The Perran Foundry development at Perranarworthal, between Truro and Falmouth, could be completed if an application is approved for a certificate of lawfulness to build 21 more homes.

It is the final parcel requiring completion of the wider Perran Foundry site, which originally received planning permission for a restoration and redevelopment scheme almost 15 years ago.

A planning statement submitted by Treveth, Cornwall Council’s arm’s-length building company, says: “The completion of this important regeneration project would make a modest but significant contribution to meeting local housing needs. Once completed, the vast majority of the units will be available to rent on the open market – significantly boosting the number of units for rent available locally for the resident community to access.”

All units will be provided with a restriction to prevent their use as anything other than a primary residence as per Treveth’s policies, and the lettings strategy will prioritise occupation by local people.”

Permission for the redevelopment of Perran Foundry was granted in 2008 and was subject to several amendments. It is the 2019 permission that Treveth would like to complete.
