The Land to the South of High Street Streatley is let to a number of properties on the High Street under 999 years leases, beginning on 29 September 2010 and ending on 28 September 3009.

The following is a summary of the terms under which the Streatley Parish Council has let the Land to the South of High Street, Streatley. It deals only with land use and is not intended to be a summary of the Lease as a whole. These restrictions on land use have been imposed in order to protect land outside the village settlement boundary from development. It should be noted that there are some variations between the individual leases, for site-specific reasons.
