Land for sale

Rance Pitch, Upton. St Leonards, Gloucester GL4

Situated off Birchall and Rance Lane (GL4 8AB), the land offers flexibility for a range of uses, ideal for buyers seeking investment land or strategic potential (subject to the usual planning consents put in place).

The land provides quiet countryside surroundings while remaining close to Gloucester’s amenities. Accessible road links to the A418, M5 and neighboring villages. The subject site is located within the jurisdiction of Stroud District Council. Planning policy is covered by the Stroud District Local Plan. In February 2024 and again in April 2025, the Inspectors wrote to the Council advising that the draft Local Plan should be withdrawn. The Council is now carefully considering its position, while the draft plan remains formally at the examination stage (as at June 2025) when the Local Development Scheme 2025-2029 was published. As of 2025, due to the reforming of the Local Plan process in England, the Council is obliged to commence preparation of a new Local Plan. It is anticipated that work on the new Local Plan will begin in Spring 2026. The preparation process will follow the new strict prescribed stages and timelines established by the Government's updated planning framework.

In terms of site specific policy, the land is located within an area designated under Core Policy CP15 'A Quality Living and Working Countryside' which sets out the requirements for proposals outside of settlement development limits. These details are prepared as a general guide only, and should not be relied upon as a basis to enter into a legal contract, or commit expenditure. An interested party should consult their own surveyor, solicitor or other professionals before committing themselves to any expenditure or other legal commitments.
