  • Previous planning permission granted for the construction of a three-bedroom dwelling

Description

Accessed via Old Drovers Way, the plot occupies a private position within the former walled gardens of Stratton Manor offering a rare opportunity to construct an individual dwelling in one of Stratton's most sought-after residential settings.

The site is mature and well established, with existing trees and planting creating a particularly attractive setting. A significant amount of preparatory work has already been undertaken, with electricity, water and BT ducting installed to the site, together with a private sewage pump station connected to the mains.

Planning permission was granted under application PA18/07303 for the construction of a detached one-bedroom, timber-framed and timber-clad cabin-style dwelling. We understand that works have commenced under this permission and that the consent therefore remains in perpetuity. Purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the current planning position with Cornwall Council.

More recently, planning permission was granted under application PA23/04161 for a substantially larger three-bedroom detached dwelling. Whilst this permission has since expired, the previous consent demonstrates the potential of the site for a larger residential scheme, subject to obtaining the necessary planning approval.


EPC Rating: C

APPROVED PLANS – PA18/07303

Planning permission was granted under application PA18/07303 for the construction of a detached one-bedroom, timber-framed and timber-clad cabin-style dwelling within the mature, tree-lined plot.

The compact, design-led scheme provides an attractive opportunity to create an individual standalone home within this established setting. We understand that works have commenced under this permission and that the consent therefore remains in perpetuity. Prospective purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves as to the current planning status with Cornwall Council.

PREVIOUSLY APPROVED THREE-BEDROOM SCHEME – PA23/04

Conditional planning permission was granted by Cornwall Council on 17th August 2023 (Ref: PA23/04161) for a revised and substantially larger dwelling on the site.

The previously approved plans proposed a contemporary three-bedroom detached home. Whilst this permission has since expired, it demonstrates the potential for a larger dwelling on the site, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent.
