A developer has acquired a site in Cornwall where it plans to build almost 300 new homes.
Warrington-based Salboy has purchased the brownfield site at Tuckingmill near Camborne for an undisclosed sum.
The firm said planning approval is in place for the first phase of 77 homes just south of Pendarves Street, with construction set to begin in the summer.
Salboy is aiming to build a total of 278 homes for the scheme, which was included in regeneration plans for the area which were first submitted to Cornwall Council in 2010.
The development will include a range of two, three and four bedroom properties which will be positioned as starter and family homes. The full unit breakdown is yet to be finalised.
Salboy said the project will be completed in several phases, and aim to deliver a mix of open market and affordable homes, the full details of which the company said would be available soon.
DOMIS, the sister construction company of Salboy, will be the lead contractor on the development and has already started to approach local suppliers and trades.
Simon Ismail, managing director of Salboy said: “We’re very aware of the need for good quality housing in Cornwall and hope this development in Tuckingmill will help to ease some of the pressure on the market as a result of the housing crisis.
