Truro City Football club gets green light to develop stadium

Truro City Football club are a step closer to having a new stadium, as the government give them the go-ahead.

The stadium will be moved to the Silver Bow site, on the outskirts of the city. It will contain a club house, a covered seating and terraced area, floodlights and a 4G pitch.

The club’s current Treyew Road ground will be redeveloped into shops to pay for the move.

Truro City said the go-ahead for Silver Bow was “the most exciting news every fan of Truro City FC could ever wish for”.

Cornish Pirates chairman Ian Connell said: “We can now start to plan for August 2017 and playing in a world class facility in Truro.

“We have kept the faith, now we can really make it happen.”

The club said that the directors would be meeting developers, Helical Retail, immediately to start planning the future.

The group, called Stadium4Cornwall, said in a statement: “The stadium partners now need to complete the legal section 106 agreement with Cornwall Council and once completed, outline planning consent can then be issued.

“In the meantime marketing material is being distributed to interested retailer occupiers, who have expressed an interest in taking unit space at West Langarth.

The Secretary of State also decided not to call in plans for a supermarket at West Langarth which will help finance a 6,000-seat sports stadium nearby.

The club has thanked everyone for helping push for planning permission.
