A substantial development opportunity on the edge of Roundswell, Barnstaple: approximately 1.989 hectares (4.91 acres) of predominantly tree-covered land with recent outline planning permission for up to 41 residential units. The site benefits from access off Old Torrington Road, proximity to local amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal—practical advantages for future homeowners or a mixed-tenure scheme.
The permission is outline only, so reserved matters, detailed design, and any S106 or infrastructure requirements remain to be agreed. The parcel is largely overgrown and tree-covered, so site clearance, ecology surveys and groundwork will be necessary before construction. Tenure is currently unknown and should be confirmed early in due diligence.
Located in a very affluent area with very low crime and no flooding risk recorded, the land offers a strong locational case for residential demand. Local schools include several rated Good, though a couple require improvement; these factors should inform target unit mix and marketing. Proposals are to be submitted by 24th March 2025 via the informal tender process—suitable for developers ready to progress quickly.
This plot suits developers and investor-developers looking for a sizeable suburban site with outline consent and clear potential for a 30–41 unit scheme (subject to final approvals). Prepare for planning follow-up, ecological and groundworks costs, and confirmation of tenure and infrastructure obligations when calculating returns.
