Description
THE DISCOUNTED DWELLINGS - HOWTON FIELD - TQ12 6ND
This is a unique opportunity to purchase one of three discounted custom build dwellings for completion, where the vendors of the site (Belfield Developments) will construct the proposed dwelling to an externally water-tight shell stage. This opportunity will suit those parties who:
* Live/Work/Have family living in Teignbridge
* Want to design and create a custom finish to their own home, potentially saving money
* Make use of their time and DIY skills to create a new home for themselves
Purchasers will be required to then complete the dwellings internally, along with external landscaping (including soft and hard landscaping). The three plots are offered for sale at prices to reflect that the completed dwellings are to be permanently restricted as 'affordable' in nature (capped at 70% of Open Market Value) and are therefore only able to be purchased by buyers meeting the 'Local Connection' and 'Income' criteria set out in Unilateral Undertaking associated with the approved planning reference 17/02166/MAJ - please contact KLP for a copy of this document.
The three dwellings are proposed to take the form of two-storey, three bedroom (4 person) dwellings with floor areas of 84sqm (904sqft) and offering two off road parking spaces. Indicative example floorplans can be seen overleaf and a reserved matters application, confirming the final design will be submitted by the vendors once offers are received. Prior to purchase, the vendors will install the access road (to base course) and required utility services to each plot.
NEWTON ABBOT
Howton Field is approximately 3 miles to the centre of Newton Abbot (10 minutes by car) and 0.5 miles (2 minutes by car) to Seale Hayne. The site sits adjacent to the new 30mph Houghton Barton link road (A382 to the A383), which will provide transport links to facilities within the new Hele Park development, including a Co-op store, fish & chips, hairdresser, vets etc. Howton Field is also located adjacent to a new proposed Countryside Park. The site will link into the wider Houghton Barton urban extension, that will encompass a mix of facilities, including a new primary school, employment land, some limited retail and a new community centre incorporating space for health services. Once this urban extension is built, residents of this scheme will be able to walk and cycle to the nearby facilities.
PLANNING & TECHNICAL
Teignbridge District Council granted Outline Planning Permission under application ref 17/02166/MAJ on the 21st June 2019 for the development of up to 20 custom build dwellings (approval sought for means of access) enabling delivery of the 15 home scheme under Variation of Condition application ref. 23/00937/MAJ approved on 18th October 2023 (to include 12 open market dwellings and 3 affordable dwellings).
A comprehensive planning & technical information pack including the design code and plot passports is available from KLP on request.
S106 & CIL
The vendors have advised they will settle at their own expense on behalf of the plot purchasers the S106 financial contributions payable on each dwelling towards matters such as community facilities, employment development, green infrastructure etc.
The Agents understand that there will be no CIL contributions applicable given that the three dwellings are affordable.
SERVICES
Included in the purchase price, and prior to completion of a purchase, the vendors will provide mains utility services (electric, water, drainage telecoms) with connection points at each plot boundary.
