PLANS have been submitted to demolish a storage building in Newquay and construct flexible accommodation suitable for a range of small-scale storage, workshop, and light industrial uses.

The scheme involves knocking down the unit on land south east of Trencreek and building four small-scale commercial units.

Lisa Scolley Consultancy, on behalf of applicant Hautot Developments Ltd, in the planning statement, said: “The proposal comprises a single block of four light industrial/storage units arranged within a linear building footprint measuring approximately 31.54 metres in length and 12.09 metres in width.

“The building would feature a mono-pitch roof, with a height ranging from approximately 2.28 metres to 3.57 metres, ensuring a modest and functional form appropriate to its light industrial and storage use.

“Each unit would provide approximately 86.3 square metres of internal floorspace, resulting in a total floorspace of approximately 345.2 square metres.

“The units are designed to provide flexible accommodation suitable for a range of small-scale storage, workshop, and light industrial uses.

“The building would be finished in vertical cladding, with a corrugated roof covering, reflecting a simple, utilitarian design approach typical of small-scale industrial and storage buildings.

“This ensures the development remains visually appropriate to its commercial context and reduces visual prominence within the surrounding area.

“Each unit benefits from an individual vehicular access door and dedicated parking/service area located immediately adjacent to the building frontage, allowing for convenient loading, unloading, and operational use.

“The arrangement also allows vehicles to manoeuvre within the site and exit in a forward gear, supporting safe and efficient operation.

“The overall design adopts a simple, low-profile form, ensuring the development integrates appropriately within the site while providing flexible employment accommodation to support local businesses.

“Access to the proposed dwellings would be via Trencreek Lane, to the west, which itself is off Trencreek Road.”
