Cheltenham Borough Council has received several planning applications that involve listed buildings and properties within conservation areas across the town. The 21-day public consultation period began on 24 September 2026, allowing residents and interested parties to review and comment on the proposals.
These applications cover sites primarily within the GL50 and GL52 postcode areas. Full details of each application can be accessed through the council’s online planning portal or by visiting the Municipal Offices during normal office hours. For those without internet access, free facilities are available at local libraries.
The council encourages anyone with concerns or potential impacts from the proposed developments to submit clear, planning-related comments supported by relevant evidence. Representations must be made within the 21-day consultation window starting 24 September 2026.

When considering applications involving listed buildings and conservation areas, key factors include the impact on the heritage significance and setting, the scale, design, and materials in relation to surrounding structures, residential amenity aspects such as privacy and noise, access and parking arrangements, and considerations for lighting and signage. The duration of use for commercial or community activities is also reviewed.
Decisions on these applications will be made by planning officers or the planning committee of Cheltenham Borough Council, following national legislation and local policy for listed building consent.
Residents living near or within the GL50 and GL52 postcode areas are advised to review proposals relevant to their communities and contribute their feedback within the consultation timeframe.
