Architectural design & build in Port Isaac

Port Isaac is a tight working fishing village on the rugged north coast, internationally recognised through TV (Doc Martin), with one of the densest Conservation Areas in Cornwall and severe access constraints. Conservation Area covers the entire historic harbour; AONB and Heritage Coast across the parish. Access for construction is famously difficult — narrow lanes, steep grades, no on-street parking.
