Full Build Perranuthnoe: TR20 planning, West Cornwall fabric
Once drawings are approved, the build is the bit that decides whether you get the home you imagined or a frustrating compromise. We deliver projects on a single contract — design, drawings, approvals and construction — so the team that drew it is the team that builds it. What works on a TR20 plot rarely works elsewhere — Perranuthnoe is a small AONB cliff-top village between Marazion and Praa Sands, with a sandy cove, twelfth-century church and a tight, well-preserved Conservation Area at its centre, with a building stock that leans toward 1960s coastal bungalows and Edwardian villas.
Perranuthnoe sits in West Cornwall — covering TR20 from Marazion, Goldsithney outward.

Why Perranuthnoe is its own job.
Conservation Area covers the village core and church; AONB extends across the parish. Isolated dwelling policy applies in the open countryside between settlements. That sets the scene before any design work begins. For full build package specifically, parts of Perranuthnoe sit within a designated Conservation Area, which means materials, fenestration and roof pitches all need to read sympathetically with the existing streetscape; the surrounding landscape falls inside the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so massing, height and landscape impact carry extra weight in any planning decision; coastal salt-laden air around Perranuthnoe drives detailing choices — fixings, render systems and timber treatments all need to be specified for exposure; Cornwall Council's Local Plan applies tighter tests to isolated rural dwellings here, so design rationale and policy fit need to be set out clearly from the outset. It's the kind of detail that decides whether a Perranuthnoe application gets approved at eight weeks or stalls in committee. The 1960s coastal bungalows that dominate Perranuthnoe (and continue out toward Marazion) set the tone for any full build package scheme here.
Planning note
Build delivery doesn't need planning, but planning conditions often dictate site setup, materials and working hours — we read every condition and build the programme around them.
What we focus on
Full Build considerations specific to Perranuthnoe.
01
Off-grid sites need their own water, drainage and power solutions designed and procured rather than assumed.
02
Weather windows on Cornish coastal sites are short — getting the building watertight before autumn matters more here than in central England.
03
Material lead times to Cornwall are longer than the M5 corridor; sequencing orders early protects the build programme.
04
Cornish trades are a tight community; using contractors who've worked together before saves weeks on programme and arguments on site.

Perranuthnoe Full Build — local questions answered.
- Do you handle the whole project from drawing to finish?
- Yes — that's the model. One contract from feasibility to handover, with design, regs and build all under our roof. No coordination gap between designer and contractor. In Perranuthnoe specifically, we'd start by checking the Conservation Area boundary before committing to a direction.
- What guarantees and aftercare do you offer?
- Standard twelve-month defects period, plus product and workmanship warranties on relevant elements. We're a Cornish business — you'll still find us in the same studio in five years' time.
- Are you insured?
- Public liability, employer's liability and contractor's all-risks cover are in place for every project, with certificates available before contract signing.
- Can you build from someone else's drawings?
- Yes, with a review. We'll happily build from approved drawings produced elsewhere, after a technical review to confirm the design holds up at construction stage.
- How do you handle changes during the build?
- Weekly client meetings, written change requests, costed and signed before work proceeds. No surprise invoices.
