Approved on 22 Aug 2025 · Committee Decision · Last checked 14 Oct 2026
Planning committee
Decided by Cheltenham Planning Committee on 21 Aug 2025.
Approved unanimously
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised permitting the replacement stable because it would preserve local green space and landscape character while improving the site’s appearance.
- The parish council objected, while a landscape architect supported the smaller, lower building and its relationship with the surrounding landscape.
- Members unanimously voted to permit the application, subject to conditions.
