A £12 million "urban village" development in Camborne, designed to create the kind of environment inspired by Prince Charles' acclaimed Poundbury project, is now on its last lap.

Redruth-based St Piran Homes have completed the ten properties in phase three of their Laity Fields scheme off Dolcoath Road.

Phase four, now under way, involves just two semi-detached houses, which have already been sold through agents The New Homes Company. The whole site - 84 one, two and three- bedroom flats and houses - sold out in record time.

Laity Fields, the biggest-ever development by St Piran Homes, features a variety of housing styles arranged around a village green.

Local materials feature prominently in the construction, with design features carrying echoes of the area's proud mining history. In particular, the three-storey properties hint at the outline and style of the old engine houses.

An historic monument - an 80ft stretch of finger embankment which used to support the tramway - has been retained within the development.

To celebrate completion of Phase Three and to thank all the employees and sub-contractors involved, St Piran Homes arranged for a special site delivery of pasties supplied by fellow Cornish company Berryman Bakery in Redruth.
