DESCRIPTION

In a time when central government is expressly encouraging local planning authorities, to grant planning permission for schemes in sustainable areas adjoining well established and serviced settlements areas of land. Such locations are becoming increasingly sought after and more valuable. We are pleased to be able to offer for sale Field A, a level, roughly rectangular field measuring about 3.17 acres. Which abuts Ellis Meadow, Connor Downs and also abuts an area of land, that is currently subject to a planning application for 40 residential units, under Application No. PA22/05411.

Field A has two accesses, one via a field gate directly onto Angarrack Lane and the other via a retained right through Ellis Meadow. The current planning application mentioned above, is designed to use an access along Angarrack Lane. With plans on the Cornwall Council website, showing potential to broaden Angarrack Lane, to allow for vehicular and pedestrian access. In addition, Field A also retains rights to services connections in Ellis Meadow. Interestingly, the planning application referenced above is shown in its plans to be connecting to the same services. Although no approach has yet been made to our client. Therefore, allowing a new owner to potentially negotiate this themselves.

It is believed that Field A, is most likely to gain planning permission for development in the near future. But our client is interested in selling Fields B and C (see attached plan) with Field B currently divided into two areas with the allotment area not being for sale. Field B measures about 1.33 acres and Field C measures about 5.37 acres. Our client is open to discussion on these fields. Field B is currently approximately 50% occupied by 30 allotments approached off Angarrack Lane. The allotment area is currently not for sale. Field C has a long boundary attachment to Arundel Park, Arundel Court and Ellis Meadow and has an established access off Blacksmith Lane and a right to access through Arundel Court. As a whole this is a sizeable block of land, of just under 10 acres. All with direct attachment to Connor Downs in a location that is within easy walking distance of the village facilities. Including, the primary school, doctors, filling station/shop and the Turnpike Inn. The land is almost entirely level.

Importantly, a report entitled SHLAA commissioned in 2016 for residential expansion planning concluded this area of land, as having limited constraints for development and that it could yield approximately 100 units. It was termed a “‘developable’ site suitable for development, depending on individual circumstances and specific measures being proposed to overcome any minor constraints”. The timescale given for this was between 2020 and 2025.

Our client is not interested in entering into an Option Agreement on Field A and is looking for a straight sale, at what is considered to be a very competitive price. With an Overage Clause, for future development. Our client is however, open to discussions on how this would work and we welcome all offers and interest that are not subject to planning.

LOCATION

Connor Downs has an excellent community spirit, aided by the village post office, garage/shop, pub, primary school and doctor’s surgery. Connor Downs is very close to the north Cornish coast and the four mile wide St Ives Bay, with beautiful walks along the South West Coast Path. Through the sand dunes and excellent surfing and swimming, along the sandy beach. The south coast is also only about 15 minutes’ drive away at Marazion, which

                                                                                                                                                     page 3 Ref: LCAA8948

overlooks St Michael’s Mount and Mounts Bay. Between the coasts is beautiful unspoilt countryside, with quiet lanes and footpaths.

Although Connor Downs has day to day facilities, the town of Hayle is only about 5 minutes’ drive away and offers a full range of services. Including, supermarkets and secondary schooling. St Ives is a short distance further to the west, as is Penzance, whilst Camborne to the east and Helston to the south east are also within easy striking distance. Each having their own unique appeal and further services. The A30 Expressway, is close to hand and runs throughout Cornwall giving simple access to Truro (Cornwall’s capital city) and the motorway network at Exeter. In Hayle there is a mainline railway station on the Penzance to London Paddington line.
