    Penzance flood zone retirement flats plans spark objections

    August 3, 20252 Mins Read


    A proposal to build 56 retirement flats in a seafront location has drawn widespread objections over flooding fears.

    Churchill Living has submitted plans to redevelop the vacant former Lidl site off Western Promenade Road in Wherrytown, Penzance, saying the plans address a housing shortage for older people in the area.

    The Environment Agency has objected due to the site’s location in Flood Zone 3, which indicates a high risk of tidal and river flooding.

    Penzance Town Council’s planning committee also voted against the scheme, citing concerns over flood risk, the development’s scale, and what it described as “poor-quality design.”

    All 63 public comments submitted to Cornwall Council’s planning portal oppose the development, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) said.

    Many highlight fears over flooding and argue the project is too large and is out of character for the area, which includes a boating lake and rugby ground.

    One resident wrote: “The logic of building such a large residential development in a high-risk flood zone is questionable, especially with climate change increasing the frequency and severity of such events.”

    Another added: “The compound-style design is overbearing and clashes with the historic character of the area.”

    In response, Churchill Living said its flood risk report outlines mitigation measures and the development would meet local retirement housing needs while enhancing the area’s character.

    Opponents, including the Sustainable PZ group, are hosting a public workshop on 7 August at18:00 BST at Penlee Bowling Club to explore alternative community-focused uses for the site.

    The full application can be viewed on Cornwall Council’s website under reference PA25/03633.
