The proposal given the green light by Cornwall Council includes 56 homes for social housing
Persimmon has obtained planning permission for 187-home development in Newquay.
The £1.19bn-turnover firm was granted permission for the proposed development on land south of the A392 by Cornwall Council last week,
Of the 187 new homes, 56 will be acquired by a local housing association for social housing.
The development proposals include a mixture of apartments and houses, ranging from one-bedroom flats to five-bedroom houses.
There will be new public spaces, play areas and a 3m-wide footpath and cycleway.
The housebuilder will contribute more than £565,000 to Cornwall Council through the Community Infrastructure Levy for local improvements.

“We are delighted to have secured planning permission for our new Newquay development,” Robbie Brown, technical director for Persimmon Homes Cornwall and West Devon, said in a statement.
“The application demonstrated our continued commitment to the principles of sustainable, high-quality development, delivering a wide choice of homes to meet local needs.
“We have also listened to the request for a new strategic footpath and cycle way, and we’re delighted to have gone above and beyond on this asset for the local community.”
Earlier this month Persimmon reported a collapse in pre-tax profit for the first half of its financial year. It reported pre-tax profits fell 65.7% to £151m, from £440m in the same period last year.
