Today's the day as ING files cut-down application for South Quay

Hayle Harbour owner ING's revised vision for the seafront.

THE NUMBER of homes earmarked for South Quay in Hayle has been has been more than halved, harbour owner ING has confirmed.

The Dutch real estate giant has revised further its multi-million pound scheme and reduced the number of homes from 64 to just 30 to create more open space and enhance sea views.

The company, which is due to file the long awaited application today, December 9, said the new design makes the scheme more transparent. "We have had more discussions with all the statutory consultees, we have listened to the feedback and we are trying to understand how we can accommodate their thoughts," spokesman Gary Cartmell explained.

"Reducing the number of units to 30, including 24 town houses and six flats, makes the area more transparent, lighter and less dense.

"The feature restaurant has also been moved further back from the tip so there will be a larger open space area on the tip of the development."

In addition to the proposed housing the revised mixed development scheme comprises a supermarket, cinema, a café and associated works.

The original scheme entailed a dense housing development of 270 flats with some retail space on the ground floor.

ING is the last applicant to submit its plans which will be considered together with Asda's, Sainsbury's and Morrisons' applications for a food store in Hayle in the New Year.
