Summary
This application asks the council to confirm that a wildlife requirement from a previous permission has been satisfied. The earlier permission (reference 26/00013/FUL) included a condition about biodiversity net gain — meaning the development had to result in a measurable improvement to wildlife on or near the site. Cheltenham College sits within a protected historic area of Cheltenham, with five protected old buildings within about a minute's walk. The site is on Bath Road, close to Cheltenham General Hospital and a number of bus stops. No new building work is proposed as part of this application. The council will review the biodiversity information submitted and decide whether the condition has been met.
