3 things you can do to make more plots available
Small, concrete actions that compound. Each one helps build the case for self-build in Cheltenham.
01
Join the self-build register
Joining the register records real demand for self-build in Cheltenham. Councils are obliged to grant enough permissions for serviced plots to meet that demand — every registration counts.
120 people have joined here since 2016. See the numbers →
02
Register interest in plots
Get notified when new plots come up in Cheltenham — and signal to landowners and the council that these plots matter, helping build momentum.
03
Connect with landowners
The creation of plots always starts with landowners. Small landowners are often the easiest to work with. Reach out to your network and get talking.
About the register
Since 2016, 120 people have registered interest in self-build in Cheltenham. The council has permitted 20 plots in that time.
Of those registrations, 120 are on Part 1 (where the legal duty to grant permissions applies) and 0 are on Part 2 (subject to local eligibility tests).
That leaves an outstanding deficit of 85 plots — Period 7 (2022).
The case for action
120 people in Cheltenham have joined the self-build register since 2016.
The council is legally required to grant enough plot permissions to meet that demand. In the last 12 months, only 3 were granted.
