Bath Street (Phase 1), Plymouth

Bath Street is a key part of Plymouth city centre regeneration.

Supported by funding from Plymouth City Council and Homes England, the development will deliver a new, eco-friendly neighbourhood on land off Bath Street in the Millbay regeneration area, which will eventually provide up to 135 affordable homes to meet local housing need.

The £33.6m scheme will create a brand new community on the temporary car park bordering Martin Street, with energy-efficient new homes made available for those on the waiting list for a social home, as well as communal gardens created featuring children’s play areas in open green spaces, and commercial business units.

The scheme was awarded full planning permission at the end of 2023, and PCH and PCC jointly secured the necessary grant funding from Homes England to enable building work to get started. Grants and funding contributions from Plymouth City Council totalling in excess of £5m from the Plan for Homes, and funding from PCH of £14.2m through loans and subsidies were also agreed.

The first construction phase will include a mix of 80 one and two bedroom flats and three bedroom houses for social rent.

The second construction phase will include a further 55 homes, eventually providing 135 affordable homes for social rent to meet local housing need.
