Where March sits
March (PE15) sits in OS grid square TL49, about 14 miles east of Peterborough. Sites between here and Primrose Place or Whittlesey are just as much of interest to us.
Flat arable fenland in the north contrasts with a fast-growing Cambridge area in the south, where the Cambridge green belt surrounds the city.

What makes building plots near March worth an offer
- Plots with a road frontage or a private drive
- Plots where a previous permission has lapsed
- Corner plots and end-of-terrace side plots
- Plots that need a demolition first
Single plots are often overlooked by larger developers. We buy them because small sites matter and because our aim is to build on them.
What decides the value of building plots near March
House size
The size and type of home the plot can take sets its value.
Services
Connections to water, power and sewers can cost more than you'd expect.
Access
Visibility splays and parking need room on smaller plots.
Self-build exemptions
Some plots carry obligations or exemptions linked to self-build that we check.

Rules that apply in England
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.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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.

Your questions answered
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.
Do I need to clear the plot before selling?
No. We buy sites as they are.
What happens to any CIL on the plot?
Where CIL applies, it's usually paid by whoever builds. Some self-build exemptions exist, which we check.
Do you buy land in March?
Yes. We consider land in and around March and across Cambridgeshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
