PRESS RELEASE
New Plans Unveiled for Leckhampton
Development
Developers promoting housing and other facilities will this month unveil
new plans for the Land between Shurdington Road and Church Road at Leckhampton.
The site has been identified as a potential area for development by
Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and Gloucester councils as part of their joint
development plan – the “Joint Core Strategy”.
The new plans will reveal that the Leckhampton consortium is now
proposing 1,100 dwellings at the site, having consulted on plans for 1,300
homes in Autumn 2012.
Over 40 per cent of the site will be given over to green spaces.
This will include allotments, play areas and protected public open
space - the most popular facilities to emerge from last year’s consultation.
The plans will also include a new primary school, GP Surgery and other
facilities.
Developers say the plans could create over 1,650 jobs in the local
area.
Consultation events in Autumn 2012 – attended by just under 900 people
– identified the key concerns as traffic, school places and flood alleviation. The
consortium says it has worked to address these issues in the new proposals on
display this month.
A planning application is expected in Spring 2013.
