Adopted Joint Core Strategy
The Joint Core Strategy (JCS) 2011-2031 was adopted by Gloucester City Council, Cheltenham Borough Council and Tewkesbury Borough Council in December 2017.
The three authorities are now progressing a Strategic and Local Plan (SLP). The SLP will provide an overarching planning strategy and cross-boundary strategic policies covering the whole area, and local policies for each local authority.
The Adopted JCS remains a crucial part of the development plan for each of the three areas. Planning applications are determined based on these local development plans.
