St Austell
Summary
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a site with outline planning permission for two substantial houses with spectacular views to the sea at St Austell Bay in Cornwall and South West far reaching country views across Cornwall.
The Site
The plot is almost 2,000 square metres and broadly level. The gross internal area of the proposed houses is approximately 250 square metres each.
In respect of the design of the dwellings, there are a wide range of architectural styles found within the immediate area, with variety both in form and material finishes. There are two contemporary dwellings approved to the land immediately to the north. There are opportunities for any proposed development to be innovative and yet in keeping with either the traditional forms of architecture, or more contemporary designs that are present in the area.
The proposed access is a Reserved Matter, however most likely would be a shared access to serve the properties, utilising the existing access off Peters Hill. This road serves several residential properties and runs from High Street to Hornick Hill. There is good visibility from the site entrance in both directions, and observed traffic speeds are low due to the relative narrow width of the lane, and the presence of other entrances close to the site.
Landscaping remains a Reserved Matter, and no details have been formulated at this stage. The retention of all hedge boundaries would be entirely possible, with additional planting likely to be recommended to enhance the screening and biodiversity benefits of the hedge.
