The third and fourth phases of a development of new homes next to the Penventon Hotel in Redruth have been revealed.

Planning permission was previously granted for up to 91 homes on the site and since then the development has been delivered in stages.

In the latest planning application Little Vauxhall is seeking permission for 26 affordable houses and six open market properties. Documents explain that the number of affordable homes provided on the site has increased since the original plans were agreed.

A design and access statement says that the original permission required 20 affordable homes to be provided.

However, the first two phases have already delivered 51 affordable homes and the third phase will provide another 26.

The document states: “This is a response to an identified shortfall in the availability of affordable housing in the area, and the developer has already identified a potential housing association provider who have input into the design of the scheme to help provide the types of properties that are in highest demand.”
