Residents are being offered the opportunity to step inside innovative housing which is being proposed for a brownfield site in Penryn.

An application to house 264 students in recycled and renovated shipping containers on the Kernick Industrial Estate has already been submitted to Cornwall Council, along with proposals for a health centre and surgery in the former Home Shed building on the site.

And the developer, Irregular Cornwall, will be taking one of the units on tour later this month.

The containers are environmentally-friendly, affordable and would help to ease the pressure from students on local housing in Falmouth and Penryn.
