SITUATIONStrashleigh will be formed as its very own private residential enclave.

Ivybridge is located close by and is a vibrant, friendly community in the beautiful South Hams, nestling on the southern edge of Dartmoor. The town centre has a comprehensive range of shops and other businesses. The newly developed Watermark Centre is a flagship cultural and business centre in the heart of Ivybridge. It is home to a cinema and theatre space, conference and banqueting facilities with bar, new state-of-the-art library, IT suite, community information resources, coffee shop plus

business units for rent and an on-site business support service. The town has several primary schools and a very well respected Community College. Within the town are numerous clubs and societies catering for a wide variety of interests and opportunities to participate in many sports including football, rugby, cricket and tennis. The South Devon Leisure Centre provides indoor and outdoor swimming pools, squash courts and gymnasium. The town lies alongside the A38 Devon Expressway which provides quick access to Tesco Lee Mill with Plymouth less than 10 miles away and to Exeter (and its Airport) and the M5 about 30 miles distant.

DESCRIPTIONStrashleigh provides a rare and fantastic opportunity to purchase a potential development of five individual lots to create an enclave of stunning homes and a sixth lot comprising an agricultural barn with development potential, subject to the relevant planning consents, made available to purchasers of the other lots.

The development is being offered as one lot to a seasoned developer or alternatively individual plots will be released to individuals looking to either develop or purchase as a lifestyle opportunity to create a very special home.

Whilst planning permission and permitted development has already been approved there is still scope for each of the

individual lots to have further modifications subject to various consents.

IN SUMMARYIndividual build and smaller development options

AGENT’S NOTE re potential gain on Q permitted development

Permission under Class Q (a) & (b) of the Permitted Development Right regulations 2015 was granted by South Hams District Council conversion of these barns into residential dwellings.

The consent gives Class Q approval for the conversion of the barns, together with the associated curtilage which can be no greater than the footprint of the barn which includes the parking area and patio/garden. Extra land can be classed as agricultural land.

The applications were supported by detailed elevation drawings and floor plans; however, (subject to consent), these plans can be changed, and prospective purchasers can submit a revised application to gain approval for the size and type of dwelling that they desire.

It may also be possible for prospective buyers to explore re-stating the Class Q planning for a single/two dwellings, (subject to consents etc).

It has also been recognised, in the Appeal decision Mansell v Tonbridge and Malling BC [2017] EWCA Civ 1314, that since a Class Q approval has been secured, this is a material planning consideration and can be used as a fall-back position for a future application for a replacement dwelling on the same site. There is potential for prospective purchasers to submit an application for an architecturally-designed dwelling in respect of Lots 4 & 5.

Full documents are available to download via the South Ham planning portal. The joint agents can provide the link but naturally are prevented to advise purchasers on further technical advice.

Please enquire directly with your planning consultant/SHDC for further details.
