The centre of Porthleven is to undergo a complete transformation after an ambitious project including a performance centre and medical practice was given the go-ahead. Work can now get underway on demolishing a section of industrial buildings on the shipyard and converting another, to create a performance space and three-storey building with a new medical centre on the ground floor and four residential apartments on the first and second floors. The metal works performance building will be positioned centrally on the site and immediately to the north of Celtic House, to house a multi-use auditorium for film and event screenings, entrance foyer and café/bar.
