Cheltenham Planning Portal: Applying for Planning Permission

If you’re considering a development in or around Cheltenham, you’ll need to use the Cheltenham planning portal. Managed by Cheltenham Borough Council, the portal acts as your main platform for submitting planning applications, uploading supporting documentation, and tracking the progress of your application.

The Cheltenham planning portal is also useful for neighbours and stakeholders who wish to stay informed. Through the portal, you can view planning applications and comment on an application during active consultation periods. This transparency helps ensure that local voices are considered in development decisions across Cheltenham’s diverse neighbourhoods.

At Collington Winter Environmental, we offer a full range of ecological consultancy services to help your planning application meet local and national requirements. These include:

• Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEA): An initial survey to highlight ecological constraints and opportunities.
• Protected Species Surveys: Including assessment for bats, nesting birds, badgers, and great crested newts, along with mitigation advice and licensing support.
• Tree Surveys and Root Protection Assessments: Helping you preserve existing trees and demonstrate compliance with tree-related planning conditions.
• Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG): We calculate your site’s biodiversity value using Defra’s metric, ensuring your project meets the Environment Act 2021’s requirements for a 10% net gain.
• Ecological Clerk of Works: On-site monitoring during construction to ensure that agreed ecological safeguards are followed effectively.
