en.Wedoany.com Reported - UK housebuilder Persimmon Homes Cornwall & West Devon has recently submitted an outline planning application to Cornwall Council for a residential development at Latchbrook Farm, Saltash, proposing up to 300 new homes. 30% of the properties are reserved for local housing associations, addressing Cornwall's housing waiting list of over 25,000 households.

Over half of the proposed development site will be retained as green space, featuring active travel routes, play areas, natural play spaces, cycle storage, biodiversity net gain, and wildlife corridors. Land to the immediate north is reserved for a potential school site, with Persimmon providing funding for either a new school opening or improvements to existing facilities. A community center is planned for Treleigh, to be connected upon the completion of a pedestrian and cycle bridge over the A38 road.

Andy Hill, Managing Director of Persimmon Homes Cornwall & West Devon, stated that the company is a local Cornish housebuilder, primarily serving first-time buyers and families. Prior to submitting this application, the company engaged in consultations with Cornwall Council, a Design Review Panel, Saltash Town Council, and the public, and has launched a dedicated website open to the public.

If approved, the development will include community investment, featuring connections to a new footbridge and roundabout for the A38 road, along with new bus stops. Persimmon is also progressing plans for a community center in Treleigh concurrently.
