Land Promotion of Land at Shurdington, Badgeworth Lane, Badgeworth, Cheltenham

The development site forms a natural extension to the edge of the existing village settlement, with the site layout featuring a high-quality extensive scheme design that strongly compliments the existing settlement. The site comprises of an open and gently undulating site which benefits from views over open countryside to the south.

New vehicle access will serve the site from Badgeworth Lane, with pedestrian/ cycle crossing proposed on Badgeworth Lane and new pedestrian link onto the footpath adjoining the A46.

Planning

The site is being actively promoted by Richborough and is currently the subject of an outline planning application for a cross-subsidy residential development of up to 50 dwellings (reference 22/01137/OUT). The proposed scheme includes a mix of 50% affordable housing and 10% self/custom build plots, alongside vehicular and pedestrian access, internal streets, drainage infrastructure, landscaping, and associated engineering works. All matters are reserved except for vehicular access, which is proposed onto Badgeworth Lane.

The application was refused by Tewkesbury Borough Council on 18 June 2024 on the basis of green belt policy. Richborough have subsequently appealed the decision to the Planning Inspectorate (Reference APP/G1630/W/24/3357444), arguing that the site now falls within the definition of ‘grey belt’ land under the revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Tewkesbury Borough Council have since accepted this reclassification. An appeal decision is expected in late summer 2025.

A copy of the planning application documents are contained within the Sale and Technical Pack available in the data room hosted by Richborough.
