Lower Lydbrook, situated in the scenic Forest of Dean, is a picturesque
village with a distinct charm. Encircled by natural surroundings and
steeped in a deep industrial heritage, the village has evolved into a
tight-knit community. Home to quaint local businesses, Lower Lydbrook
offers an inviting environment for both residents and visitors, establishing
itself as a great place to live within the expansive Forest of Dean.

LOCATION
Lower Lydbrook, nestled in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, is a charming
village. The B4234 road runs through Lower Lydbrook, providing connections to the
broader Forest of Dean District and beyond. While the village lacks a railway station
of its own, there are convenient transportation services available that link to the
railway stations in Lydney and Gloucester, facilitating travel to and from the area.
OLD TIN WORKS DEVELOPMENT SITE
The development site was historically home to the Tin Works  at Lower Lydbrook.
The site is allocated within the current Forest of Dean Local Plan (2006 - 2026)
under the Allocations Plan reference AP92 and is also a proposed rollover allocation
in the draft Regulation 18 emerging Forest of Dean Local Plan.
PLANNING
Outline planning permission was secured on the site - Planning Application
Reference P1303/13/OUT, dated 17th July 2014. The planning consent provides
for 'Outline application for the erection of 26 dwellings with ancillary works.'
A Reserved Matters application was approved under planning reference
P1165/17/APP dated 16th January 2024.  The planning consent provides for the
provision of 26 open market dwellings without any Section 106 contributions. The
development is not expected to deliver affordable housing due to a viability case
having been presented as part of the outline application process.
