Plymouth Community Homes has been awarded full planning permission to develop land off Bath Street in the Millbay regeneration area.

The £33.5m scheme, located near the Pavilions site, involves a new community being created in the city centre offering a range of energy-efficient and affordable new homes, along with businesses, communal gardens and children’s play areas in open green spaces.

The Bath Street scheme will feature a mixture of 1, 2 and 3 bed apartments, townhouses and mews houses developed in buildings ranging from three to five storeys.

Construction on the first phase is expected to start next spring. The initial section to be completed will deliver 51 homes for social rent and 29 for shared ownership.

The scheme forms part of the partnership agreement between PCH and Plymouth City Council which aims to deliver more than 600 new homes for Plymouth, with at least 444 for affordable housing.

PCH is acquiring the site, primarily owned by Plymouth City Council, with support provided through partnership working with Homes England, which is engaged with the project and providing expertise and support.
