Description

SUMMARY
An opportunity to acquire a single building plot with outline planning permission situated in a village location.

DESCRIPTION
We are delighted to present this exciting parcel of land located to the rear of Bridge Road, Mepal. The opportunity is for a single plot benefiting from outline planning permission.

This freehold site currently benefits from a mixed-use classification, incorporating commercial and horticultural activities. Predominantly flat in nature and situated within a desirable village setting, the land presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking to create a new home in an attractive rural location.

Mepal is a well-regarded Cambridgeshire village, situated approximately 6 miles west of Ely and offering convenient access to Cambridge, Huntingdon and the wider road network via the A10 and A142. The village benefits from a strong sense of community and a range of local amenities, while its proximity to the surrounding Fenland countryside provides an appealing balance of rural living and connectivity.

The site benefits from outline planning permission for the subdivision of the land to create a self-build residential plot. Under planning reference 25/00421/OUT, permission was granted on 16th March 2026 for the creation of a single self-build dwelling (Plot 1), whilst retaining the remainder of the land for horticultural use. This presents an excellent opportunity for self-builders, developers or purchasers looking to construct a bespoke home in a sought-after village location.

Description
With planning permission already established and further potential for future enhancement, this site offers an attractive investment and development prospect.

For further information or to arrange a viewing, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
