Mickleton Parish Council – Planning Update – 9 October 2025

Cotswold District Council Regulation 18 Consultation on Draft Local Plan

Cotswold District Council (CDC) has published draft options for future housing development in response to a sharp rise in government-imposed targets for new homes. The implication for Mickleton in this first draft is 590 additional houses over the 15-year period of the plan; a 60% increase from where we are today.

The consultation proper will start in November; however, the most relevant documents are already published and available to view. Please see full details, together with links to documents, in our article of 8 October: here.

Withdrawal of Brookworth Homes Outline Planning Application

The application for outline planning permission for 120 dwellings Land Northeast of Mickleton by Brookworth Homes was withdrawn on the day before it was due to be assessed by CDC Planning Council. The CDC Case Officer was recommending refusal.

We expect Brookworth Homes to resubmit their application after making amendments. There is no timescale for this.

On a related issue, the temporary tree preservation order (TPO 25/00005) on the trees adjacent to Canada Lane was supported to be made permanent by several residents. A modification order submitted by the landowner to allow for pruning and essential maintenance was submitted. Local residents will do their best to ensure any such works are carried out professionally and not to the detriment of the trees’ long-term health.
