If approved, the development would see land being gifted through a Section 106 agreement to the community for an on-site primary school, a new medical centre with dental provision and a sports pitch.

The scheme will also incorporate public open space and fully equipped play areas.

All properties will be zero carbon-ready, equipped with sustainable features such as air source heat pumps, solar panels, and electric vehicle charging points.

The scheme would also ringfence 30% of the properties for a housing association.

Andy Hill, managing director at Persimmon Homes Cornwall & West Devon, commented: “I am really pleased that this application will deliver more than just the homes that Wadebridge needs but also some much-valued local infrastructure.

“Whether it be a medical centre and sports provision for the town or housing association properties and land for a school on-site, this application aims to bring a whole suite of benefits to the area, as well as ecological enhancements and utilise outdoor space.

“With a range of house types, sizes, and tenure, this integrated and sustainable residential community will have a responsive design and sympathetic relationship to the existing settlement, all to the benefits of current and new residents.

“We look forward to working with councillors, residents, and planners to bring to life the vision of Wadebridge’s role as a strategic growth town, as it has been designated in the Local Plan.”
