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?”

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. -

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. -

Ben is firstly a great guy, full of ideas and creativity and positivity, along with experience and intelligence. Secondly, he isn't going anywhere, he is very trustworthy, a man of his word, stable and growing his business in and around … More London. Always looking to find the best solution for your needs and not afraid to show ambition for your project, whilst having a strong knowledge of all current rules/regs and an understanding of the objectives and constraints of the planning system. As an outgoing and gregarious networker, he has positioned Aura as introducer & deal-maker, so if you need introductions to trusted quality services like: Builders, Project Finance, Consultants (e.g. Traffic, Trees, Planning Law) - he usually knows someone!

I recently contacted Aura Homes Ltd to discuss a small development project. The project was unusual and a lot of factors needed to be taken into account due to the location, site surroundings and practicality of the proposal.
I originally … More discussed it with Ben Richards who I found to be helpful, knowledgable and very accommodating in that he listened intently to give a fair assessment of feasibility.
Iris Kouneni was assigned to me and met with me to thoroughly discuss and understand what my intentions were. Like Ben, she digested my layman’s view and proceeded to give me her professional opinion.
Iris and Ben were an absolute delight to work with, professional, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and communicative to mention just a few of their qualities.
Unfortunately due to the COVID19 lockdown we have had to shelve the project.
It's been a pleasure to work with Aura Homes Ltd, refreshingly honest and professional.
I look forward to working together with them in the future.
