Agent's Note

The site at Perran Foundry is a fantastic development which has saved these important buildings from being lost forever. The area played a huge part in the tin and copper mining heritage of the county and the technology of the industrial past. The conversion of the buildings took a huge amount of planning and investment to accomplish and to an extent is still continuing. it is worth noting that flood prevention and mitigation was a huge part of the design and build process and there is in fact an automatic flood barrier / gate which can rise to prevent tidal flooding when needed. Also on the surrounding site Japanese knotweed was identified and there is a treatment process and schedule in place for that. On the site at Perran Foundry there is another large building which we are told may be converted at some future point and there are also a number of building plots along the edge of the river where land has been identified to continue the development and build the community.
