Planning Permission in Gloucestershire
Gloucester Architect Services
Planning permission for new houses or extensions in Gloucestershire is currently handled by GCC – Gloucestershire County Council.
Using the National Planning Portal, any architect can apply for permission from anywhere in the country. However, there is much to be said for using a team that is already familiar with applications in Gloucestershire, particularly in the Cotswolds ANOB.
Firstly, they know what to expect in performance and can tell if a delay is typical or points to some problem. Secondly, they get to know the favourite concerns or solutions that the team raises or accepts – this can help you make choices at the start of the project rather than waiting until a problem comes up and time is wasted.
At AURA, the creative design skill for your ideal home is blended with practical knowledge of how local planning authorities think, saving you valuable time and money.
For tips on when planning permission for your residential extension is needed, see our blog “What Is Planning Permission And What Is Permitted Development?”

We instructed Aura Architects for a self-build project, they have seamlessly guided us through the process with great care and detail. We have thoroughly enjoyed with Francesco who was been extremely helpful and patient with the project, … More getting us to planning approval which took over 2 years but this did not deter his dedication to the project in what has been a very challenging process.
The whole process has been handled professionally with great communication and understanding from Aura who have taken great care to ensure we are happy and understand each of the key elements.
We are absolutely thrilled with what Aura have created for us and we can not wait to see the project come to life.
I am pleased to recommend Aura for any of your architectural needs! They have been fab and most importantly reliable! Thanks very much and a special thanks to Francesco.
Thanks, J&D. -

As main contractors with appreciation for good and efficient design, we were very impressed with Aura from day 1.
The tender pack had more information than some other projects we have done at completion, all the information is precise and … More carefully considered.
On top of that their ongoing project management is flexible and approachable.
Hope we get to work with them again in the future. -
I used Aura for a side return and rear extension, and a renovation of my first floor bathroom. I wanted something unique and characterful, with lots of natural light. Aura really went above and beyond my expectations, creating me a space … More that truly is more than I could have imagined.
From the initial consultation, where I felt immediately at ease with the team, to the transparency in their costings, all the way through the design process and project management, Aura have been consistently professional, communicative and flexible.
It certainly hasn’t been an easy time for anyone in the industry, but Aura’s solution-first attitude and their adaptability made it so easy to work with them through lockdowns, supply chain challenges, pingdemics and everything in between. It was a true pleasure to work with the team - they really do their utmost to make the process as straightforward, simple and enjoyable as possible.
I’d not hesitate to recommend Aura. They team are the perfect balance of creative and practical, imagination and solutions, to make whatever dream you have come to life. -
Graham, Mark and the Aura team have supported us on the planning permission and design of our building works. The service has been 2nd to none - white glove level. Mark our main contact is responsive and helpful. Using Aura was a superb … More decision and looking forward to completing the journey with them over the next months.
Fast forward to May 2026
We are absolutely thrilled with the renovation of our house. Gabby has been wonderful throughout the whole process. She took time to understand us as a family, and help us to make a space that would really fit us, and work with our needs. What she has created is a space that we love being in, that works so smoothly, and is very much "us". We have the living spaces we need and storage that enables us to make full use of the space we have. She has thought of so many details that wouldn't have occurred to us, but make our experience of living here a delight. And she's helped us to make good decisions from her wealth of experience. We've seen from others that building projects can be incredibly stressful, but Gabby and her build team have so calmly and efficiently delivered the vision, even when we've thought of new ideas and made changes to the plan along the way. We would definitely recommend Gabby and her team in a heartbeat! -
