## Key points

- An unfinished Cornwall housing estate is for sale.
- None of its planned homes has been occupied.
- Costs and delays left the project with £1.2 million in interest.

## Summary

A stalled housing estate in Calstock, Cornwall, has been put up for sale after rising costs and council delays left its developers unable to finish the project. The site has stood empty since 2019, and none of the homes has ever been occupied, leaving a planned source of housing unused.

The scheme was approved in 2018 and promised 33 homes, including ten affordable properties, down from an initial commitment of 15. Only ten houses were built fully or in part, while work on an eleventh may need to be demolished and restarted; the project accrued £1.2 million in interest. The 3.85-acre site is being marketed at a price available on application, and a buyer must contribute almost £100,000 towards education and open space and meet road-building standards.
