PLANS have been approved to transform a former co-working space overlooking Newquay Bay into office space.

The scheme involves the proposed use of CSpace at the Crescent for offices, including conference facilities and food and beverage services. The plans are to create a new food market area at the front to enhance the “street frontage and contributing to the vibrancy of the public space.”

The scheme includes the addition of a surfers’ store at the rear, two bin stores, and a bike store, while an existing outbuilding will be converted into facilities that include showers and WC provisions. A hot tub is due be installed to enhance the amenities available for users, supporting both relaxation and the wellness aspect of the development.

The innovative C-Space work hub at the Crescent was developed in 2018 on the site of the former Sunnyside Hotel. The building closed in August 2023 due to “unforeseen circumstances” and was put up for sale for a guide price of £1.75m.

CSpace, along with the Tower Road Garage site, was purchased by Oasis Developers.
