Is your land in Falmouth the kind we want?
Small sites in and around Falmouth are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. Sitting about 8 miles south of Truro, Falmouth is within Cornwall, with Truro and Redruth close by.
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Garage blocks and small yards
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
Cornwall has no Green Belt, but landscape designation is extensive: the Cornwall National Landscape covers large stretches of coast and countryside, alongside the Tamar Valley and Isles of Scilly National Landscapes. Settlements are dispersed, from Truro, Camborne, Redruth and St Austell to many small coastal and inland villages. Sites coming forward are often edge-of-settlement fields, farm buildings, former mining and china clay land, and rural exception sites for local needs.
What usually makes or breaks it
Design fit
A small scheme has to suit the street and the neighbours.
BNG (England)
From 6 August 2026 non-major sites of 0.2 ha or less are generally exempt from mandatory BNG unless priority habitat is affected.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage and sewer connections can still be significant on small sites.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Cornwall has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Falmouth are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 214 miles from Falmouth, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
