A rare greenfield development parcel on Torpoint’s northern gateway, this c.10.98 hectare site offers clear scope for a residential‑led, mixed‑use scheme. The land is well contained, largely level and outside conservation designations, with direct frontage and vehicular access from the A374 — a high‑visibility corridor suited to retail or drive‑thru uses alongside new housing.
The Torpoint Neighbourhood Development Plan proposes allocation for up to 240 dwellings and up to 2,500 sq m of food and convenience retail floorspace (allocation proposal, subject to planning). The holding comprises two adjoining parcels (Defiance Field and Borough Farm), adjoins established housing and community facilities to the south, and sits entirely within Flood Zone 1 with only localised surface water risk.
For developers and investors the site’s size, elevated position and excellent connectivity to Plymouth (via the Torpoint Ferry and A374) are strong assets. There is potential to combine substantial new housing with roadside retail to serve local and passing trade, and the land benefits from good mobile and broadband coverage and very low local crime.
Important constraints are straightforward and need early consideration: the allocation is a Neighbourhood Plan proposal (not yet planning permission), a high‑pressure gas pipeline traverses the site, and two modest buildings and legacy leases affect parts of Defiance Field. Initial expressions of interest are invited by 22 August 2025. The land is offered freehold; purchasers will need to progress planning, utility diversions and detailed masterplanning to realise development value.
