A planning application has been submitted to Tewkesbury Borough Council for the development of up to six family-sized homes on green belt land in Staverton, Gloucestershire. The proposed site, covering approximately 0.1 hectares, is located just south of the B4063 Gloucester Road, adjacent to an unused access point for the Ramada by Wyndham hotel and close to the M5 motorway.
The development aims to provide spacious homes featuring generous gardens and off-road parking. The design intends to complement the local housing character, likely utilizing red brick and traditional window styles, though detailed design considerations will be finalized during the technical approval stage.
Strategically positioned less than two miles from both Gloucester and Cheltenham, the site benefits from excellent connectivity. A nearby bus stop on the B4063 offers frequent routes to both towns, while the area forms part of the Gloucester to Cheltenham Cycleway Scheme, promoting sustainable transport options. Following improvements completed in January 2023, such as the M5 overbridge linking Staverton to Arle Court Roundabout, residents will enjoy enhanced pedestrian and cycling access to Cheltenham, alongside regular bus services including the popular 94 Gold route.

The planning proposal emphasizes vehicle safety with sufficient space for cars to enter and exit the site in forward gear. With key amenities like supermarkets, medical facilities, and schools accessible within a short walk or cycle, the development aims to meet the needs of modern family living in a well-connected green belt setting.
