This substantial 0.67 hectare (1.65 acre) site sits directly off Bream High Street, offering a rare village-centre redevelopment opportunity within the Forest of Dean. The parcel is allocated for redevelopment in the Forest of Dean Local Plan (AP82) and previously had planning consent on part of the site for eight semi‑detached dwellings, giving a useful precedent for residential reuse.
The site comprises a large gravel compound, hardstanding, an aged single‑storey industrial/former clubhouse building and a sloping grassed field with mature trees to the rear. It adjoins existing residential cul‑de‑sacs and backs onto open countryside, giving scope for schemes that capitalise on both village convenience and attractive rural outlooks. Nearby proposals for a new clubhouse and community facilities on adjacent land strengthen the local community offer.
The existing building is in poor condition with mossed roofing and vegetation ingress; significant refurbishment or full demolition is likely. The plot is offered on a Conditional Subject to Planning basis — suitable for housebuilders, developers or investors prepared to progress a planning application. Practical advantages include direct High Street access, excellent mobile signal, fast broadband potential and an affluent, low‑risk flood location.
Potential buyers should allow for site clearance, remediation of the existing structure and full planning costs. The site’s allocation and previous partial consent reduce some planning uncertainty, but any scheme will be dependent on obtaining fresh consent and meeting local policy requirements.
