This application involved the demolition of the existing garage to allow for the stationing of a Mezzanine Pod as an ancillary outbuilding. The purpose of this development was to create a safe independent space for a teenager with ADHD, as a place they can escape to and call their own.
Through our strong planning submission and positive engagement with the case officer, the application was approved under delegated authority.
Due to the quirky design of the mezzanine pod, we undertook pre-application discussions with Cheltenham Borough Council which concluded positively and allowed for the progression to a householder application.
The Mezzanine Pod itself is designed by a local company called My Shire Houses, which build a range of bespoke structures, priding themselves on using all-natural materials and keeping hand craftsmanship alive.
More details of My Shire Houses work and other pods available can be found at:

Waterside, Church Walk – Cheltenham
Location: Waterside, Church Walk, Cheltenham
Case Type: Replacement Dwelling
Council: Cheltenham Borough Council
Status: Approved
BPA are delighted to announce securing Planning Permission for a modern replacement dwelling at Waterside in Cheltenham.
Following on from the granting of a previous permission on the site, we worked closely with the clients to piece together a new application.
In the hopes of providing a bespoke, contemporary property for our clients, this application sought permission for an updated external design to the previously approved dwelling as well as an alternative interior layout.
The updated external design responds beautifully to the properties unique setting along the River Chelt, as well as meeting all of the clients day-to-day needs in terms of essential functioning as a family home.
In regards to the new design, Cheltenham Borough Council Architectural Panel concluded that “the architecture is even arguably improved as it is an updated design which reflects up-to-date styles and techniques.”

Merry Lane Dog Paddock,
Evesham
Location: Merry Lane, Evesham, Worcestershire
Case Type: Change of use from equestrian land to a dog exercising paddock with ancillary facilities and associated parking (part retrospective)
Council: Wychavon District Council
Status: Planning permission secured
BPA has secured planning permission for the change of use of an equestrian field to a dog exercise paddock with ancillary facilities and associated works.
In April, 2021, the applicants began renting the paddock to owners who required a secure area for exercising their dogs off-lead. There was evidently a demand in the locality, as the applicants had a number of regular users and therefore wished to secure retrospective planning permission to ensure the use is lawful. The paddock can now be utilised by owners and dogs who may not want to mix with others, have special requirements, or limited access to safe green spaces. The applicant also sought permission for the retention of the shepherds hut sited in the paddock. The hut provides users with shelter from the elements in addition to tea/coffee facilities and a WC. The final element of the application sought permission for a new vehicular access point and hardstanding for the parking of 2no. cars and an associated turning area.
With the assistance of our expertise, we quickly and smoothly secured planning permission for the applicant supporting the continuation of their rural business.

BPA has secured full planning permission for 4no. high-quality detached dwellings in Stow-on-the-Wold.
Due to the sensitive nature of the site (Cotswold AONB and in close proximity to designated heritage assets) coupled with the sites complex and rather colourful planning history, we undertook pre-application discussions with the local authority. During which, we successfully established the principle of residential development on the whole of the site area, and sought to clarify from the council regarding the issues that needed to be addressed to secure a positive determination. The result is a cleverly designed scheme, incorporating features typical of the Cotswold vernacular with a contemporary twist.
Through our strong planning submission and positive engagement with the case officer, the application was approved under delegated authority.
