Do you have land you want to develop in the Cotswold District?🏡
Cotswold District Council (CDC) has reached a key stage in its Local Plan Review, publishing the ‘Preferred Options’ document as part of the Regulation 18 Consultation stage.
The document outlines CDC’s proposed spatial strategy to accommodate a significantly higher housing requirement of 18,650 new homes across the district over the plan period 2026–2043, which reflects the Government’s drive to boost national housing delivery.
As such, CDC has launched a ‘Call for Sites’. This Call For Sites process invites landowners, developers and other interested parties to put forward land for consideration in meeting a wide range of future development needs.
Submissions are invited for:
• Market and affordable housing
• Employment and commercial uses
• Gypsy and traveller pitches
• Renewable energy projects
• New country parks
• Other types of development identified in the Local Plan
Those who have previously submitted land are encouraged to reconfirm site availability and provide updated delivery information where relevant.
At Brodie Planning Associates, we have worked across the Cotswolds for many years, giving us a strong understanding of the area’s unique planning challenges and opportunities. We will be commenting as a practice on the Regulation 18 Preferred Options and supporting individual landowners to put their sites forward.
The Regulation 18 consultation will be open for six weeks from Wednesday 5 November 2025 until midnight on Thursday 18 December 2025.
To discuss your site or explore how we can support you, please contact mail@brodieplanning.co.uk or telephone 01242898368 and we would be pleased to assist you.

Del Mel Estate Agents new HQ in Winchcombe – Planning permission & Listed Building Consent GRANTED – supporting local business and the vitality of our towns
Introducing De Mel Estate Agent’s new Winchcombe HQ – Planning and Listed Building Consent approved to reinstate the locally important historical building known as Winchcombe Cross as two commercial (Class E) planning units at ground and lower ground floors, including new signage to 1 North Street and 10 High Street. This was an extremely rewarding project for us, as local planning consultants, to support and facilitate bringing this building back into an appropriate use (previously vacant for a considerable period), and moreover, for our local business to support another local business.
