Just found a link to planning permission given to this place.
The Huntingdonshire District Council has finally granted planning Permission for residential development at Houghton Grange, nearly ten years after the owner the Biotechnology & Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) first promoted the site for housing.
The former poultry research station is situated on the south side of Houghton Road to the west of St Ives, and contains 18,960 square metres of laboratory and research buildings, including Grade II Listed gatehouses and the Listed Grange building, within a parkland setting of protected trees. Since the relocation of the research work to Compton in Berkshire in the late 1980’s the site has stood empty.
The rest of the info is here.

Just found more info on whats happening
The former Poultry Research Establishment site at Houghton Road, St Ives is to be sold for housing development. The site has a gross area of 28 acres of which 12.84 acres are developable, with the remainder being landscaped grounds and open fields. Located just outside St Ives, to the west of the Golf Club, the opportunity is being marketed by St Neots based Chartered Surveyors and Planning Consultants D H Barford + Co.
The site is being sold with the benefit of planning permission for a high quality housing scheme benefiting from a superb landscaped environment overlooking the Ouse Valley. The centre piece of the development will be the restored and refurbished Houghton Grange, a Grade II Listed Building providing an opportunity for conversion to residential apartments, hotel, restaurant or office use.
