What strategic land we want near Tewkesbury
Around Tewkesbury, strategic sites tend to be the big fields between the built edge and the main roads, where a whole new neighbourhood could be planned. Tewkesbury is in Gloucestershire, about 9 miles north of Gloucester. Nearby places include Cheltenham, Gloucester and Great Malvern.

Gloucestershire, as used here, includes the Bristol fringe towns of Kingswood and Yate as well as Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Tewkesbury and Cirencester. Green Belt lies between Cheltenham and Gloucester and around the Bristol edge, while the Cotswolds, Wye Valley and Malvern Hills National Landscapes cover much of the countryside. Sites typically include edge-of-town fields, village infill, farm buildings and former employment land along the M5.
Before we make an offer in Tewkesbury
Infrastructure
Schools, roads, drainage and power capacity shape what a large site must provide.
Land assembly
Larger schemes often need several owners to agree a fair way to share value.
Station proximity (England)
The August 2026 NPPF gives new support to suitable development within reasonable walking distance of well-connected stations.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Some land in Gloucestershire is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 40 miles from Tewkesbury, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
