Construction work on a £1bn project in Cheltenham, dubbed the town's 'Silicon Valley', can now begin after receiving final approval. The development includes a 160,000 sq ft building for the cyber and technology sector and over 450 car parking spaces. Cheltenham Borough Council's planning committee unanimously approved the proposals on Thursday. The project is part of the Golden Valley development, which aims to build 3,700 homes and create 12,000 jobs on land next to GCHQ. The teams behind the project hope it will be completed in 10 to 15 years and will help create a campus where businesses and GCHQ work together on national security and defence.
