Penzance residents are invited to view the emerging proposals for the Coinagehall Street redevelopment, meet the team behind it and have their say on draft plans for a key area of the town centre. 

A public consultation event will be held on Monday from 10.30am to 7pm at the Jubilee Pool Café. 

Members of the public can submit their feedback at the event or complete an online questionnaire to Cornish developer Treveth at www.treveth.co.uk/coinagehallstreet

The consultation website and questionnaire will be live from Monday until Friday, June 9. Treveth is aiming to make a planning submission by mid 2023 once the public consultation period has ended.

The Coinagehall Street project includes much-needed new homes for local people, including both affordable and open market rentals, and the regeneration of St Anthony’s Gardens, funded by the Future High Streets Fund as part of the government’s Towns Fund initiative. 

Key historical features will be retained whilst providing a better public realm and useable open space which will be enjoyed by local people and visitors alike.

Martin Tucker, chairman of Penzance Town Deal Board, said: “This prime area of Penzance, which currently includes a run-down field, is looking neglected and it’s a real opportunity to be able to invest some funding to                                                 improve it and offer new housing and commercial spaces. 

“The investment will enable to create a site more aligned with the refurbished Promenade and increase the connection between the town centre and the sea front. We would encourage all members of the community of Penzance to come along and find out more.”

Treveth was founded by Cornwall Council in 2019 to improve the quality of rented accommodation and to increase the availability of homes across the rental, shared ownership, and private rental sectors. 

Treveth now manages 78 properties across three developments and 45 units across six commercial sites, and has over 300 homes currently in build for local residents in Tolgus, Liskeard and Bodmin. It has successfully managed and sold properties transferred from Cornwall Council, including Heathlands View in Bodmin, The Coppers in Tolvaddon and Tregover in Newquay. 

Treveth acquired the site at Coinagehall Street from Cornwall Council under a Subject to Planning Contract in late 2022.
