Description

In June 2023, the land received a positive Pre-Application response regarding potential development under Policy 9 (Rural Exception Sites). Since then, updates to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Cornwall Council's focus on bringing forward development in sustainable village centres have shifted the approach. Development is no longer required to be led primarily by affordable housing, although such schemes may still be prioritised. We believe this creates a timely opportunity to advance the site under Policy 8.

St Buryan is a charming and sought-after village located in West Cornwall, with a population of around 1,500 residents. The village offers a variety of local amenities including a post office and shop, the St Buryan Inn pub, a primary school, and a traditional village church.

Just a short distance from the village centre is St Buryan Farmshop, along with easy access to the beautiful Porthcurno Beach and its café. Nearby Treen is home to the Logan Rock Inn and the Farm and Fort Café. The renowned Minack Theatre, an iconic open-air venue set into the cliffs, is also close by-only 1.3 miles from the village.

St Buryan is ideally placed to enjoy Cornwall's dramatic coastal scenery, with stunning beaches on both the north and south coasts.

Located approximately five miles from Penzance, the village benefits from convenient access to the B3283 and A30. Penzance provides a mainline railway station
with nationwide connections, including regular direct services to London.

Regular bus services operate to both Penzance and Land's End. Additionally, several public rights of way pass through the village, offering scenic routes and direct links to the South West Coast Path.

The land previously received a positive pre-application response in June 2023 regarding its potential for
development under Policy 9 (rural exception sites).

Since then, updates to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Cornwall Council's emphasis on bringing forward development in sustainable, centrally located village sites have shifted the policy context. Development proposals are no longer required to be affordable housing-led, although such schemes may still be prioritised.

In light of these changes, we consider there to be a window of opportunity to progress the site under Policy 8.
