Willowbrook would deliver essential new homes and jobs for Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and the surrounding area.  It would play a crucial role in the region’s future growth and would see more than £1 billion invested into the construction sector over a 10-year period.

There is a clear vision in place for Willowbrook which has been carefully designed to deliver all the elements of a thriving community in a genuine sustainable development.

The first phase of the Willowbrook scheme covers the majority of the SGL site, and will include:

• Approximately 1700 new homes, including affordable housing
• A new primary school with preschool education provision
• A new Local Centre, including local shops and community facilities
• A new Park & Ride facility located adjacent to Junction 10, with 350 parking spaces
• New footpaths and new cycleways linked to existing communities and routes off site
• New wildlife habitats and improved connectivity with existing habitats with extensive open space, formal and informal sports provision
• Sustainable drainage and water management
• Two access points off of Tewkesbury Road, and bus only access onto Green Lane.

• Meeting housing demand: There is an urgent need for high-quality housing in Tewkesbury & Cheltenham.
• Delivery and integration: Tewkesbury has significant need for new homes and the proposed development can be coordinated with the imminent Junction 10 DCO scheme and the upgrading of Tewkesbury Road.

Further phases of Willowbrook will include the remaining homes and approximately  7 hectare business park.

Bloor Homes has been careful to ensure that Willowbrook will integrate with the proposed developments at Elms Park, local communities and surrounding environment
