Most Calstock sites involve some combination of: narrow lanes that limit lorry size, a steep approach that affects plant choice, a Tamar Valley AONB designation that influences material selection, and a railway line that has its own consultation regime for nearby works.

For a recent project we worked through each of those at feasibility and the take-off carried explicit allowances for them. The client knew, before they bought the property, that their barn conversion was going to cost more than an equivalent build in suburban Plymouth — and why.

Calstock is worth it. The pricing just has to be honest about what worth-it costs.
