New housing in Stroud District Council
We read Stroud District Council's planning register every day. We hold 18,373 of its planning applications going back to 2015, and 100 of those made in the last 12 months are for new homes.
It delivered 85% of the homes it needed in the 2025 Housing Delivery Test, below 95%, so it must publish an action plan to speed up delivery.
