Description
THE SITE - EX34 9SB
KLP are delighted to offer for sale this superb development opportunity set in the coastal village of Berrynarbour in North Devon. Currently occupied by 10 cedar holiday lodges, the site benefits from a grant of planning in principle for the demolition and replacement of the existing lodges with 3 - 5 new residential dwellings. An indicative site layout plan submitted as part of the application (shown overleaf) proposes 2 x 3 bedroom (5/6 person) houses, 2 x 4 bedroom (6/7 person) houses and 1 x 5 bedroom (8/10 person) house - although all details are to be agreed at a technical approval planning stage. The approved application site area extends to c. 1.24 acres and is positioned to the northern end of the land, with access provided to the new development scheme via the existing vehicular entrance into the site. To the south of the approved application site is an area of further land extending to c. 2.02 acres and which is primarily grassland.
Whilst the approved application is for 3 - 5 dwellings, it is the opinion of the Agents that interested parties may also wish to consider alternative development proposals for the site, such as the development of one or two large luxury detached houses taking advantage of the countryside and coastal views, subject to all requisite consents.
