What redundant buildings we want near Huntingdon
Redundant buildings in Huntingdon often sit in the heart of things, close to shops and transport, which can make them strong residential sites. In Cambridgeshire, Huntingdon sits about 16 miles north-west of Cambridge; St Ives and St Neots are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings within towns and villages
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
Cambridgeshire combines the fast-growing Cambridge area and Peterborough with Fenland market towns such as Wisbech, March and Ely and the towns of St Neots, Huntingdon and St Ives. A Green Belt surrounds Cambridge, while much of the north lies in the low-lying Fens, where flood zone status is often the deciding factor. Typical sites include edge-of-village land, former agricultural yards and larger strategic land promoted for new communities.
What decides whether a site in Huntingdon works
Community value
Pubs and community buildings may be listed as assets of community value or protected by policy.
Building condition
Structure, layout and light decide whether conversion makes sense.
Parking and amenity
Homes need outdoor space, bins and parking where the council expects it.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 74 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Cambridgeshire
My building is listed. Is that a problem?
Not necessarily, but it means listed building consent as well as planning permission, and design must respect the building's significance.
Do you buy buildings that need demolition?
Yes, where redevelopment is the better option and the planning position supports it.
Is Huntingdon too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 74 miles from Huntingdon, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Huntingdon assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
