Working in the Cotswolds
Most of the Cotswolds is a National Landscape (formerly an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), and many villages are also conservation areas. Councils expect new work to respect local materials, roof pitches and village character, and some permitted development rights are restricted. A clear planning strategy at the start makes a real difference.
Many Cotswold homes are listed. We prepare listed building consent applications and heritage statements, and specify repairs in lime, stone and timber that suit the building, from a single window to a full restoration.
Whether it is a traditional stone extension or a contemporary glazed addition to a cottage, the junction between old and new needs careful thought. We design and detail it so it works for the building, the planners and the way you live.
