Architect appointed for Porthcressa scheme
The Council of the Isles of Scilly (CIS) has selected St Ives-based architects Poynton Bradbury Wynter Cole to draw up proposals for the regeneration of Porthcressa.
A full planning application is due to be submitted in October for the scheme, which will include improvements to the promenade, a redevelopment of the bulb store into a library and upgrade work to Porthcressa Square. The design work for the Porthcressa project has been financed through the Convergence European Regional Development Fund and the South West Regional Development Agency.
A CIS spokesperson said: "Work carried out by the architectural firm will involve a comprehensive consultation process with key stakeholders and the community of the Isles of Scilly. "Thorough engagement with the community is to begin immediately and will involve events held by the architects to allow residents and interested parties the opportunity to be involved and to comment."
