Jonathan and Kieron provide a comprehensive project update on their latest major development: Luxstowe House in Liskeard. They detail the acquisition and planning journey behind transforming this 1831 Grade II listed building—which has historical ties to the founders of Barclays Bank—into a 34-apartment residential complex. The discussion covers the specific challenges of listed building planning applications, the strategic value of hosting community open days to dispel local rumors, and the long-term realities of property development timelines. KEY TAKEAWAYS Historical Significance: Luxstowe House is an 1831 Grade II listed manor that served as a World War II staging base, an Italian POW camp, and council chambers before being acquired for residential conversion. Navigating Planning Constraints: The team initially considered Class MA permitted development rights, but the building's listed status and the positioning of a 1980s extension on the same curtilage necessitated a full planning application. Project Scope and Phasing: The development is strategically split into two phases: an initial soft strip and conversion of the modern extension into 22 apartments, followed by the conversion of the historic manor house into 12 apartments. Community Engagement: Hosting a site open day allowed the developers to address wild local rumors, showcase their architectural plans directly to neighbors, and build vital community support for the project. Development Timelines: Property development is a long-term commitment; acquiring the Luxstowe site, navigating the pre-application process, and submitting the full planning application took nearly two years of continuous effort. BEST MOMENTS "It's definitely not get rich quick. It's not something that you're going to get a development that's going to pay you out in 90 days or something like that." "Didn't you tell me he's one of the forerunners of Barclays? ... That's quite cool, knowing that." "Once you put your head above parapet, you might get shot at. But actually, it was really good. It was nice to meet the locals, meet the neighbours." "You've got to go through the journey, haven't you? You know, there are steps and stages to this to make sure you get it right."
