Approved on 6 May 2026 · Committee Decision · Last checked 10 Oct 2026
Planning committee
Decided by Cheltenham Planning Committee on 23 Apr 2026.
Approved unanimously
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the revised scheme preserved the conservation area’s significance and had no overriding highway, amenity, ecology, tree or flood-risk concerns.
- Objectors raised concerns about heritage harm, lost public access and the precedent for further development in The Park.
- The committee voted unanimously to permit the application subject to a section 106 obligation.
