Work starts on huge beach-front homes, shops and restaurants scheme

The North Quay project is designed to give West Cornwall an economic shot in the arm

How the North Quay housing and business scheme in Hayle, Cornwall, is planned to look

Work has started on one of Cornwall’s most eagerly anticipated projects – the transformation of Hayle Harbour into a coastal quarter containing homes, shops and restaurants.

Construction is under way at North Quay, the first phase of the scheme, which will feature homes, new shops and open spaces, all set within a waterside location just yards from the Gwithian Towans beach with its three miles of sand.

More than a decade in the planning, the regeneration of Hayle Harbour has long been seen as a pivotal project in stimulating and sustaining economic growth in the town and West Cornwall.

Once complete, North Quay will become a focal point for further phases of the regeneration and a destination in its own right, for people living and working locally or enjoying a visit to Hayle, its near neighbour St Ives and wider West Cornwall.

North Quay is set amongst the striking scenery of the Hayle Estuary and within the boundaries of the Hayle Conservation Area and The UNESCO World Heritage Site for Cornwall and Devon, offering residents an exceptional location and quality of life.

It will feature approximately 140 properties in 11 buildings, including 17 three-bedroom wharf style houses and one, two and three bedroom apartments, many with views over the Hayle estuary and beyond.

Phase 1 also includes the development of North Quay Square, which will host events all year round, and some 20 retail units for offices, shops and restaurants, creating a bustling café culture.

Public access to the beach will be maintained for all to enjoy and there will also be new car parking facilities at North Quay, a variety of attractive and well-connected pedestrian-friendly streets and seating areas incorporated into key locations along the wharf.

The development is being built by Corinthian Homes, part of the Corinthian Homes Group, and is scheduled to see its first properties launched for reservation in early 2020 and completed beginning summer 2020.

Simon Wright, chief exective of Corinthian Homes Group, said: “We are delighted to be starting work on North Quay, the first step in unlocking the potential of Hayle Harbour, creating an exciting new coastal quarter for people to live, work, shop, eat, stay and enjoy the wonderful waterside location.

“Two more phases of housing, including affordable homes will be submitted for planning by June 2020, together with watersports facilities, additional boat moorings and more facilities for the beach.

“The aim is to deliver a project which greatly enhances the local area and its economy, protects and promotes its heritage and puts Hayle Harbour on the map as a desirable residential, visitor, business and investment destination.”
