The farmland and paddocks that interests us around Newquay
We are looking for farmland near Newquay with a realistic access, ideally land the owner has already put forward to the local plan. Sitting about 10 miles north of Truro, Newquay is within Cornwall, with Truro and St Austell close by.
- Fields and paddocks adjoining a town, village or suburb
- Land with road frontage or a farm track to a road
- Parcels from a few acres to whole holdings
- Land let on a farm business tenancy or grazing licence
Second-home and holiday-let pressure has led to principal residence policies in some Cornish neighbourhood plans, and nutrient neutrality advice has applied in the River Camel catchment. Former mining land around Camborne and Redruth needs mining risk checks, while the A30 corridor towns attract more mainstream housing growth.
What usually makes or breaks it
Relationship to the settlement
Land that reads as an extension of a place is usually more promising than isolated fields.
Tenancies
Agricultural tenancies affect when vacant possession can be given; we check the type and terms.
Best and most versatile land
High-grade agricultural land can be a factor in planning decisions.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
Cornwall has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Newquay are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 201 miles from Newquay, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Farmland and paddocks in Newquay: common questions
Can I keep farming while you pursue planning?
Yes. Under an option or a conditional contract the land normally stays in your hands, and in use, until completion.
Will I lose my farm payments?
Development land may need to leave a scheme at some point. Check your agreements and take advice; we plan timing around them where we can.
Is Newquay too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 201 miles from Newquay, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Newquay to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
