Joint Core Strategy

The Joint Core Strategy (JCS) is a partnership between three councils: Gloucester City Council, Cheltenham Borough Council and Tewkesbury Borough Council.

The JCS was adopted by all three councils in December 2017 and is now undergoing a review.

They are preparing a draft plan for consultation, which is expected to start in late Summer/early Autumn 2021. The proposed timescale for the plan’s preparation is as follows.

  • Preferred Options Consultation Summer/Autumn 2021
  • Pre-Submission Consultation Winter 2022
  • Submission to the Secretary of State Spring 2023
  • Examination Summer 2023
  • Adoption Winter 2023

If you want to take part in the consultation you need to register.

Our Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury district committee covers your area. If you’d like to speak with our committee please email info@cpreglos.org.uk and we’ll put you in touch.
