Plans for a 10,000-seat stadium near Truro have been put in to Cornwall Council.

The cost of the proposed development of Langarth Farm, at Threemilestone, has been estimated at about 拢24m.

A is available on the council's website. Councillors could consider the plans next month.

If approved, the plans could also pave the way for a new 1,500-home housing estate nearby in an associated application.

The housing scheme would see the construction of shops, a restaurant, hotel, care home and the expansion of a park-and-ride service.

In the 拢78,000 feasibility study posted on the council's website, consultants Gardner and Theobald said the project could create up to 400 jobs and generate an income of 拢3m a year.

Truro City Football Club and the Cornish Pirates rugby team were both stakeholders in the study.

Cornwall Council said when it commissioned its first study into a stadium in 2010 that, if built, the stadium would help nurture regional sporting talent to compete on a national scale.

However, it said in December that no public money would go towards its building because of spending cuts.
