Description

A residential development opportunity situated on High Street in the popular and well connected area of Cherry Hinton, Cambridge.

The site currently comprises a detached dwelling set within a generous residential plot with frontage onto High Street. Planning permission has been granted for the demolition of the existing property and the redevelopment of the site to provide a 2.5-storey nine bedroom, nine person large House in Multiple Occupation (Sui Generis) alongside a separate two bedroom dwelling, together with associated works.

The proposed scheme will create a substantial HMO building arranged across two and a half storeys, designed to provide nine individual bedrooms with shared living accommodation and associated facilities. In addition, the development includes the construction of a separate two bedroom residential dwelling positioned within the site, offering independent accommodation.

The proposal also includes associated landscaping, access arrangements and outdoor amenity space, creating a well considered residential scheme within an established neighbourhood setting.

Cherry Hinton is a well regarded suburb located to the east of Cambridge city centre, offering a range of everyday amenities including shops, schooling and recreational facilities. The area benefits from regular bus services along High Street and convenient access to Cambridge city centre, the railway station and the A14, making it a practical location for residents and commuters alike.

The planning permission (Ref: 25/01321/FUL) was approved by Cambridge City Council in February 2026.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 1.

Surface water

Medium to low risk (1 in 100 to 1 in 1000)
