Two brownfield development sites are currently available through Cheffins providing a profitable opportunity for housebuilders in both Cambridge city centre and Histon.
In Histon, there is a 1.12 acre site of development land, situated just four miles from the city centre. The site has outline planning permission for 32 flats, including four live-work units, with 40 per cent affordable homes. The site is located at Station Yard and is within easy commuting distance of Cambridge and adjacent to the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway. The proposed scheme will include a mix of one and two bedroom flats, arranged over five separate blocks. Cheffins is inviting offers by midday on Thursday 18th November.

In Cambridge city centre, there is a 0.44 acre development site with full planning consent for five houses and associated landscaping, presenting an opportunity to create low density and high quality homes on Chesterton High Street. The development will deliver a mix of three and four bedroom homes, with private parking, cycle storage and gardens. Offers are invited on this site by midday Monday 6th December.

Maxwell Fahie from Cheffins comments:
“Cambridge and the surrounding area has a significant lack of housing and these two exceptional development sites provide a profitable opportunity for housebuilders, both in sought-after Cambridge locations. Quality development sites with planning consent are hard to come by in the local area, and as the government announced additional funding for brownfield schemes in the Autumn Budget last week, we expect these types of opportunities to become increasingly sought after by both national and local housebuilders. The Chesterton site is an unique prospect, with full planning permission already in place within this busy and popular part of Cambridge city centre. In Histon, this site at Station Yard is central to the village and is in a good location, only within minutes of Cambridge.”
