Strong early demand is
anticipated for new homes to be built by Poltair Homes at Cubert, near Newquay,
following the successful conclusion of a long and complex planning saga. The
planning breakthrough, along with the stunningly attractive location, make this
a genuine rare opportunity to buy high quality homes on one of Cornwall’s most
beautiful coastal stretches.
To be known as Penvearn View, 41 high quality dwellings will be built on the
edge of the village and boast outstanding views across the sand dunes adjacent
to Perranporth’s beaches and beyond to Holywell Bay.
Work will start shortly on the new development, with completion scheduled for
the autumn of 2003. The new homes will be built on the site of the former
Penvearn Holiday Park, where the existing chalets and flats will first be
demolished.
The site’s long and complex planning history failed to deter Poltair Homes in
their pursuit of the project, as director Paul Stephens commented: "We have
tried to meet all current Government planning policies, as interpreted by
Carrick District Council, and we are confident that the result will meet the
needs and interests of existing and future villagers".
"We expect the quality of these homes and their location to prove particularly
popular, given the outstanding views and close proximity to the beaches and
other coastal and country pursuits."
As one local resident put it: "The great thing about Cubert is that you can just
step outside your door and virtually straightaway you are onto footpaths leading
to the coast. You can walk to Crantock or Perranporth via the coast path or go
inland."

As well as its own
strikingly attractive location, Cubert is also handily placed for many of
Cornwall’s other top attractions and facilities. Talk about spoilt for beaching
choice! Cubert lies two miles north of Perranporth, which offers three miles of
golden sands, while Newquay, with "Europe’s finest" surfing beaches, is just
five miles in the other direction - with Holywell Bay in between for good
measure!

Truro, the County Seat and one of
the South West’s premier shopping centres, is 13 miles to the east of Cubert,
and within a five-mile radius of the village are three of Cornwall’s top visitor
attractions - Trerice (National Trust), Lappa Valley Steam Railway and Dairyland
Farm World.
Trerice is a delightful small Elizabethan manor house, an architectural gem
hidden away from the world in a web of narrow lanes. Its gardens are notable for
their unusual content and layout. At Lappa Valley, a recent addition to the
steam trains and other attractions is a nine hole golf course created on the
site of a former Cornish silver lead mine.
"Life on the farm" doesn’t get much better - or at least not as fascinating and
entertaining -as at Dairyland Farm World, which is described as Britain’s first,
biggest and best farm park.

Penvearn View at Cubert is a
particularly interesting project, given the re-use of a former holiday park and
in the light of increasing pressures and concerns about the environment. The
latter has prompted Government policy that now very much encourages the re-use
of previously developed land (brownfield) rather than building on greenfield
land.
The policy also encourages more economic use of land, which presents the
designers and developers with a number of challenges to create interesting and
innovative site layouts making varied use of density and form. Certainly, this
approach means the days of boring straight rows of similar size detached
properties are long gone.
The Penvearn site has magnificent views across the dunes of Penhale sands
towards the sea and the site’s gently sloping nature means that most of the
principal properties can take advantage of this.
The site is laid out in a form to reflect the vernacular village format with the
main Street leading through a small village square and then opening up into a
less formal arrangement of individual properties at the lower end of the site.
The overall effect is intended to provide spacious family houses, whilst at the
same time maintaining a comfortable quality village environment.
Architects for Penvearn View are the Trewin Design Partnership, of Holsworthy,
who have been established for over 30 years and are now one of the largest
rurally based architectural practices in the South West. Its partners, David
Savage, AIf and James Trewin, are all Cornishmen and at least 50% of their
workload is for projects in the county. The quality of their work has been
recognised with a growing list of prestigious awards.
