New family homes in Cheltenham close to the town centre

Welcome to our consultation website which has been prepared to inform you of our development proposals for The Folley, Swindon Road.

The Folley is considered one of the few remaining opportunities to create a significant number of new homes and useable public open spaces within walking and cycling distance of Cheltenham Town Centre. This website provides more information about those proposals and how you can provide your feedback.

As part of the public consultation process, we held a community drop-in event on 11 January 2024. The information displayed at the event is provided below.
