Welcome to the pages of the Trelawney Alliance. We have derived our name from the famous Bishop Trelawny who’s story is told HERE

We hope that the information you find on our website will be informative and useful. Please add us to your favourites.

We are a voluntary, non political group who are concerned that our local housing needs are being ignored by Central Government and is being dictated by the South West Regional Assembly.
We feel that it is the local planners and the local councillors who we democratically elect to speak on our behalf  are the ones who should determine the need for local homes, and build accordingly.

In raising the issue of the mass build of housing estates and infrastructure we hope that people will see through the fog of political speak and realise the effect that this building plan will have on our communities.

The Trelawney Alliance is a group of local residents who have joined together under the leadership of the former Mayor of Camborne, Councillor Jean Charman, to object to this intended development with the ultimate aim of getting the plan overturned. We say NO to mass build of 68,200 new homes in Cornwall, but YES to affordable homes for local people. It is time to tell the developers that

CORNWALL IS NO LONGER FOR SALE!

The Park Bottom and Camborne scenarios described below are not isolated cases, there are more like this planned in the South West peninsula.

In Kerrier, around the CAMBORNE, POOL, REDRUTH & PARK BOTTOM areas it is planned to build 11,100 homes by 2026 with supporting changes to infrastructure and with additional commercial and industrial units. The village of Park Bottom, with a present population of 580 houses, will be subjected to a surrounding additional development of 2,350 homes, built on greenfield land and more than quadrupling its population and there is a further 75 planned in Illogan. 4,910 homes are intended for East & West Camborne, 1,200 for Pool and 2,600 for Redruth. This is clearly not building for local need. The politicians need to justify why a small Cornish village needs to be quadrupled in size and why our communities need these houses in addition to the normal year on year growth. Additional building, subject to planning consent, will be permitted outside the areas defined by the AAP

THIS MADNESS MUST BE STOPPED!

DO WE REALLY NEED IT !

In addition to normal year on year growth it is planned for ANOTHER 68,200 new build homes for Cornwall, most of it in the Western half of the County.

Just to indicate one aspect of the magnitude of the issue, this could produce an additional 100,000 private cars on the roads.

Nose to tail that would fill three lanes of highway from Launceston to Penzance

Were I a businessman I would be very concerned about my supply routes

Were I in the tourist industry I would be very concerned about the tourists just not bothering to come to Cornwall

DO WE REALLY NEED IT !

The present day population of Cornwall is in the region of 520,000 people.
This proposed build of 68,700 homes could accommodate as many as 150,000 people (approx 29% of existing population) which is a near equivalent to the approximate present populations of:

Bodmin (15,000)  Camborne (20,000)  Camelford (3,000)  Falmouth (20,000)  Helston (10,000)
Liskeard (10,000)  Penzance (19,000)  Redruth (12,000)       St Austell (23,000)  Truro (20,000)
