Planning consent


Full planning permission has been granted by South Hams District Council under application reference 1868/25/ful, dated 4 June 2026, for the demolition of the existing agricultural building and its replacement with a single-storey, two-bedroom detached dwelling.

The planning permission follows a previous approval under Class Q.

The approved scheme comprises a detached single-storey dwelling extending to approximately 95 sq m Gross Internal Area, together with associated vehicular access, parking, private residential curtilage and external works. The proposed accommodation provides two bedrooms alongside the principal living accommodation and is designed to make effective use of the existing developed footprint.

The proposals also incorporate a range of sustainable energy measures, including solar photovoltaic panels, an air source heat pump and electric vehicle charging provision.

We believe that all elements have been constructed with planning consent or have been in place for sufficient time that a certificate of lawful existing use could be secured.

Prospective buyers are urged to review the decision notice and officer’s report along with any related application documents, to have a thorough understanding of the consent granted.
Development uplift clause


The property will be sold subject to a Development Uplift Clause, providing for an agreed payment in the event of any future increase in value arising from additional development of the property.

The clause will apply to any future planning consent or development opportunity beyond the existing planning consent, which will be expressly excluded. Full details, including the trigger, percentage and duration, can be discussed with the selling agents.
Method of sale
