Good news for the coombes team as we've secured planning permission for 19 apartments on Winchcombe Street in Cheltenham.

Our client purchased the site with an extant approval for 18 apartments in a conversion scheme. We revisited the plans and reimagined the design to create a high-quality scheme inspired by Cheltenham's traditional villa architecture, reflecting its setting within the Conservation Area.

The revised scheme increases both unit numbers and bed spaces and also provides an increase in Gross Internal Area (GIA), and therefore viability by approximately 40%.

We worked closely with construction and development company Cotswold House Builders and SF Planning Limited.
