Development Potential - Planning History:

October 2015 (application ref: PA15/09246): Application for the erection of a low-level dwelling with integral garage. Whilst the application was withdrawn before a decision was made, consultee comments are readily available to view. Of particular note: 'Deviock Parish Council supports this application subject to a satisfactory flood risk assessment report.'

January 2021 (application ref: PA20/03137/PREAPP): Pre-application advice for a single family detached dwelling, with 3 bedrooms and internal 2 car garage. The advice given stated that 'the site represents a natural rounding off of the settlement', but highlighted 'the primary concern with any form of development on this site would be the impacts in respect of flood risk'.

Unusually for a property with apparent potential, this property is offered without an Overage (Clawback) obligation.
