Agricultural barn in Snitterfield gains Class Q Approval
Taking advantage of the Class Q agricultural permitted development order we have managed to gain approval for a change of use from agricultural to residential.
This redundant agricultural building has approval to be converted into 4 dwellings, encapsulated within the original building footprint. Careful consideration has been given to materials to ensure the original agricultural aesthetic is maintained, whilst blending some modern refinements intended to make this redundant agricultural shell a pleasurable place to call home!
A blooming addition to this Cotswold Co-op Store
The newly planted shrubs and flowers at the Co-op store near Cheltenham have fared well despite the winter snow and frost and all are just beginning to embrace this lovely Cotswold setting.
MRT were involved with the retail store façade for the whole development including detailed design of all the paving, terraces, carpark and planting beds. We selected and prepared schedules of individual species in zones around the buildings following a theme of pinks and purples. All evergreen, fragrant and with seasonal interest and as robust as possible. Its looking good and smells good too!
Planning permission granted for beautiful historic Cotswold property
Nestled amongst the most important historical church, almshouses and remnants of an amazing pre-Tudor house is The Tithe House, an outstanding Arts and Crafts dwelling emulating perfectly the essence of the Cotswold style.
Planning permission has been granted for alterations and extensions to The Tithe House, Chipping Campden in this extraordinary setting surrounded by listed buildings of great merit including the Grade I Wool Church of St James with its 15th century perpendicular architecture.
MRT Architects were commissioned to obtain planning to update the house in this highly sensitive location. The design was accepted by the conservation officer which included demolition of modern work and new rear and side extensions with substantial internal alterations and new windows all in jurassic oolitic limestone. Building work is now ongoing.

Superb new house progressing well
Work is progressing well at this superb new house situated on the peak of a rolling Warwickshire hill with amazing 360 degree views of the beautiful surrounding scenery.
This Cotswolds inspired home has been lovingly crafted from cut and random stone which is dressed in situ for quality control by a team of experienced skilled masons. The warm glowing façades are complemented with bronze metal windows and doors and a sumptuous oak frame galleried hall with exposed trusses and a magnificent, curved staircase. The design skilfully combines one and two storey wings with living and leisure on one side and quiet bedrooms on the other except for a glorious first floor master bedroom apartment suite with a fabulous outlook.
This replacement dwelling house in the greenbelt is a labour of love slowly but surely rising stone by stone upward and outward above this hallowed Warwickshire knoll.
