Key Points

Planning

The site has no formal designated use but is surrounded by a mix of residential, retail and other community uses. It is not understood to be within a Conservation Area, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or Flood Zone, and there are no Tree Preservation Orders affecting the land. The site lies within the Callington settlement boundary as defined by the adopted Cornwall Local Plan and is identified as being within an SSSI Impact Risk Zone, which would need to be considered as part of any future planning application.

It is considered that the site may have potential for residential development in principle, subject to detailed assessment and appropriate mitigation. The land benefits from a sustainable location close to local services and facilities. Any future development proposal would be expected to address matters including access, levels, landscaping, ecology and design quality in accordance with national and local planning policy.

The vendor will consider transaction structures including subject to planning or option arrangements, depending on the terms proposed. Parties are invited to submit offers clearly setting out the proposed structure, price, funding, timescales and any conditions attached.
