This is a rare town-centre development plot in St Austell with consented schemes ready to progress. Planning consent (PA24/04294) covers 24 new-build apartments plus conversion consent for up to nine residential units, and the site offers substantial on-site parking and a very large footprint of approximately half an acre. Consent is reported with zero S106 obligations and CIL exemption advice, supporting a quicker route to delivery for a residential developer or investor.
The existing former Post Office and adjoining sorting rooms provide a mix of historic and modern-traditional façades that suit conversion and new-build construction. Detailed plans, building regulation information and drawings are available to aid pre-construction planning; the accommodation form and central core are well suited to multiple flats and efficient layouts. Excellent town-centre connectivity — short walk to the railway and bus stations — supports rental demand and resident convenience.
Buyers should note material considerations: the location sits in a deprived area with a recorded high crime rate, which may affect rental values, lettability or management overheads. The scheme will require full construction and fit-out costs, and a detailed structural and services survey is essential before works. Private garden space will be limited; communal amenity provision will need design and budget allowance.
For an investor or developer seeking a sizeable, consented urban site with strong transport links and ready documentation, this presents clear potential for a medium-term residential delivery in St Austell. The combination of existing consents, parking provision and town-centre position makes it particularly attractive to developers targeting apartments for rent or sale, provided risk factors are assessed and managed.
