Penzance Town Council will be holding an extraordinary planning committee meeting tomorrow (Tuesday, February 7) to discuss the application to build 320 new homes, roads, accesses and other associated developments on land at Trannack Farm, Heamoor.

The meeting will take place in the main room at St John’s Hall at 7pm.

It will be a public meeting and so it will be open to everyone to attend.

The council are expecting a significant turn-out and anyone who would like to speak during the the meeting should email [email protected] by 9am on the day of the meeting.

The planned Trannack Farm development on land owned by Bolitho Estates has caused a lot of controversy and some residents have been lobbing hard for the plan by Devonshire Homes to be rejected. Save Heamoor from Excess Development argue the development would overload ‘already struggling infrastructure’.

Devonshire Homes say the homes, on land overlooking St Michael’s Mount, will meet local needs and that 96 of the 320 of them will be affordable and have promised that 75 per cent of the site will be retained for extensive green and blue infrastructure including open spaces, grazing, an orchard and allotments.

Although the development is going before Penzance Council planners, the final say will be made by Cornwall Council.
