Planning permission was granted on 7/10/21 by North Devon Council under planning reference 72030. All the relevant documentation plans etc can be viewed on the planning portal. The consent is subject to a Section 106 agreement with a contribution liability of £8,777. PLANNING UPDATE 4/10/23.

SERVICES
The planning permission allows for a new sewage treatment plant serving the 3 proposed new properties, there may be scope to share the cost of this with the existing owners who retain ownership of the original property adjoining. We understand that mains water is available nearby and that the local electricity supply has recently been upgraded following the development of 5 houses immediately across the road (these are heated by air source heat pumps) The two parts of the site are divided by the access drive which is being retained by the vendors. The two elements of the sites combined amount to approximately 0.44 of an acre.

As you arrive at the village of Newton Tracey drop down the hill and the entrance to the site will be found on the left hand side opposite a small development on the right and identified by our for sale board.
