Description
An exciting opportunity to acquire a fully approved 28-unit development with 100% affordable housing – ready to deliver. Prime Launceston location near town and A30. Strong local housing demand & council support. Attractive design with open space and orchard.
An exciting opportunity to acquire a fully consented residential development site for twenty-eight new dwellings, all approved as 100% affordable housing. The scheme provides a mix of one, two and three-bedroom homes, set within attractively landscaped surroundings including a community orchard and public open space.
The site occupies a superb position on the southern fringe of Launceston, close to Tavistock Road and within walking distance of town amenities, schools and public transport.
The consented development comprises:
28 dwellings (100% affordable)
70% Affordable/Social Rent
30% Shared Ownership
House types include:
1-bed apartments
2-bed semi-detached houses
3-bed terraced and semi-detached houses
The layout incorporates extensive open space, sustainable drainage features and pedestrian links to Tavistock Road. Building designs use natural materials including timber cladding, slate roofs, and green roof elements, reflecting the surrounding Cornish landscape. A Sustainable Urban Drainage System with on-site attenuation improves the existing surface water management, and a foul water pumping station connects to the mains network.
