ORCHARD PLOTS WITH PERMISSION IN PRINCIPLE FOR UP TO FOUR DWELLINGS A parcel of land extending to approximately 0.6 acres, enjoying a village-edge position at Playing Place with south facing views over the surrounding countryside.

GENERAL COMMENTS

Lot 2 — The Orchard Plots comprise an adjoining parcel of land extending to approximately 0.6 acres, positioned to the rear of 14 Carlyon Road on the edge of Playing Place. The land benefits from Permission in Principle for up to four dwellings, creating an excellent opportunity for developers, builders or purchasers seeking a small residential development site in a desirable village-edge location with wonderful views.

The land currently forms part of a wider holding and is available as a separate lot. The adjoining detached bungalow and gardens are available as Lot 1, while a further sloping paddock is available as Lot 3. Purchasers may therefore acquire the Orchard Plots alone, or consider the wider opportunity to purchase additional land and/or the whole site. As a whole, the bungalow, orchard plots and paddock extend to approximately two acres.

Playing Place is a popular village within easy reach of Truro, Carnon Downs, Feock and the Carrick Roads. The village has a local store, Kea Primary School is nearby, and the location offers convenient access to both Truro and the south Cornish coast.

PLANNING

The Orchard Plots benefit from Permission in Principle for up to four dwellings. Permission in Principle establishes the principle of residential development only, and any detailed scheme will be subject to Technical Details Consent, all other necessary planning permissions, statutory approvals and detailed design.

In reaching its decision, the Local Planning Authority considered the proposal to represent sustainable development in terms of its location, land use and amount.

Purchasers should note that the proposed development is expected to be liable for a Community Infrastructure Levy charge, with the amount to be calculated at the Technical Details Consent stage. There may be scope for individual self-build purchasers to apply for CIL exemption if the land is divided and sold as separate serviced plots, subject to eligibility, compliance with the relevant criteria and all necessary approvals. Interested parties should make their own enquiries with Cornwall Council and take their own professional advice.

Interested parties should also satisfy themselves as to the planning position and any requirements relating to access, drainage, services, ecology, highways, design and service connections.

The planning application can be viewed on Cornwall Council’s planning portal under reference PA26/00847.

ACCESS, SERVICES AND BOUNDARIES

Access is understood to be available from Carlyon Road via the existing private lane serving 14 and 14a Carlyon Road. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the precise access arrangements, rights of way, visibility requirements, boundaries, site area, easements, covenants and any improvements that may be required as part of a future planning application or development proposal. Purchasers should also make their own enquiries regarding the availability, location and capacity of services, including water, electricity, drainage and any other utility connections required to serve the proposed development. The vendors have previously obtained professional advice in connection with the Permission in Principle application and the potential progression of the site, and further information may be made available to interested parties via the selling agents.

The Orchard Plots are offered for sale as Lot 2. The adjoining bungalow and gardens are available separately as Lot 1, while the bottom paddock is available as Lot 3. The whole site may also be purchased as a single holding.

Playing Place has a good village store and Kea Primary School is literally just along the road. Playing Place also lies within two to three miles of Feock and Loe Beach and hence easily accessible to the River Fal and Carrick Roads estuary.
