The woodlands have in the past been used for growing plants and vegetables, as well as discreet boat storage. They form an attractive base for away buyers wanting to own a wonderful small part of peaceful Cornwall, alternately for those living more locally, they provide an ideal recreational area to perhaps enjoy with or without a young family that may one day prove to have been a very good investment.
PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
As the guide prices would suggest, we are not selling a building plot. A planning application was made in Nov 2018 under Application No. PA18/11025 for a detached dwelling this was turned down at appeal. The site is also now covered by a Whole Woodland Tree Preservation Order made in 2018. Buyers must draw their own conclusions as to the likelihood of obtaining planning consent for residential development of the site.
Under the 28 day Permitted Development Right Rules, various activities can currently be carried out, for 56 days per annum without the need for any consents; these include public and private camping.
SERVICES
There are no services connected, but mains water, drainage and electricity are all believed to be available nearby. Buyers must satisfy themselves on these points.
ACCESS
Access is gained from the Highway over a short section of unregistered title that provides prescriptive access rights. to both lots Lot 1 also has road frontage. The drive to Carrick (neighbouring dwelling) is included within Lot 2.
