Description

Located in the serene village of Lower Lydbrook, within the scenic Forest of Dean, this former Tin Works site offers significant development potential. The area is well-connected via the B4234 road, with access to nearby public transport links for travel to Lydney and Gloucester. Currently earmarked for residential use under the Forest of Dean Local Plan, this site benefits from outline planning permission for the construction of 26 dwellings. An approved Reserved Matters application confirms plans for these open market homes without affordable housing obligations, enhancing its attractiveness to investors. Covering approximately 4.859 acres (1.966 hectares), the land also allows for necessary utility and service connections, providing a blank canvas for a viable development project. While there are existing public rights of way crossing the area, these can be considered as part of your development strategy. Potential buyers will need to assess local services and infrastructure connectivity but can expect minimal barriers to commencing their vision on this promising plot.
