A rare 0.6-acre freehold building plot on the desirable east edge of Soham, offered with lapsed outline permission for two detached bungalows (ref: 22/01427/OUT). The site sits close to local shops, schools and leisure facilities, with Ely c.7 miles and A14 c.4.5 miles — attractive for small-scale residential development or an investor looking to secure land in a well-served town fringe location.
Outline consent has lapsed, so buyers should be prepared to reapply or vary the previous scheme. Services and detailed site surveys are not confirmed in the provided information; interested parties must carry out their own due diligence with East Cambridgeshire District Council and statutory consultees before bidding.
The plot is sold freehold by livestream auction; bidders should note the sale conditions: auction fees (administration and buyer’s premium of £1,200 each, inc. VAT) payable on exchange and any disbursements set out in the legal pack. There is no flood risk recorded and broadband and mobile signals are reported as fast and excellent respectively, supporting modern home occupier expectations.
This opportunity suits developers, small housebuilders or investors seeking a countryside-edge plot with clear access potential and close proximity to an Outstanding secondary school. The council planning history provides a useful starting point, but the lapsed consent and auction sale process mean this is best for buyers comfortable with securing statutory approvals and transacting at auction.
