Freehold site with full planning consent for three‑storey Class E laboratory
A substantial freehold commercial plot with full planning consent (DC/18/0387/FUL) for a three‑storey Class E laboratory/office building. The scheme includes provision for around 66 on‑site car spaces and is located on a modern business park adjacent to established healthcare occupiers, providing immediate relevance for medical, life‑science or specialist office uses. Base‑build construction can be completed in approximately six months, allowing a quick route to occupation or rental income once works commence.
The property benefits from excellent road links to Cambridge research parks and Addenbrooke’s Hospital, and sits within easy driving distance of key science and hospital clusters. The site is new build, freehold, and offers flexible internal layouts for lab, clinical or office fit‑outs. Landscaping, parking and a clear planning position are all positive elements for investors or operators seeking a ready development plot with permitted use.
Buyers should note material considerations: the scheme requires completion of the base build and tenant fit‑out, so additional capital expenditure will be needed beyond purchase. The surrounding area records above‑average crime and is classified locally as a constrained rental market, which may affect certain occupier types. Broadband speeds are average, and the wider socio‑economic profile reflects modest local education rates compared with Cambridge.
This is a practical opportunity for an investor, developer or specialist occupier wanting a freehold life‑sciences/medical facility with planning certainty and strong proximity to Cambridge’s research and healthcare ecosystem. The plot’s size and parking provision offer scope for a sizeable single occupier or multiple lettable floors subject to fit‑out choices.
