Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Huntingdon
Development Land Wanted buys commercial and industrial sites in Huntingdon and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
Older commercial and industrial land within towns is often better suited to homes than to modern business. We are interested in units, yards and estates where redevelopment for housing is realistic.

What commercial and industrial sites we want near Huntingdon
In Huntingdon, industrial land that has drifted out of use can often be reimagined as homes, subject to the council's view on employment land. In Cambridgeshire, Huntingdon sits about 16 miles north-west of Cambridge; St Ives and St Neots are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Commercial land that is vacant or underused
- Sites with tenants on short leases or approaching breaks
- Builders' yards, depots and storage land
- Garage, workshop and showroom sites
Water supply and wastewater capacity have been recurring issues for growth around Cambridge, and Fenland sites usually need careful flood risk evidence. Away from the city, small sites on the edges of villages and market towns along the A14, A10 and A1 corridors are a common source of new housing land.
Checks we make on commercial and industrial sites in Huntingdon
Employment land protection
Councils often protect business land; evidence of marketing or lack of demand can matter.
Leases
Tenancies and their protection affect when the site can be redeveloped.
Permitted development (England)
Some changes from commercial to residential use can be made through prior approval rather than a full application.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 74 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Huntingdon ask
Do I need to market the site first?
Not to sell to us. Marketing evidence can, however, support a planning case for change of use.
Is permitted development an option?
In England, some commercial-to-residential changes can use prior approval. Whether it applies depends on the use, the building and local restrictions.

Yes. We buy commercial and industrial sites in Huntingdon and throughout Cambridgeshire, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.

Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
