Creative Living Spaces Cheltenham & Gloucestershire

We build extensions and provide creative living spaces to Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Norton, Tewkesbury, Bourton-on-the-Water, Winchcombe, Broadway, Moreton-in-Marsh, Ross-on-Wye, Ledbury, Oxford, Monmouthshire, the Cotswolds and surrounding areas.

Unlike an extension, a garden room is an entire separate room that is installed. It does not require foundations as such, but we may need to survey your garden. Certain garden room sizes may need planning permission. Speak to our Cheltenham team about the needs of your installation.

That depends entirely on the size of your extension. If your designs are over half the size of the original house or within 2 metres of the property boundary, then yes, you will have to get planning permission.

In most cases, permission for a single-story extension is not necessary because adding one to your home is usually allowed under the new ‘permitted development’ rules (subject to certain conditions).

Terraced and semi-detached homes can make additions up to 6 metres without planning permission, whilst detached houses can now add large structures up to 8 metres without permission.

Note: Should you wish to build a double storey extension you will require planning permission.

To learn about planning regulations in Gloucestershire or if you would like to apply for planning permission or make a building control application, contact our team for more information. Of course, you can always ask our team if you have any questions.

Yes! We often work with architects when planning extensions, especially on larger projects. We know that single storey extensions are often within permitted development, but homeowners looking for a second storey extension will need to get planning permission, and this is aided with architectural planning.

If you are an architect working on a project with a homeowner, contact our team so that we can talk to you about our services.
