What land with planning permission we want near Cirencester

For consented land around Cirencester, the first things we read are the decision notice, the conditions and any legal agreement attached to the permission. Cirencester is in Gloucestershire, about 15 miles south-east of Gloucester. Nearby places include Stroud, Cheltenham and Swindon.

  • Outline permissions, full permissions and approved reserved matters
  • Permissions that are close to their time limit to start work
  • Consents with a Section 106 agreement or Community Infrastructure Levy liability
  • Larger consented schemes where the owner does not want to build

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.

Before we make an offer in Cirencester

Conditions

Pre-commencement conditions, such as drainage or ecology details, must be dealt with before work can lawfully start.

Planning obligations

Section 106 contributions, affordable housing and any Community Infrastructure Levy all affect what the land is worth to a builder.

Title and access

Consent does not cure title problems, so rights of access and covenants still need checking.

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 57 miles from Cirencester, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
