The two proposed detached houses are large 4 bedroom dwellings with a gross internal floor area (gia) of approx. 237sqm (2,551sqft) plus a detached double garage each. And the two semi-detached 3 bedroom houses are approx. 128.3sqm (1,380sqft) each plus integral single garages. All the proposed dwellings are designed to replicate the appearance of agricultural barns that they are replacing on the site.
The site is situated in an outstanding semi-rural location between Chulmleigh and Winkleigh approximately one mile from Hollocombe and the site area extends to approximately 0.87 hectares (2.15 acres) as highlighted in red on the Google Aerial Image.

Situation and amenities
Smythen Park is situated in the quiet semi-rural location near Hollocombe approximately two and half miles from Chulmleigh which offers a good range of local facilities including a butchers, post office, bakery, newsagent, delicatessen, indian restaurant, a hairdresser, a garage, two good local pubs, a Church, a primary school, secondary school and a community run Sports Centre. The larger market town of Crediton lies approximately sixteen miles to the east offering a more comprehensive range of shops and facilities including three supermarkets, solicitors, accountants, a secondary school, a Leisure Centre, and a good farmers market. The cathedral city of Exeter lies further to the east and offers all the shops and services one would expect from the county's principal city. Road Link is via the A30, which can easily be accessed at Okehampton or at Whiddon Down providing a fast route into Exeter in the east or Cornwall in the West.
There are excellent recreational and sporting facilities in the area with Leisure Centres in Crediton and Okehampton offering well equipped fitness suites, swimming pools, football clubs, badminton, netball, tennis and judo. There are further community run sports facilities in Chulmleigh and Winkleigh, fishing in the rivers Oke, Taw and Torridge, near-by golf courses at Okehampton, Down St Mary and Crediton, excellent walking and riding in all directions, racecourses at Haldon Exeter and Newton Abbot, and sailing and watersports on North Devon's scenic and rugged coastline, being approximately an hour's drive.
Services
There is no mains gas, mains water or mains foul drainage in the nearby area but mains electricity is nearby at the edge of the site for connection. A plan was submitted as part of the planning application detailing rainwater harvesting systems for each dwelling and a combined package treatment plant with a drainage field for all the dwellings to deal with the foul drainage. It is envisaged that each property would sink a borehole to provide water and subject to a water quality test once the borehole is drilled, it may or may not require a water filtration system as well. Further details are available from the joint sole agents, however, all interested parties should make and rely upon their own enquiries of the relevant service provider with regards to the proposed development.
Planning
Torridge District Council granted detailed planning permission (Ref.1/0226/2020/ful) for the demolition of two barns and the erection of four dwellings at Smythen Farm, Hollocombe, Chulmleigh, EX18 7QD on 14th September 2020. There is an associated S106 legal agreement linked to the planning permission that requires contributions towards education transport for primary and secondary schools of £15,209 (index linked). If the plots are sold separately then the liability for this S106 contribution will be split equally between the plots. Copies of the plans, planning permission and technical information are held on file by the agents and available via a dropbox link upon request.
