Architectural design & build in Luxulyan

Luxulyan is a granite-quarrying village in a wooded valley north of St Austell, with the spectacular World Heritage Treffry Viaduct in the valley and a tight Conservation Area at the village core. Conservation Area covers the village including the church; World Heritage Site (Cornish Mining) status applies to the Luxulyan Valley including the viaduct. Granite-quarrying heritage shapes most planning conversations.
