Is your land in Cambridgeshire a good fit?
- Plots between two houses in a village or town
- Sites within a settlement boundary
- Former garages, workshops or yards in a street
- Sites with an old outbuilding to demolish
- Village plots where small-scale infill is supported by policy
If you own an overgrown gap between houses, it may be worth much more as a plot than as a garden or yard.
The things that move our offer
Frontage width
Enough width for a home and its access shapes how much can be built.
Neighbours
Windows and gardens next door limit the size and position of the house.
Services
Infill sites usually have services close by, which helps value.
Heritage
Listed neighbours or conservation areas mean careful design.
Ways to sell this land
Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.

Planning and legal points for land in Cambridgeshire
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.
Heritage
Listed buildings and conservation areas are managed with Historic England and the council's conservation team.
Common problems, and how we handle them
The plot is in a conservation area
Good design is essential in conservation areas. We'll design to the street.
Part of the gap belongs to a neighbour
Combining land can make a better plot. We can approach the neighbour with you.
Useful to send us
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
Your questions answered
Is infill easier to get permission for?
Often, because it continues the existing street pattern. Policy varies by council, especially in villages.
Can you check the conservation area rules for me?
Yes. We look at the council's conservation area appraisal as part of our assessment.
Do I pay anything for your appraisal?
No. Our appraisal and offer are free and there's no obligation.
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.
