Planning approved for up to 90 new homes close to Cheltenham

Wain Estates has secured outline planning permission for a new residential development of up to 90 homes in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. 

The 10.23-acre site off Badgeworth Lane is situated next to the village of Shurdington which is to the south west of Cheltenham. The scheme will provide a mix of new homes, including affordable housing, and includes generous open spaces, retained landscape features and a network of footpaths.

The development has been designed to promote sustainable travel and strong connections into the existing road and pedestrian networks. Several bus stops are located along Shurdington Road / A46, around a 10minute walk from the site, offering frequent services every 5–20 minutes to Cheltenham which is only three miles away. The A46 provides direct access to the A417 and the M5 motorway at Junction 11A, which is just a 10-minute drive. 

Angela Heaney, managing director of Wain Estates said: “In close collaboration with the landowner we’ve developed a framework that has not only secured outline planning but maximises the site’s potential. This approval enables detailed plans for residential development to be brought forward in line with Tewkesbury Council’s objectives for new homes in the area. We now are keen to talk to developers who can deliver this vision for the site.”

Wain Estates will now market the site to housebuilders, who will then bring forward detailed planning proposals.
