Consultation for Strategic and Local Plan to start on 16 November 2026

Following approval at Cheltenham Borough Council, Gloucester City Council and Tewkesbury Borough Council, a six-week public consultation on the Strategic and Local Plan (SLP) will run from 16 November to 31 December, 2026. The proposed dates have been moved slightly so that the SLP councils can be certain all statutory consultees have received notice of the launch, following the Microsoft service disruption.

The full plan and supporting evidence is available to view on the dedicated SLP website. Residents can also sign-up via the website to be notified when the consultation starts.

The SLP is a long-term plan that will shape the area's future over the next 20 years. It sets out proposals for future growth, including new homes, jobs and infrastructure, while supporting communities, protecting the environment, and meeting future needs.
