Opportunity for up to five bespoke homes near North Cornwall coastline.
Approximately 0.40 ha (1.0 acre) level development plot
A rare development plot of approximately 0.40 hectares (1.0 acre) on the edge of Shop, Morwenstow, offering scope for up to five new homes. The land is mostly level, includes a modern agricultural barn and an old sand school area, and sits within easy reach of coastal cliffs and beaches about a mile away. This location benefits from village amenities, an Ofsted Outstanding primary school and low local crime — attractive to families and buyers seeking peaceful rural living with coastal access.
Outline planning (Ref. PA21/09331) for up to five dwellings was granted in May 2022 but lapsed on 27 May 2025. The vendor will consider conditional offers subject to planning, enabling a purchaser to submit a fresh application. Prospective buyers should note potential Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charges will apply and will be calculated at the detailed application stage.
The vendor retains the driveway and associated rights of way will be granted for the site; the retained driveway and the possibility that adjoining land may be available separately should be factored into access and layout plans. Basic services enquiries have been made but all purchasers must verify utility connections and capacities with providers. This plot will suit developers, builders or buyers seeking a bespoke small development in a secluded countryside setting with strong local character.
Practical considerations: prepare for a new planning application, CIL liability, and service connection investigations. With planning secured again, the site offers good scope to create homes with generous gardens and countryside views close to the North Cornwall coast.
