Huntingdonshire Planning Consultants
Huntingdonshire in Cambridgeshire includes Huntingdon, St Ives, and St Neots. Planning focuses on historic towns, market villages, and sensitive residential growth. We can advise and support residential, commercial, and conversion projects throughout Huntingdonshire.
In the last year Huntingdonshire decided 1,053 applications which is just above the national average of 988. The approval rate was 91% (roughly equal to the national average of 88%) and 46% of applications were decided on time, (significantly below the national average of 59%). Stats updated March 2026 from gov. sources. See how Huntingdonshire performs relative to other LPAs in our LPA hub.
"We love helping clients win Planning Permission in Huntingdonshire"
Development in the Open Countryside
Huntingdonshire includes areas classed as Open Countryside, generally encompassing land beyond settlements and Green Belt zones, often used for agriculture or left as natural landscapes. Development in these areas is tightly controlled, with standard residential proposals rarely permitted.
Huntingdonshire contains the Fenlands and river valleys near St Ives and Ramsey, where flat, open farmland and wetland habitats are sensitive to built development.
One of the top reasons poorly prepared proposals in the Open Countryside are refused is that they fail to demonstrate a policy-supported need. To minimise that risk with bespoke advice contact us here.
