Planning permission has been granted to construct seven new houses on land next to a historic derelict farmhouse dating back to the eighteenth century. St Julian's Manor is a Grade II listed building but is currently boarded up and fenced off, with the brand new St Edeyrn's housing development being built around it.
The old farmhouse lies within the St Edeyrn's area where over 1,000 new homes are set to be developed by Persimmon, as well as a district centre, school, community facility, and orchards or allotment. Persimmon bought the site and do not intend to restore or develop the site themselves.
"The proposals will provide an opportunity for a new owner of the manor to create a family home on a sizeable plot, sensitively separated from the surrounding new development, yet within reach of its facility," the heritage statement, submitted along with the planning application, reads.
