Description

A freehold residential plot off Engelly Road in Goonhavern, offered with Cornwall Council planning permission for a detached self-build dormer bungalow. The approved plans show a four-bedroom layout, with living and kitchen-dining space on the ground floor and further bedrooms upstairs. The site is within reach of Perranporth and the wider north Cornish coast. The permission includes conditions covering ecology and habitat protection, energy and water efficiency, biodiversity features, landscaping, external lighting and surface-water drainage. Certain permitted development rights for extensions, roof alterations and outbuildings have also been removed, so future changes may require further consent. A CIL liability notice records a current charge of £17,484.28, calculated on an approximate chargeable area of 139 sq m; buyers should check whether any self-build relief or exemption applies. The plot is not currently connected to water, drainage or electricity, according to the vendor information. Prospective purchasers should review the planning decision, approved drawings, CIL documents and associated reports, and verify access, services, boundaries and legal matters with their professional advisers.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

58out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £150,000, this is priced at about £100 per sq ft against a local average of £348, making the asking price a standout opportunity to acquire a plot. Planning permission is stated to be in place for a detached self-build dormer bungalow, with proposed elevations and site plans giving a starting point for creating a new home near Perranporth and the north Cornish coast.

This is a heavy, ground-up project rather than a renovation of an existing house: the plot is heavily overgrown and is not currently connected to water, drainage or electricity. The planning conditions, CIL position and delivery requirements all need careful verification, and the overall opportunity remains weak on the available project-economics information despite the compelling price comparison.

Key opportunities

  • Create a detached dormer bungalow to the approved scheme, using the proposed elevations and site plan as a starting point for a self-build.
  • Shape the garden and landscaping from the currently scrub-covered plot in line with the approved site plan.
  • Acquire at a notably low asking price relative to the local £/sq ft benchmark.

Key risks

  • An overgrown, unserviced plot and a ground-up build mean planning the full construction programme and utility connections, not a cosmetic refresh.
  • Verify the planning conditions, CIL liability and any available self-build relief or exemption, along with the requirements for drainage, ecology and other compliance matters.
