Cornwall Council's Housing Development Programme (HDP) aims to deliver 1,000 new homes between 2017 - 2021, within key towns in Cornwall. The HDP will provide an affordable, secure , alternative offer for those in the private rented sector, those in housing need, and for those that want to stay within their local community. The aim is to provide housing that is supported by the community for the community.
Planned homes will include a range of tenures including properties for open market sale, and affordable homes to rent. The focus, however, is on market rental properties.
