BACKGROUND

• Parcel of land near St Columb, Cornwall, outside the development boundary and not allocated as housing. Achieving planning permission in this case, therefore, was always going to be a challenge.

WHAT WE DID

• Completed investigations into the ground conditions, ecology, the roads and drainage, noise and arboriculture, and completed full architectural plans.

• Submitted a proposal for 10 residential units, which was decided would offer the best financial return for the landowner.

THE OUTCOME

• Planning permission was granted at local level.

• The site was sold to a developer within three months of consent being given, and within just 18 months of signing the agreement with us.

• Land sold for approximately 10 times its value before PP was granted.
