The Cheltenham Plan: Over 11,500 new homes to be built in Cheltenham by 2031.

Jack ArchiveComments(113)

Cheltenham is set to embark on its largest expansion since the Second World War if final plans are approved early next year as part of the ‘Cheltenham Plan’.

The proposals, centred around making sure Cheltenham is ready for the future, aims to provide enough housing, employment and infrastructure to cope with the rising population over the next two decades. The plans also aim to help young people wanting to stay in the town but are struggling due to high house prices and crushing rent costs.

Cheltenham Borough Council, alongside The JCS (Joint Core Strategy of Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury) have earmarked the development of 35,000 new homes to be built in these areas before 2031. 11,632 new homes are planned for Cheltenham alone in order to prepare for the future of the town and the increased population by providing more affordable housing.

Developments across Cheltenham and beyond range in size and economic value. Planned sites include a new secondary school in Leckhampton in the south of the town and will provide 900 new school places, along with 250 new homes and an upgrade to an industrial park. However, work on building the new school has not started on the site on Kidnappers Lane.

Work is yet to begin on the site in Leckhampton

Economic and employability opportunities will increase, due to the development of the cyber park in North West Cheltenham near GCHQ and upgrade the economic infrastructure in the area.

The plans also include planned residential areas for travellers. Two sites have been earmarked by the JCS. These sites are Castle Dream Stud on Mill Lane in Charlton Kings. The second site is adjacent to that site.

Across Gloucestershire, similar plans are underway. In order to prepare for the future and make sure there is sufficient infrastructure in place, all Gloucestershire councils have put in place their own version of the ‘Cheltenham Plan’. In total, over 60,000 new homes will be built in the county before the year 2031. Despite some plans starting earlier than others, Cheltenham Borough Council are currently in second last place following the release of their latest figures, as you can see in the thread below.

Cheltenham Borough Council

Of the 11,632 new houses planned, only 3858 homes have been accounted for (built or have planning permission). This means there are another 7,059 to be built (as of June 2019). That means only 33% of their target have been built. Only Gloucester City Council have a worse record with only 3993 homes completed out of a target of 13,287. That means they have only completed 30% of their planned new homes (as of September 2019).

On the other hand, Forest of Dean District Council are well in front, having completed 67.8% of their planned 5,162 new homes by 2031.

However, MP for Cheltenham Alex Chalk said the plan is necessary.

‘I am for it, because if you don’t have a plan, as we have learnt, nature abhors a vacuum.

You have to have a plan, and one of the frustrations was that it took so long to happen’.

However, Mr Chalk also called for the plan to be more sophisticated.

‘We can be much more sophisticated now, with Garden villages, which have a better balance between the urban and the natural, we can have much more healthy areas, and cycle’.

He also called for better travel connections, making it easier for those wanting to travel in an active way like cycling and hit out at original plans to merge Cheltenham and Gloucester.

‘ You have to have a plan, but you’ve got to make sure that the plan is the right one. We shouldn’t be pushing for a Los Angeles style urban sprawl where Cheltenham and Gloucester met up, but instead think where we can boost the local economy’.

‘Let us take this opportunity to say that active travel has got to be built into it so you are not having to retrofit at great expense.

Progress for the Cheltenham Plan has been slow. Building for the new 900 pupil school has not started, but plans remain in place for the school to be built by 2021 if plans are approved early next year.

However, some of the plan has been criticised as some of the Green Belt land has been earmarked for new homes. The land, at Arle nurseries in the north east of the town has been marked as the area where houses will be built on this green belt area.

Cheltenham Borough Council has earmarked almost £70,000 to carry out the planning and consultation process.

If plans are approved early next year by Cheltenham Borough Council, work on the plan will begin in 2020. The project is planned to be completed by 2031.

  16. Good post right here. One thing I would like to say is most professional domains consider the Bachelors Degree as the entry level requirement for an online degree. Though Associate Certification are a great way to get started on, completing your current Bachelors presents you with many doors to various occupations, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Diploma Programs available by institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another thing is that many brick and mortar institutions present Online variations of their diplomas but usually for a greatly higher charge than the firms that specialize in online course programs.

  21. I have really learned new things through the blog post. One other thing I have seen is that usually, FSBO sellers will certainly reject you actually. Remember, they can prefer not to use your companies. But if you actually maintain a reliable, professional relationship, offering aid and being in contact for about four to five weeks, you will usually have the capacity to win an interview. From there, a listing follows. Many thanks

  36. I oversee a vape store web directory and we have had a listing from a vape shop in the USA that also markets CBD goods. A Calendar month later on, PayPal has written to use to claim that our account has been restricted and have requested us to take away PayPal as a payment method from our vape store submission site. We do not offer CBD items like CBD oil. We simply provide promotion and marketing services to CBD firms. I have visited Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Well known Health Retail store and if you take a close peek, you will see that they offer for sale a pretty considerable range of CBD items, primarily CBD oil and they also happen to take PayPal as a payment solution. It emerges that PayPal is employing double standards to different firms. As a result of this restriction, I can no longer accept PayPal on my CBD-related internet site. This has constricted my payment possibilities and right now, I am intensely dependent on Cryptocurrency payments and direct bank transfers. I have checked with a barrister from a Magic Circle law office in London and they said that what PayPal is undertaking is entirely against the law and inequitable as it should be applying a consistent criterion to all firms. I am still to consult with one more attorney from a US law firm in London to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the USA. For the time being, I would be highly appreciative if anybody here at targetdomain could offer me with different payment processors/merchants that work with CBD companies.
