Torpoint is a welcoming coastal town situated in southeast Cornwall, England, with a population of approximately 8,500 residents. Nestled on the western bank of the Tamar estuary, this charming town offers stunning views across the water to the city of Plymouth, which lies just 3 miles (5 km) away. Torpoint’s proximity to Plymouth provides easy access to a major urban centre while maintaining its own distinct character and community feel. The town is also conveniently located about 20 miles (32 km) from Liskeard and 52 miles (82 km) from Cornwall’s capital, Truro.
The site occupies elevated ground on the town’s northern edge directly adjacent and framed by the A374 to the east, Torpoint Community College and established residential areas to the south, and open countryside forming part of the historic Antony Estate to the north and west. Torpoint enjoys strong transport links that connect it efficiently to Plymouth, the wider South West and national networks. The A374 runs through Torpoint providing a direct road link to the A38 at Trerulefoot – Cornwall’s main east–west trunk road – and onward to the M5 at Exeter.
The Northern Fringe presents a rare opportunity to bring forward a strategically located, greenfield development site on the northern edge of Torpoint. Extending to approximately 10.98 hectares (27.14 acres) in total, the land comprises two adjoining parcels – Defiance Field and Borough Farm – which together form a coherent and well-contained site suitable for residential – led mixed use development, subject to planning. Ultimately, this mixed-use potential offers the opportunity to not only meet local housing needs but also to enhance the town’s retail and service offer, creating a distinctive and well connected new neighbourhood at the northern gateway to Torpoint.
