Description
A former farmhouse, outbuildings and 2 acres of pasture land. Included within is 1.74 acres that is currently allocated for educational use within the local plan. This opportunity has huge potential for planning development subject to obtaining planning permission.
THE HOUSE The house is in a dilapidated condition. The house is a two storey dwelling with traditional layout with rendered elevations beneath a pitched and hipped slate roof. The property sits away from the frontage road accessed via a pleasing driveway surrounded by areas of former garden and adjoined by yardage areas serving outbuildings. The potential to restore the house perhaps with associated uses in the outbuildings such as workshop or annex, is self evident subject to obtaining the relevant planning consents.
THE LAND The extent of the property being sold is outlined red on the enclosed plan this excludes the part of the site which has been allocated for educational purposes outlined in blue.
The land which is allocated for educational purposes may be acquired through separate negotiation.
If the land subject to education allocation is not acquired the purchaser will be required to construct an estate road with main services connection to adoptable standard to the boundary of the education allocation land.
Whilst the land for educational use is retained a vehicular right of access to same for management purposes will be retained via the principal access road as shown by the dotted red line on the enclosed plan. The route of this can be varied through agreement if same needs to be moved to facilitate development.
PLANNING The land has existing use consent for single farmhouse with farmland. Part of the site has been allocated for educational uses. The land sits within an area where it is considered likely residential development consent will be granted. The most relevant planning document for the area is The Tuckingmill Framework of 2010.

PLANNING NARRATIVE There has been discussion with Cornwall Council Planning Department about the future development of this land. Whilst it has been made clear the educational allocation will be adhered to considerable flexibility has been indicated in connection with residential development on the residual land.
Discussions with Cornwall Council Planning Department suggest the element of the land which sits outside of the education allocation is considered appropriate for housing in principal. Furthermore, the Council would consider the land as “infill / rounding off” rather than an “exception site”. This means the Policy requirement would be 25% affordable housing instead of the starting position for an exception site which would be 100% affordable housing.
Further in negotiating the allocation of the residential land, the Council would be sensitive to striking out educational contribution for houses built on the land given the provision of a site for primary school within the curtilage and the Council might also be prepared to strike out the requirement for any affordable housing percentage.
