This freehold redevelopment parcel of approximately 0.64 acres lies off a quiet country lane in Tawstock, offering planning consent (ref. 78995, granted 23/12/2024) to demolish existing barns and build three detached open-market dwellings: a 4-bed house, a 3-bed bungalow and a 3-bed house. The site sits on high ground with far-reaching rural views and generous garden plots for each unit, attractive to builders or small developers seeking a low-density rural scheme close to Barnstaple.
Practical matters are straightforward but material. The consent requires a Section 106 contribution of about £9,000. Services (mains water and electricity) are available nearby but likely require crossing retained land to connect; the seller proposes to cooperate with the purchaser on this. A communal sewage treatment plant has been allowed and will be sited on retained land, and there may be an easement/manhole and shared drainage arrangement adjacent to the neighbouring property (Fairview) that the purchaser must accept and accommodate in the new boundaries.
Benefits include excellent mobile signal, easy road access to Barnstaple (c.15 minutes) and the wider North Devon road network, and attractive proximity to coast and national parks. Notable constraints are the need to demolish existing structures and implement the new boundaries and drainage arrangements, plus very slow broadband speeds which may affect residents unless improved locally. Overall this is a clear, permitted new-build opportunity for a buyer comfortable managing the modest S106, service connections and boundary/drainage adjustments.
