Planning
The site falls within the administrative area of the Forest of Dean District Council. Planning Policy is currently covered by the Allocations Plan, Cinderford & Northern Quarter and the Core Strategy which guides development across the district until 2026.

The Council has been progressing work on a new local plan. A strategy focused on dispersal of development around the existing and established settlements was agreed by Council in October 2023 to deliver 330 new dwellings per annum for the duration of the Local Plan period (2021- 2043). This strategy was subject to a Draft Local Plan (Reg 18) consultation which ended in August 2024 and it was envisaged that the publication (Reg 19) version of the plan would be made available for formal representations in Spring 2025.

However, the recent Government consultation on the proposed changes to the NPPF included a new standard methodology for housing requirements. These proposed changes have now been confirmed (Dec 2024) and command a significant uplift in the housing requirement to 600 new dwellings per annum. A consultation on Options to deliver the additional housing requirements ended in September 2025 and the revised draft plan (Reg 18) was published on 4th February with the Councils preffered options inlcuding the creation of a one or more new settlements.

Draft Residential Allocation -
As part of the regulaton 18 consultation, the land has been allocated under par of Policy RLP.71 - Land to North of Beach Lane, Bromesberrow. This allocation has outlined part of the land for approximately 25 new dwellings.
