General Comments - An excellent opportunity to purchase a residential development site on the edge of the much sought after village of Polgooth. Planning permission was granted on the 19th of July 2016 Ref. PA14/12225 for six brand new houses. The permission was amended in January 2023 Ref PA22/02205 for "Proposed affordable housing led residential development for 6 new dwellings with parking and private amenity on land adjacent to Elm Tree Cottage without compliance of Condition 2 in relation to decision notice PA14/12225 dated 19.07.2016".
Planning permission now granted in perpetuity via the certificate of lawful development.
The planning permission granted is for six brand new houses. These will include three impressive open market houses and three affordable homes. The open market houses will include two substantial detached four bedroom houses with garaging and parking (plots five and six) and a spacious three bedroom semi-detached house (plot four). The affordable houses include a three bedroom semi-detached house and two 2 bedroom semi-detached houses all with allocated parking.
The designs of the houses are very modern and have been designed with reverse level accommodation to take full advantage of the sloping site and there will be pleasant views over the valley with level access from the living space into the rear gardens. The location is in a very quiet, valley setting accessed from a minor country lane in a semi-rural position yet within a short walk of village amenities. There are delightful views over the valley.
Location - The village of Polgooth is very popular and is located in a very convenient position on the outskirts of St. Austell and is well placed for access to the south Cornish coast, the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, the quant harbourside villages of Mevagissey and Charlestown as well as the sandy beaches at Pentewan, Carlyon Bay and Porthpean. The village has an excellent local public house which is within a short walk of the site, post office and general store and a popular primary school at St. Mewan which also has a parish church. The town of St. Austell is less than three miles from the site with good town facilities whilst the Cathedral city of Truro with its fine shopping centre and restaurants is about thirteen miles away. Both offer a wide range of daily facilities including secondary schools and supermarkets and there is a main line railway link to London (Paddington) from Truro and St. Austell.
The Site - The location of the development site is very special, on the edge of this rural village adjoining open countryside and enjoying pleasant views across the valley. It presents a very exciting opportunity to build in a popular rural village where there has been little development over many years and where there is strong demand for houses. The village is very sought after and perfectly located for those working in Truro and St. Austell and wanting to be close to the south Cornish coastline. A cycle route runs along Pentewan Valley to the beach which is popular with locals and tourist alike. The detached houses have single integral garages and the remaining have parking for two cars. The site backs onto fields. The designs of the houses are very modern and have been designed with reverse level accommodation to take full advantage of the sloping site and there will be pleasant views over the valley. The luxurious detached houses (Plots 1 and 6) feature four bedrooms, the master and guest bedrooms will have en-suite shower rooms, the ground floor has a huge open plan living, dining and kitchen with utility and cloakroom. There is also a mezzanine, large terrace at first floor level and an integral garage. Plot 4 is a three bedroom semi detached house with open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, utility room , cloakroom and bathroom. The remaining plots (1, 2 and3) are affordable semi detached houses including two 2 bedroom and one 3 bedroom. All will have open plan living areas, with lounge, dining and kitchen at first floor level with access into the rear gardens and the bedrooms on the ground floor. The three bedroom affordable house will also have a utility room.

The permission was amended in September 2020 and again in January 2023 Ref PA22/02205 for "Proposed affordable housing led residential development for 6 new dwellings with parking and private amenity on land adjacent to Elm Tree Cottage without compliance of Condition 2 in relation to decision notice PA14/12225 dated 19.07.2016".
