirements of Cornwall Council and achieve a minimum of two spaces per house.

• an attenuation pond in the north east corner as part of a sustainable drainage system.
