Housing Need
• The Council is required to identify enough suitable land to provide housing for 5 years. It has recently been confirmed at a planning appeal at ‘Cam’, that Stroud District Council (DC) have 4 years supply and are also required to provide an additional 20% buffer.
• Stroud District Council have also undertaken a study which shows that there is an annual need of approximately 570 affordable houses for people throughout the Stroud District. (Housing Need Assessment 2010 (Stroud DC)).
• It is clear that there is a substantial shortage of housing to meet the present and future needs of the community within the district of Stroud.

Visual Analysis The site lies on pastoral fields to the east of Leonard Stanley and west of Kings Stanley. The existing mature trees along the southern boundary provide a strong green edge to the site.
There are medium distance views south towards the Cotswolds Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) that should be considered within the design. The design should consider views towards the site from the 2 ridge albeit long distance views. 1

Historic Maps
The historic maps below show the proposed site in the context of the growth of The Stanleys over approximately the last 110 years. Prior to 1954 the maps clearly show relatively little significant growth, with both Leonard Stanley and Kings Stanley historic cores visible to the west and east of the site. The 1980 map shows the growth of the two villages to the north, with the addition of residential dwellings on Church Street and St. George’s Avenue. By 1980, the villages appear as one settlement.
