Editing Cheltenham (section)

=== Green belt ===
{{further|Gloucester and Cheltenham Green Belt}}
Parts of the town has [[green belt]] along its fringes, and this extends into the surrounding Tewkesbury district, helping to maintain local green space, prevent further [[urban sprawl]] and unplanned expansion towards Gloucester and Bishop's Cleeve, as well as protecting smaller villages in between. West of the Greenfield Way and Fiddlers Green Lane roads, along with much of the open space up to the Civil Service Sports Ground, as well as the Cheltenham Racecourse and surrounding green park, along with St Peter Leckhampton parish church and Brizen Playing Fields/Haven and Greenmead parks along the south of the borough, are covered.{{cn|date=January 2025}}
