Meeting PlaceA new village of up to 1,500 homes has been proposed next to an adventure park.
The area has been planned by the the joint administrators of Camel Creek, a family theme park near Wadebridge in Cornwall, and would be known as Tredinnick Garden Village.
The site had existing planning consent for development as a holiday park which the proposal would look to build on.
It would look to provide between 1,200 and 1,500 new primary residential homes, along with a local centre, village hall, sports facilities, green spaces and starter commercial units for local businesses. A consultation and engagement programme is taking place into the proposals.
The development would also provide all the necessary infrastructure and financial contributions to support the new community, including upgraded utilities networks, schooling provision and healthcare, the Local Democracy Reporting Service reported.
A spokesperson for Meeting Place, which is overseeing the project, said the proposals were still at an early stage and it was undertaking the first phase of public consultation to seek feedback on the vision for the site.
“No planning application has been submitted to Cornwall Council. We are currently anticipating a submission of an outline application in spring 2026,” they said.
They added: “Sustainability is at the heart of the vision. The garden village will include biodiversity enhancements and infrastructure measures, including sustainable drainage systems, use of renewable energy and walking and cycling enhancements.
“The village will be supported by thorough technical assessments to ensure the project is designed to deliver high standards.”
‘Local priorities’
The spokesperson also said: “This is not just about homes – it’s about creating an infrastructure-led sustainable community that meets local needs.
“Our vision is to bring forward a scheme which genuinely reflects local priorities, while helping to address Cornwall’s identified need for primary homes for local people.”
As part of the consultation and engagement programme, the project team would be hosting a number of engagement events, they added.
The first event is due at St Issey Village Hall, near Wadebridge, on 7 November.
Members of the public could also share their views by completing an online survey or adding comments to the interactive map on the project website, Meeting Place said.
