A substantial greenfield development opportunity on the northern edge of Dawlish, extending to approximately 14.2 hectares (35.08 acres). Conditional planning permission (Ref. 21/02674/MAJ) has been granted for 201 dwellings, including 29 affordable homes and 33 age‑restricted units (11 bungalows). A new link road funded via a Highways Agreement is already being constructed to provide initial site access off the A379, improving deliverability.
The site offers a semi‑rural setting with sea views in the distance, established field boundaries, and a gentle fall across the land suitable for clustered housing. Local infrastructure and amenities are close by — Dawlish town centre and seafront are about 1.5 miles away, with rail links to Exeter and wider transport connections. This location supports a phased residential scheme with immediate access advantages from recent neighbouring developments.
Buyers should note material planning and legal obligations attached to the consent. A Section 106 agreement (dated 03 March 2023) requires financial contributions and provision of 29 affordable dwellings. Vendors will retain rights of access between Plots 41 and 42 to Secmaton Farm House and a covenant protecting open space along the north boundary. Broadband speeds in the area are currently slow and the local area is classified as deprived, factors to consider for sales strategy and tenure mix.
Overall this parcel is aimed at developers or institutional investors seeking a consented, large‑scale coastal‑edge scheme with implemented highway access. The consent and ongoing infrastructure works reduce some delivery risk, but purchasers must allow for S106 costs, retained vendor rights, and on‑site infrastructure completion when modelling costs and phasing.
