Members of the public are invited to have their say on changes to the draft Joint Core Strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy (JCS) is now at the stage of main modifications, and is out for public consultation until the end of the day on Monday, 10 April 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new version of the strategy includes proposed land at Twigworth for 995 houses and the removal of the site at MoD Ashchurch, following an announcement by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation in October 2016 that it would need a significant portion of the land for at least 10 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

It also includes plans for a site at West Cheltenham to support 45 hectares of employment land for jobs in cyber security and related high technology industries and 1,100 new homes. In addition, an allocation of 620 homes at Winnycroft in Gloucester is identified as an urban extension to the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

All comments received by the deadline will be forwarded to the JCS Inspector and further hearings are scheduled for the summer (dates to be confirmed) to discuss these changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

To access the consultation and supporting information, please visit www.gct-jcs.org<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Hard copies have also been made available at all three council receptions and all local libraries.\u00a0 A full list of locations is available on the website.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the Joint Core Strategy team is holding public open events at the following locations (reflecting the new sites which are part of the main modifications) where officers will be available to answer your questions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
