Description

SUMMARY
The site extends to approximately 1 acre and benefits from full planning permission for residential development. Access is taken directly from Upwell Road via an upgraded vehicular access, incorporating appropriate visibility splays to ensure safe and convenient ingress and egress.

DESCRIPTION
Location
March is a well-established market town offering a comprehensive range of day-to-day amenities, including supermarkets, independent shops, schools, healthcare facilities and leisure provision.

The town is well connected, with a railway station providing direct services to Cambridge, Ely and London (via Peterborough), enhancing its appeal to both commuters and local occupiers. The site itself occupies a convenient position on Upwell Road, within easy reach of the town centre and surrounding services.

Site Description
Outline planning permission (ref: F/YR20/1138/O) was granted on 14th May 2021 for the development of up to 6 dwellings. This was subsequently refined through a Reserved Matters approval (ref: F/YR23/1070/RM), granted on 28th January 2025, which secures consent for a reduced scheme of 4 detached dwellings.

The approved scheme comprises four detached, single-storey bungalows arranged around a shared internal access, with associated parking, turning areas and private amenity space.

Each dwelling is of a consistent design, extending to approximately 1,366 sq ft, together with an integral garage of circa 312 sq ft. The accommodation is well planned, comprising three bedrooms (including an en-suite to the master bedroom), a separate living room, and an open-plan kitchen/dining area.
