Summary - Forrest Drive, Peterborough PE7 0LP
1 bed 1 bath Land
Design and build a substantial family home near Peterborough transport and schools.
Fully serviced plot with foundations/slab already laid
A fully serviced residential plot on Forrest Drive offering a rare chance to design and build your own family home. The site is level, fenced and has foundations/Concrete slab already in place, with utility access indicated — reducing early-stage works and shortening delivery time compared with a greenfield build.
Previously granted planning covered a ~142–145 sqm family house, though that permission has expired. The plot measures approximately 445 sqm (around 4,789 sq ft) and sits in a residential area with good access to Peterborough city centre, the train station, schools and local amenities. Nearby primary and secondary schools have generally good Ofsted ratings, useful for buyers planning a family move.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the planning consent is no longer active, so a new application will be required to proceed. The site is cleared but unmanaged in places — vegetation clearance, groundworks and checks on services and connections are needed before construction. The immediate area records higher-than-average crime, so security and boundary works may be sensible at an early stage.
This plot suits a buyer wanting to create a long-term family home or an investor prepared to manage planning and build processes. With foundations in place and utilities reportedly to the site, the plot conveys potential time and cost savings versus starting from scratch, provided buyers factor in planning re-application, site preparation and local context when budgeting.
