Our brief was to work within the framework of the existing approved Reserved Matters application to develop an enhanced scheme which delivers higher quality place making, better delineation of public and private spaces and a distinctive ‘Cornish’ architectural identity.

The work was undertaken to a tight timescale to facilitate the purchase of one third of the proposed dwellings by Cornwall Council for their housing delivery programme.
