Description

Description

The site is situated at the upper end of St Ives, opposite St Ives Junior School, and is accessed from The Burrows (an adopted public highway). It is bound by residential properties, the Co-operative food store, the public highway, and additional amenity land.

The site has been partially cleared and levelled, with part overgrown as seen from the drone photographs. It is currently being used as a storage compound.

Location

The land is situated in the popular seaside town of St Ives on Cornwall's north coast.

St Ives is widely regarded as one of the county's most desirable locations, with a resident population of approximately 11,200, supplemented by substantial year-round tourism. The town is connected to the national rail network via the branch line between St Ives and St Erth.

St Ives provides a broad range of facilities and amenities, including a primary and secondary school, a large leisure centre with a fully equipped gym, daily exercise classes and a 25m swimming pool. The Stennack Surgery serves as the town's main medical centre and includes a Minor Injury Unit (MIU).

A superb selection of cafés, bars, surf schools and galleries, including the renowned Leach Pottery and Tate St Ives, along with St Ives Harbour and the beaches at Porthmeor and Porthminster, are all within easy walking distance.

Planning

The land benefits from a positive pre-application response for a scheme of up to 9 residential dwellings with parking and a garaging area, together with open
space to the west under reference number PA25/01290/PREAPP. The response was issued on 17th February 2026.

The land is located within the area covered by Policy H2, which requires completed dwellings to be occupied as primary residences.
