What redundant buildings we want near Dursley
We are interested in buildings around Dursley that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. Sitting about 14 miles south of Gloucester, Dursley is within Gloucestershire, with Stroud and Yate close by.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
Flood risk from the Severn and its tributaries is a defining constraint around Gloucester and Tewkesbury, and sites near the tidal estuary need careful assessment. The M5 corridor between Gloucester and Cheltenham, and towns with railway stations such as Stroud and Yate, attract the most housing interest.
What decides whether a site in Dursley works
Community value
Pubs and community buildings may be listed as assets of community value or protected by policy.
Prior approval (England)
Some changes of use can be made through permitted development with prior approval.
Parking and amenity
Homes need outdoor space, bins and parking where the council expects it.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
