This unique property presents a significant development opportunity nestled on the outskirts of the sought-after village of Feniton in East Devon. Formerly a smallholding known as Burlands Mead, the site currently holds approved detailed planning permission for a project that encompasses 35 new residential units and essential landscaping and infrastructure development, pending the finalization of a S106 legal agreement.
The approved plan features a diverse mix of housing options, including 27 houses and 8 apartments, with sizes ranging from two to four bedrooms. This variety caters to different market segments and addresses housing demands in the area. The total proposed floor area for the development is approximately 2,978 square meters (32,055 square feet), with plans also stipulating that at least 51% of the new homes will be designated as affordable housing.
Located just 11 miles east of Exeter, and conveniently close to major transport links such as the A30 and local railway services connecting to Exeter Central and London Waterloo, this site benefits from both accessibility and community amenities. Feniton itself is equipped with a primary school rated 'Good' by Ofsted, a convenience store, social clubs, and various health services. The nearby market town of Honiton provides additional shopping options including a Tesco Superstore while maintaining a selection of local businesses.
In addition to its immediate village conveniences, the proximity to Exeter means residents can easily access its vibrant array of shops, restaurants, cultural sites, and educational institutions. Furthermore, Exeter International Airport is around 10 miles away, enhancing travel connectivity for future residents.
The planning process is well underway with East Devon District Council's recent approval for application reference 23/0296/MFUL. A Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) will apply to this development at an indexed rate of £176.13 per square meter as of 2025.
Moreover, key components outlined in the draft S106 agreement include provisions for open space dedicated to public use—ensuring that community needs are met alongside residential growth—and contributions aimed at preserving local habitats.
