Vision Statement

Bishop’s Cleeve.

The Community of Bishop’s Cleeve

• The village of Bishop’s Cleeve is now described as an “urbanised village” which lies 3 miles to the north of Cheltenham, and is within the Borough of Tewkesbury. Based on Maiden” Gloucestershire Neighbourhood Data 2013”, The population is reported as 10,615 in 2011, it is predicted that there will be approx 15000 people living in Bishop’s Cleeve by the end of 2013, with major expansion of the village having taken place in the 1950’s 1980’s and again in 2013. In 2011 there were 4720 households within the Parish of Bishop’s Cleeve with planning permissions having been given for an additional 1500 since 2011.

• Limited public transport makes it difficult to access services in Tewkesbury, which is where the Borough Council’s offices , hospital, theatre and swimming pool are located.

• There are 3 wards in Bishop’s Cleeve with 35% of the population living within Cleeve St Michael’s , 41% living in Cleeve West and 24% living in the Cleeve Grange ward.

• Of the 10,615 residents in the Village, 3405 are under 19 years old, 5941 between 20 to 65 years old and 2231 over 65 years old 7

The Wider Community

Bishop’s Cleeve is the largest settlement in the south east of Tewkesbury Borough. It has many visitors for shopping, the library, children’s centre and sports facilities. Its youth provision is accessed by young people from surrounding villages and neighbouring towns.

The Future

• In 2013 the Secretary of State upheld a planning appeal for more housing development, so 550 dwellings are to be built in the north-west of Bishop's Cleeve and a further 500 dwellings between Gotherington and Cleeve. Within the accepted developments there are many more shops, sports facilities such as a gym, swimming pool or other entertainment sports and plans for a 'mega surgery'. Once the development goes ahead Bishop's Cleeve will soon become overwhelmingly bigger thanTewkesbury, which is the Borough Town.

• There are future plans for Gloucestershire Police to build a new 'Police HQ' in Bishops Cleeve near GE Aviation. This would benefit the village after the closure of the Police station in 2012 to make way for a small housing development on Cheltenham Road. Recently old garages on the “Smiths estate” now owned by Roof -top Housing are being demolished to make way for more houses and make the surrounding area more appealing
