Potential Building Plot, Bishopsteignton TQ14

The potential plot - TQ14 9SW

This is a superb opportunity to acquire a potential building plot set just a short walk from the centre of the village of Bishopsteignton, above the beautiful Teign Estuary. Currently occupied by a former Scout Hall, the plot attained outline planning approval under application ref. 20/01321/out for the construction of up to two dwellings on the site in 2020.

A subsequent reserved matters application (ref. 23/00868/rem) approved details of a detached two storey house which was proposed with accommodation to comprise an entrance hall, W.C., office/study, utility/plant room and an open plan kitchen/dining/living area on the ground floor. Stairs led to the first floor where there was a master bedroom suite proposed with en-suite bathroom, dressing room and balcony along with two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and another study. The floor area of the proposed house extended to c. 160sqm (1722sqft). Externally, two car parking spaces were shown at the front, and there were gardens/planting to each side of the new dwelling along with a rear garden area. Interested parties should be aware this reserved matters approval lapsed in October 2025. However given the recent planning approvals, the Agents are of the opinion that there are excellent prospects to attain a new consent on the site for one or two new dwellings.

The site is relatively level and extends to approximately 362sqm / 0.09 acres.

Planning & cil


Teignbridge District Council granted outline planning approval (ref. 20/01321/out) on the 16th November 2020 for the “Demolition of existing scout meeting hall and erection of up to two dwellings (all matters reserved for future consideration)”. A subsequent reserved matters application (ref.23/00868/rem) was approved on 31st October 2023 for the construction of a single detached dwelling. This application lapsed in October 2025.

There was no associated S106 legal agreement with the planning permission, but there was a cil liability which was charged at £200/sqm. Interested parties should note that self-builders are able to apply for exemption from cil. Please contact Teignbridge Council to discuss this further. Electronic copies of the technical information such as the plans and previous planning permissions are available from the agents upon request.
