General Comments - An excellent opportunity to purchase two building plots located in the small hamlet of Black Cross. Outline Planning permission was granted by Cornwall Council on 27 September 2024 reference number PA24/00156 for "Outline Planning application for two dwellings". The consent is for two detached bungalows with front and rear gardens. Each bungalow will have two bedrooms, open plan kitchen/dining and sitting room and bathroom. Each bungalow will have private driveways with turning space and two parking spaces. New accesses will be created from the village road for the bungalows.

Location - Black Cross is a small hamlet of properties located in a convenient position, close to St Columb Road, Indian Queens and Fraddon which affords a range of shops and amenities for daily needs. The location is particularly convenient for the centres of Newquay, St. Austell or Truro and being just off the A30 there is easy access to all parts of the county. The north Cornish Coast is within a short drive as is Newquay airport, just ten minutes drive.

Reason: In accordance with the requirements of Section 92 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) and in accordance with the requirements of Articles 1, 2 and 4 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015.
2 An application for approval of reserved matters must be made no later than the expiration of 3 years from the date of this decision and the development hereby approved shall commence no later than 2 years from the final approval of the reserved matters or, in the case of approval on different dates, the final approval of the last such matter to be approved.
Reason: In accordance with the requirements of Section 92 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) and in accordance with the requirements of Articles 1, 2 and 4 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 3, about 10 metres away.

Surface water

High risk (1 in 30)

Not at the pin: mapped about 10 metres away.

These bandings are the summary. Where this location sits on the flood maps, plus planning activity, heritage and ground risks, is in the full report.

Important notice: Information, maps and tags on this page are drawn from the advertising agent's marketing materials or generated automatically. LandSale has not verified them. Relying on these details is at your own risk, always carry out independent checks before committing to a purchase.
