Description
The site lies on the south western edge of Roundswell in Barnstaple and extends to approximately 27.38 acres (11.08 ha). It is situated within North Devon Council’s administrative boundary.
The land is bounded by mature hedge rows and includes two internal hedges running north to south. To the north is open countryside, to the east an enclosed small holding and wooded area and several new housing schemes (built out). The southern boundary abuts the Old Bideford Road and several small business uses including a garden nursery. To the west, behind a mature hedge, is a combination of open countryside and a solar field.
The land slopes gently and is currently being farmed as grassland with livestock grazing.
Access to the site will be achieved from Old Bideford Road to the south, which provides a direct vehicular route into Roundswell and Barnstaple. Beyond the Old Bideford Road is the A39, which is readily accessible.
Environment Agency (ea) Flood Mapping shows that the majority of the site is within Flood Zone 1, with some areas of Flood Zone 2 and 3. Site specific hydraulic modelling confirms that the true extent of land at risk of flooding is significantly reduced.
Location
Within a 20 minute walk amenities include multiple supermarkets, business parks, schools, convenience stores, public houses, and bus stops.
In terms of the wider surrounding area, the site is well connected with nearby villages and towns. The main settlements of Bristol (109km north-east), Plymouth (80km south) and Exeter (55km south east) are easily accessible by road.
Trains from Barnstaple run to Exeter with journey times from around an hour. More locally the areas of North Devon National Landscape and Hartland Devon Heritage Coast are accessible within a 30 minutes drive.
