Beside West Beckon Close, Bude, EX23

DESCRIPTION
An excellent sized well-spaced site with mixed planning for up to 18 homes, with 5 open market dwellings and 8 affordable, (currently split 5 affordable rental and 3 Registered Provider Shared Ownership). The planning has been split into two parts with full permission granted for the initial 13 and a later application for an additional 5 receiving permission on principle in March 2025.

The site extends to approximately 2.8 acres and is gently sloping from an elevated position in the village. The access will be through the existing West Beckon Close via an adopted road. Given the rarity of new developments in the area, high demand is expected for the completed properties.

LAND PLAN
The land plan displayed is for indicative purposes only and should not be relied upon as an accurate depiction of precise boundaries.

AGENTS NOTE
The planning approval and conditions allows for the foul water and surface water to connect into the main sewer in the filed below (also owned by the vendor). However, the architect advises it maybe more cost efficient for the purchaser to apply for a Sewer Requisition through South West Water, who will allow a connection to be made into the closed connection in the last phase of the Cornwall Rural Housing Site.
