A joint Strategic and Local Plan (SLP) is currently in development for the districts of Cheltenham, Gloucester, and Tewkesbury. This plan aims to guide development decisions over the coming decades, balancing housing needs with sustainable growth. The Government has increased the housing target for the area by more than 20% from previous estimates, now requiring approximately 43,000 new homes across the three districts over the next 20 years.
