A rare, large freehold development plot on Chapel Lane with outline planning approved for seven detached and semi‑detached homes (Ref: 16/00024/OUT). All planning conditions have been discharged and mains drainage/storm drainage are supplied to each plot boundary, making this a near‑ready scheme for a developer or local builder. The site sits in the attractive village of Wicken, close to Wicken Fen and village amenities, about 10 miles from Cambridge and 5 miles from Ely.
The seller has completed soil testing with inert results and holds a CIL tax credit of approximately 685 sq m (saving circa £96,000). Purchasers must take full responsibility for the access road and service connections to each plot; the seller offers to complete those works for an additional £150,000. Estimated gross development value (GDV) is approximately £2,700,000.
The land includes a derelict structure/barn and will be sold as seen. Broadband speeds are fast and the area is affluent with low flood risk, but mobile signal is only average and the local neighbourhood is an ageing rural community. Phase 2 potential is mentioned but would require separate planning consent.
This opportunity suits investors, small developers or builders seeking village edge plots with planning in place. Consideration should be given to access and service costs, site clearance, and the additional optional seller works when calculating viability.
