Welcome

Planning permission is now granted for a 90-bedroom Premier Inn hotel in St Ives.

Demolition work commences

Whitbread has appointed South West contractor Gilpin Demolition to carry out demolition works at the former Trewidden Care Home site.

Work is scheduled to commence on 1 June 2026 and is expected to take approximately 18 to 20 weeks to complete. Standard working hours will typically be Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 18:00.

Every effort will be made to minimise disturbance throughout the project.

The project will begin with the establishment of the site boundary, followed by internal strip-out works.

Structural demolition will take place in the later stages of the programme and will be undertaken in consultation with an appointed ecologist.

If you have any questions for the project team, then please get in touch.
