Questions from landowners near Newquay
What is an infill plot?
A small gap in an otherwise built-up frontage, usually between two existing buildings, that a new home could fill.
Is infill easier to get permission for?
Often, because it continues the existing street pattern. Policy varies by council, especially in villages.
Will you buy a gap site with a derelict garage on it?
Yes. We'll allow for demolition and any clean-up.
Do you cover the villages around Newquay?
Yes. Villages between Newquay, Truro and St Austell often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
