LandDescription
A residential building plot on Hop Row in Haddenham, offered with full planning permission for a four-bedroom bungalow and new vehicular access. The approved scheme also includes parking, landscaping and boundary treatments, together with energy, sustainability and biodiversity measures.
Permission was granted by East Cambridgeshire District Council under application 26/00416/ful on 9 September 2026. Development is required to commence within three years of the permission date and remains subject to its conditions. The approved plans and planning documents are available for review, and prospective purchasers should check these and confirm the relevant requirements before proceeding.
The site is in an established village location within reach of Ely and nearby amenities. It may suit a builder, developer or self-build purchaser looking to deliver the consented single-storey home. The opportunity and build costs should be assessed against the approved drawings, site conditions and planning obligations.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
36out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a development plot rather than a renovation of an existing house: the photos show an overgrown vacant site, while the listing states that full planning permission has been granted for a four-bedroom bungalow, new access and parking. The approved single-storey layout gives a self-builder or developer a defined scheme to work from, with scope to create a new home and shape the landscaping and boundaries. The plot needs clearance and a substantial new-build programme, so this is a major project rather than a cosmetic refresh.
The overall WHOTS score is 36/100 (grade E), reflecting limited fundamentals and economics, alongside good location potential. The floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the £185,000 asking price alone does not establish whether the plot is cheap or dear. Check the consent, conditions and approved drawings carefully before proceeding.
Key opportunities
- Build the consented four-bedroom, single-storey home, using the approved drawings as a starting point for the project.
- Create the site layout, parking, access, boundaries and landscaping as part of a coordinated new-build scheme.
- The stated planning consent may save time compared with pursuing permission for a new dwelling from scratch; verify its conditions and approved documents.
Key risks
- An overgrown vacant plot and a complete bungalow build make this a substantial construction and site-clearance programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
- Confirm the planning permission, conditions, approved drawings and commencement deadline before purchase.
