Our South West region has purchased land to build 202 energy efficient new homes at Tencreek Farm on the outskirts of Liskeard.
The 10.98 hectare development on Plymouth Road will feature a range of one and two-bedroom apartments and two, three and four-bedroom homes with properties available both through the open market and a provision of ‘affordable’ homes. The development will be known as Lark View.
Mark Harding MRICS, land and planning director at Wain Homes South West, said: “Tencreek Farm forms part of the urban extension to Liskeard and our scheme has been designed to provide continuity and allow connectivity to the adjoining potential development areas which form the wider Tencreek Farm masterplan, aimed at creating a sustainable and healthy neighbourhood to the south-east of Liskeard.
“The development site is well connected, with public transport links to surrounding amenities, workplaces and facilities, creating choice and reducing car dependency. Retail, employment and other homes are also located close by, making it an ideal location for a new community to flourish.”
The acquisition of Tencreek Farm comes soon after Wain Homes successfully completed sales at its Charter Walk development to the north-east of Liskeard.
Wain Homes has already provided £844,000 to the Liskeard community through education, infrastructure and sports facilities contributions through the Charter Walk development agreement and this will be boosted by a further £900,000 through the Tencreek agreement.
Mark added: “This is a strategic land acquisition, working with West Country Land and the land owner which will roll on from the success of our Charter Walk development in the town, demonstrating our commitment to Liskeard and the wider county of Cornwall.”
The Tencreek Farm development team included John Rudge, Lucy Downs, Zak Morgan and Lizzie Woodgate (Wain Homes), Nina Chesworth (Wain Group), John and Justin (West Country Land), Stephen Harris (Emery Planning), Rob Revolta (Tyler Grange), Darin Kay (AEQ), Amy Sanders (LHC Architects), Mike Fuller (Corum), Rory Stracey and Jasmin Andrew (Trowers & Hamlins).
