Wainhomes Residential Development – Treligga Downs Road, Delabole
Notes Relating to the Proposal
Wainhomes is proposing a residential development of approx. 65 homes, including: 2-4 bed open market dwellings; 2-3
bed affordable dwellings for local people; and a number of accessible bungalows. Originally these accessible bungalows
were proposed as age-restricted but from feedback there are some in the community that require these below the age
threshold, including residents with disabilities.
The aim of the scheme is to address local need. In order to achieve this aim we have included provision for:
- Affordable homes for local people;
- Land set aside for the Parish Council to be used for community use;
- A 20 space car park that could be used for school drop off / pick up, future residents & visitors;
- An education contribution towards the expansion of the primary school; and
- Further S106 contributions to be discussed with Cornwall Council and the Parish Council.
Two key considerations which has led the design process from the beginning has been the traffic and the primary school.
To ensure that the scheme would not have an overly detrimental effect on the village Wainhomes have been working
with our Highways Consultants; whose technical input has assured that the design of the current scheme would not have
a major impact on the existing roads. In relation to the primary school, Wainhomes have worked closely with Aspire
Academy Trust to ensure all necessary contributions would be in place for the Trust’s plans to expand Delabole Primary
School.
Notes Relating to the Public Consultation (28 th & 29 th April)
We were really pleased with the amount of involvement of residents and representatives in our event. We had 86 people
sign our register, including representatives of: the local community; the Parish Council; Cornwall Council; Cornwall Rural
Housing Association; and the Aspire Academy Trust. Due to the high number of people engaging with the event, we
were unable to keep an accurate record of attendees but anticipate that over 100 people attended over the two day
consultation.
We will be going through all the feedback provided at the consultation in the next week or two, and we look forward to
the additional feedback we receive from the forthcoming publication. Once we have collated this information Wainhomes
will provide a summary of the feedback to the Parish Council and any interested members of the community.
