Planning Approved in Cornwall

5th October 2025

We’re excited to announce that Melancoose Mill has received planning approval for the sensitive conversion of its historic stone outbuilding into a community-focused wellness space.

Nestled just outside Newquay in mid-Cornwall, Melancoose Mill is a Grade II listed late 19th-century mill with a rich heritage. Crayon proposals will breathe new life into the site while preserving its character & celebrating its history.

The outbuilding will become a tranquil setting for yoga & movement sessions, creative & nature-based workshops, therapy & wellness treatments, as well as occasional community events supporting local charities.

Carefully designed by our clients & Crayon, the scheme keeps interventions minimal, reversible, & in harmony with the historic fabric of the mill. Only modest upgrades to ensure the space is accessible, sustainable, & welcoming have been proposed, creating a place of calm and creativity for years to come.
