Planning committee

Decided by Cheltenham Planning Committee on 21 Aug 2025.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised permitting the apartments because the site is sustainable, the highway authority raised no objection and the benefits outweighed the impacts.
  • Residents and consultees raised concerns about parking, highway safety, overdevelopment, privacy, amenity space and the effect on the neighbourhood.
  • The committee voted six to one, with two abstentions, to permit the application.
