North Cornwall Village Could Receive Innovative Housing Scheme Inspired by Nansledan
CG Fry and Son, a prominent developer in the South West, has submitted a planning application to Cornwall Council for a new housing development in the village of Pityme, near Rock. The proposal aims to create 49 homes on a 2.98-hectare site south of Trewiston Lane, drawing inspiration from the successful Nansledan project in Newquay.
Affordable and Market Homes Planned for Pityme
The development includes 25 affordable dwellings, which will be owned and managed by a housing association, addressing local housing needs. The remaining units will be market homes, contributing to a mix of housing options. A total of 102 parking spaces are proposed, averaging more than two per home, with additional allowance for visitor parking to ensure convenience for residents and guests.
Sustainable Design and Eco-Friendly Features
All new homes in the scheme are designed to incorporate heat pumps, leveraging environmental heat to achieve system efficiencies of 250 per cent or above. This eco-friendly approach aligns with modern sustainability standards and reduces energy costs for homeowners. The development also includes highways improvements, landscaping, public open space, and associated infrastructure to enhance the local area.
Architectural Principles from Poundbury and Nansledan
CG Fry and Son, currently partnering with the Duchy of Cornwall on the Nansledan development, has stated that the Pityme scheme follows architectural and urban design principles used in historic towns and cities, as well as in contemporary projects like Poundbury and Nansledan. The company emphasizes its commitment to delivering a high-quality development that meets significant local demand for both affordable and market housing.
