Land For Sale £350,000
The site - TR13 9SF
An opportunity to acquire a greenfield development site with the benefit of outline planning permission for a rural exceptions housing scheme (affordable housing led with a minimum of 50% affordable housing), situated on the southern edge of the village of Ashton in the Parish of Breage, between Penzance to the west and Helston to the east.
The site will be accessed from Rinsey Lane, with the access having been approved, but all other matters such as scale, layout, appearance and landscaping being reserved for future consideration and approval. There was an indicative layout plan that accompanied the outline planning application, as approval was initially being sought for layout as well, but the layout was subsequently omitted from the application prior to the appeal of the planning refusal notice.
The Red lined area on the planning application (which includes the access area) extends to approximately 0.73 hectares (1.80 acres) and is relatively level.
Situation and amenities
Ashton is located on the south west Cornish coast on the main A394 road between Penzance (c. 8 miles) and Helston (c. 4 miles). It is situated within close proximity to the beautiful coastal areas of Porthleven to the south east, Marazion and St Michael's Mount to the west, and Prussia Cove, Kenneggy Sands, Praa Sands and Rinsey Cove in between, and is only a short distance to St Ives Bay to the north. This is an area of historical interest both ancient and modern, with Celtic heritage and more recent industrial relics plus a long association to the arts; notably the Newlyn School, the Arts and Crafts movement and more recently the Tate Modern at St. Ives. Numerous artists live, work and exhibit locally. The far west of Cornwall is an acknowledged and "upwardly-mobile" centre for tourism, with agriculture and fishing remaining important to the local economy. Ashton is on the bus route for both Helston and Penzance which both have a good range of shops, schools and amenities plus there are primary schools in the nearby villages such as Breage and Porthleven.
Services
We are informed that there is no mains gas in the area, mains electricity is currently running overhead along the western boundary with a pole in the north west corner of the site. All interested parties should make and rely upon their own enquiries of the relevant services providers with regards to the proposed development.
Planning
Outline planning permission was granted via appeal on 10th September 2020 (Ref.app/D0840/W/19/3243611) following a refusal notice by Cornwall Council dated 22nd October 2019 (Ref.PA19/06000). The development proposed is a rural exceptions housing scheme with all matters, except access, reserved for future consideration (scale, layout, appearance and landscaping). There is an associated S106 legal agreement detailing the affordable housing requirement, on site public open space and contributions towards off site public open space and education.
Copies of the plans, planning permission, S106 and technical information are held on file by the agents and available via a dropbox link upon request.
