Cambridgeshire Planning Consultant

Unlocking potential across the Fens, Market Towns, and Rural Cambridgeshire.

At Cedar Planning, we provide specialist town planning advice to homeowners, farmers, and developers across the county. From converting agricultural barns in the Fens to expanding businesses in Huntingdon and Ely, our local knowledge ensures your project moves forward.

We understand that planning in Cambridgeshire is diverse. A project in the historic city of Ely faces very different challenges to a development on the Fenland soil of Wisbech. Our Chartered Town Planners navigate these local nuances for you.

• Cambridge: Heritage guidance and maximising the potential of your site.

• East Cambridgeshire: Expert guidance for developments in Ely and Soham, balancing growth with the protection of the countryside.

• Fenland: Specialist advice on flood risk constraints and other constraints affecting developments in March, Wisbech, and Chatteris.
