We are writing to you with regards to our M5 Junction 10 Improvements Scheme (the ‘Scheme’). The Scheme’s aim is to remove current constraints on the highway network, improve connectivity between the Strategic Road Network and the local transport network, and ensure there is enough capacity to accommodate traffic demand associated with planned housing and employment growth in the area. The Scheme also aims to provide safe access to services for the local community and for active travel users, as well as establishing biodiversity net gain and meeting climate change requirements.
The Scheme will deliver:
- Improvements to M5 Junction 10.
- A new road linking Junction 10 to West Cheltenham.
- Widening of the A4019 Tewkesbury Road.
Further information about the Scheme is available at: https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/highways/major-projects-list/m5-junction-10-improvements-scheme/

The Inspectorate received GCC’s application for a DCO on 19 December 2023. This application was accepted for examination by the Inspectorate (on behalf of the Secretary of State) on 16 January 2024. We are writing to you because it is a requirement for us to notify you of an accepted application.
