DESCRIPTION
Land and buildings on the north side of Market Street, Whittlesey.

Title CB332781.

An exciting opportunity to acquire a development site with planning permission for 8 dwellings and 2 commercial units within the prominent town centre of Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire. The site extends to approximately 0.35 acres and currently comprises a terrace of buildings arranged along Market Street, including a mix of retail/commercial accommodation.

The site occupies a highly visible and accessible position along Market Street, which forms the principal shopping and service thoroughfare within Whittlesey.

The site is bounded by:
" North: Commercial Unit/ Queen Street Public car park.
" East: The Black Bull public house
" South: Frontage onto Market Street.
" West: Continuation of Market Street frontage with mixed use buildings.

Whittlesey is an established market town located approximately 6 miles east of Peterborough, benefitting from good connectivity via the A605, linking to the A1(M) and wider regional road network. The town also benefits from a railway station providing services to Peterborough, Cambridge and beyond, enhancing accessibility.

The site lies within the administrative area of Fenland District Council and benefits from planning permission for the erection of 4 x flats and 4 x terraced houses and 2 x retail units and cycle store following demolition of the existing buildings. The planning reference is F/YR25/0770/F and was granted on the 11th of February 2026. The mixed-use block containing 2 commercial units and 4 flats is proposed to front onto Market Street with the 4 remaining terraced houses and parking for whole scheme to be located to the rear.
