Plans submitted for 35 affordable homes in hamlet

A proposal has been lodged for 35 affordable homes to be built in a Cornish hamlet.

The plans have been submitted by Coastline Housing in an area between Camborne and Hayle "that has a housing need of 133 dwellings".

The application is for a combination of flats, bungalows, and two to four-bedroom houses off Relistian Park in Reawla.

It comes a week after Coastline Housing applied to build 42 affordable homes and a 20-space community car park in Lanner, near Redruth.

The site is surrounded by residential development to the west and open fields to the east, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) said.

The plans include a parking space for each one-bed property and two spaces for each home with two bedrooms.

Secured and covered cycle storage would be provided within proposed sheds in the private gardens.

If approved, each home would have a lawn and a 1.8m (5.9ft) paved patio, the LDRS said.

In a planning statement, the applicants said: "To further enhance biodiversity, a green space with native planting and a diverse mix of species will be introduced to extend habitat availability throughout the seasons.

"New hedgerows along site boundaries will establish green corridors, supporting foraging and movement for a range of species."
