A medieval town
Timber frames, alleys and an abbey.
Tewkesbury’s centre is known for its medieval and Tudor timber-framed houses, with narrow alleys and courts leading off the main streets, all gathered around the Abbey. The town has around 380 listed buildings, and most of the centre is in the Tewkesbury Conservation Area.
Beyond the old town, Northway, Ashchurch, Walton Cardiff and Bishop’s Cleeve are mostly newer family homes, where a kitchen extension, a two-storey addition or a full refurbishment can transform how a house works.
- Tewkesbury Borough Council decides planning for the town, Bishop’s Cleeve and Winchcombe, as well as Churchdown and Brockworth on the edge of Gloucester.
- 14 conservation areas across the borough, including Tewkesbury, Bishop’s Cleeve, Twyning, Winchcombe and Woodmancote.
- Listed buildings need listed building consent for changes inside and out, which matters a great deal for timber-framed houses.
- Flood zones cover large parts of the town and the riverside villages. More on that below.

Flood risk, planned for from the start.
Tewkesbury sits where the Severn and the Avon meet. In July 2007 floodwater cut the town off and the Abbey stood like an island, and the risk is still part of daily life for many homes here.
If your home is in a flood zone, an extension or new build will usually need a flood risk assessment with the planning application. We find out early by checking the Environment Agency’s flood map for your address, and design in practical measures such as suitable floor levels, raised sockets and water-resistant finishes on the ground floor.

FAQs
Building in Tewkesbury
Can I extend a house in a flood zone?
Often, yes. The planning application will usually need a flood risk assessment, and the design should include flood-resilient details. We check the flood map for your address before any drawings are done.
Do you work on timber-framed and listed buildings?
Yes. We survey the frame and the original features first, agree the scope through listed building consent, and use materials that suit the building.
Do you cover Bishop’s Cleeve?
Yes, along with Woodmancote, Gotherington, Northway, Ashchurch, Walton Cardiff, Twyning and the villages along the Severn.
Which council decides my planning application?
Tewkesbury Borough Council, which also covers Winchcombe, Churchdown and Brockworth. We manage the application for you.
Do you build bespoke homes in Tewkesbury?
Yes. We build one-off homes on plots across the borough, to our design or your architect’s. Montazah in Gloucester is a recent example on a difficult site.
