<strong></strong> <strong></strong> This development plot, measuring approximately half an acre, has planning permission for seven houses, each with its own garden and off-road parking. There would be two pairs of semi-detached properties and a terrace of three homes, all set within a well-appointed village in the Forest of Dean. <br/><br/>Location<br/><br/>Ruspidge lies on the eastern fringe of the Royal Forest of Dean - a place of timeless beauty and untamed nature. These woodlands offer 24,000 acres of magnificent countryside, award-winning picnic sites, family cycle routes and gorgeous walks, as well as a huge selection of outdoor pursuits. <br/><br/>The village of Ruspidge offers a convenience store, a recreation ground, and a public house - The New Inn. The nearby town of Cinderford, approximately one mile away, gives a wealth of amenities such as three primary schools, a high school, a college, plus various supermarkets, shops, public houses, leisure facilities and the Forest of Dean Community Hospital.<br/><br/>The Plans at a Glance<br/><br/>The properties would be a mixture of 2x two-bedroom homes and 5x three-bedroom homes, all of which would boast delightful views over the surrounding wooded hills. <br/><br/>Presently, the plot is surrounded by a large stone wall, affording privacy and securty. Once constructed, the semi-detached properties would all have three-bedrooms and be set on three levels; the ground floor would accommodate an entrance hall, cloakroom, kitchen and the master bedroom with an en-suite shower room. The lower ground floor would feature a sitting room. The top floor would house two additional double bedrooms and a family bathroom. <br/><br/>The terraced properties would be arranged over two storeys; two would be two-bedroom properties, and the largest end-terrace home would have three bedrooms. Of the two-bedroom houses, each would have a ground floor complete with a reception hall, a cloakroom, a kitchen and a sitting room. The top floor would include two double bedrooms plus a family bathroom. The three-bedroom property, meanwhile, would have a ground floor with a reception hall, a built-in cupboard, a kitchen and a sitting room. The top floor would feature a master bedroom with an en-suite shower room, two additional double bedrooms, and a family bathroom. <br/><br/>All homes would have access to a mains gas, electricity, water and drainage supply. There would also be fibre broadband (FTTC) and telephone line availability. There would, however, be the potential to upgrade the internet to a high-speed fibre direct to the premises (FTTP) service, as this has been done at the neighbouring property, Forest Lodge. <br/><br/>The entrance into the development would be from Buckshaft Road, but there would be another private road leading to the three rear properties. <br/><br/>The Planning Inspectorate granted permission for the development (AP0045/24/REF) on August 27 2025, upon an appeal. <br/><br/>
