Home Extensions in Bishops Cleeve
Homes in Bishops Cleeve
Bishops Cleeve has grown quickly, and many houses here sit on modern estates around the older core. Plenty of rear extensions at single-storey height need no full planning application, because permitted development rights apply within size limits. Wherever you live in the village, check whether the house is listed or in a conservation area: those rights are more limited in a conservation area, and a listed building needs listed building consent. Every extension still has to satisfy building control on its insulation, drainage, structure and foundations under the Building Regulations. The photo shows an ornate pale fireplace surround with a black stove and stone hearth from our own work, and the reviewer beside it praised a clear quote, good timekeeping and a tidy house at the end of each day.

“Repainting bathroom and box room. Very clear quote and generally good communication. Rousit and his dad turned up on time and did the work quickly but thoroughly. They left the place tidy each day and at the end. I would recommend them for this type of work.”

Questions about home extensions in Bishops Cleeve
Is the quote free?
Yes. We discuss your plans with you and then quote for the agreed work free of charge.
Does an extension to a modern estate house need planning permission?
Not always. Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development within size limits, so a full planning application may not be needed. If the house is listed or in a conservation area, the rules are tighter.
