Cheltenham Housing Supply & Student Accommodation
Net additional dwellings built each year in Cheltenham, plus the split between student and other communal accommodation.
Cheltenham Housing Supply
How many extra homes Cheltenham has actually gained each year — new builds, conversions and change of use, minus demolitions — going back to 2001.
Alongside general house building, communal accommodation (halls of residence and other shared housing) is tracked separately and split between student and non-student use, giving a rough read on how much purpose-built student housing has been added or lost year to year.
