Allocated and promoted land we are looking for in Dursley
Around Dursley, allocated sites and land put forward to the council are usually the furthest along, so they can often move faster than land at an earlier stage. Sitting about 14 miles south of Gloucester, Dursley is within Gloucestershire, with Stroud and Yate close by.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
Gloucestershire, as used here, includes the Bristol fringe towns of Kingswood and Yate as well as Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Tewkesbury and Cirencester. Green Belt lies between Cheltenham and Gloucester and around the Bristol edge, while the Cotswolds, Wye Valley and Malvern Hills National Landscapes cover much of the countryside. Sites typically include edge-of-town fields, village infill, farm buildings and former employment land along the M5.
What decides whether a site in Dursley works
Plan stage
An adopted allocation carries more weight than a draft one or a call-for-sites submission.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 63 miles from Dursley, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Gloucestershire
Is there an equivalent of a call for sites in Wales?
Yes. Welsh councils run candidate site stages when preparing or reviewing their Local Development Plans.
Do you buy part of an allocation?
Yes. Where an allocation is split between owners, we can buy or take an option on one part and work with the others.
Is Dursley too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 63 miles from Dursley, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Dursley?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
