Whitemoor Road, March

SUMMARY
.

DESCRIPTION
An opportunity to acquire a brownfield redevelopment site with the benefit of full planning permission for the erection of a single detached dwelling, located on Whitemoor Road, March. The site was formerly occupied by the Whitemoor Road Function Rooms, a well-established venue that has since become derelict following fire damage and prolonged vacancy. Planning consent has been secured for a high-quality replacement dwelling, with a design that reflects a barn-style aesthetic incorporating timber boarding to respect the semi-rural character of the area. The approved scheme acknowledges the surrounding pattern of development, which includes a small cluster of residential properties and a nearby barn conversion, creating an attractive and cohesive setting for a new family home.

The proposed development includes a thoughtfully designed detached dwelling with provision for a three-bay garage and additional parking, together with a new vehicular access utilising an historic entrance point, while the existing access arrangement to the adjacent mobile home is retained. The site offers flexibility for purchasers to implement their own landscaping scheme, subject to personal requirements, alongside practical arrangements for waste storage and collection in line with local authority policy. Although the site lies within Flood Zone 3, planning has been supported by the necessary Flood Risk Assessment and exception testing, providing a clear pathway for development. Overall, the site represents an attractive and straightforward opportunity for a self-builder or developer to deliver a bespoke home within an established semi-rural location, with consent already in place and strong contextual justification for residential use. The planning consent was granted on November the 29th 2023 under the reference F/YR23/0340/F. This application is viewable on the Fenland District Council planning portal.

Agents note
It is believed that there is asbestos and cladding within the roof.

There is also a right of access for the neighbours to their property by driving along the edge of the boundary.
