What decides the value of building plots in Cambridgeshire
Permission
A plot with full permission is worth the most because building can start once conditions are met.
House size
The size and type of home the plot can take sets its value.
Access
Visibility splays and parking need room on smaller plots.
Local values
Plot values follow what a finished home would sell for locally.
Choosing how to sell

What England's rules mean for your land
Planning framework
Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.
Section 106 and CIL
Larger schemes often need a Section 106 agreement for affordable housing or contributions, and councils that have adopted the Community Infrastructure Levy charge it per square metre of new floorspace.
When the land isn't straightforward
The permission has lapsed
A new application is often straightforward if policy hasn't changed, and we can make that a condition of purchase.
The plot shares a drive
Shared access needs the right legal rights. Your solicitor will check the deeds.

Common questions
How much is a building plot worth?
It depends mostly on what the finished home would sell for, minus building costs and a profit margin. We'll show you how our figure is reached.
Can I sell a plot in my garden?
Yes. See our page on garden land, which covers the extra points to consider when splitting a garden.
Do I need to clear the plot before selling?
No. We buy sites as they are.
Do you buy land in Cambridgeshire?
Yes. We consider land across Cambridgeshire, from Peterborough to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
