Summary - Land At Rolle Road, Great Torrington, Devon, EX38 8AX EX38 8AX
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Development
Extensive mixed-use site with riverside frontage and commercial space.
- Planning consent for 155 open-market dwellings
A rare large-scale, consented development opportunity on the southwest edge of Great Torrington, allocated across 19.98 acres with potential to expand by a further 1.33 acres. Full permission exists for 155 open-market dwellings plus 4,741 sq ft of retail and 7,535 sq ft of commercial accommodation, with scope to add up to 18 more homes if the adjacent land is acquired.
The site offers significant development upside: substantial land area, prominent riverside frontage and a mix of level plateaus and elevated banks suitable for varied house types and waterside units. Road access is available from Rolle Road and the site adjoins existing residential areas, helping with servicing and connections to local amenities, schools and regular bus links to Barnstaple and Exeter.
Buyers should note material constraints: the land has varied topography and remnant structures requiring detailed site investigation, earthworks and potential remediation; ecological and riparian margins will attract planning and mitigation requirements. There is no affordable housing provision in the current consent, tenure details are recorded under multiple freehold titles, and the sale is by Joint Administrators, so timing and conditionality will follow insolvency procedures.
This opportunity suits housebuilders or institutional investors targeting a mixed-use scheme in a prosperous small-town setting. It combines scale and planning certainty with typical rural development obligations — thorough due diligence on ground conditions, services, ecology and planning conditions is essential before exchange.
