Architects near Carterton

Holmes Architects offer architectural design services to Carterton and the surrounding villages from the Lechlade architecture studio. 

​

The origins of Carterton date to 1894 where it was home to several bungalows for retired soldiers.  Carterton is a relatively modern town that has grown during the last 100 years to become the second largest in West Oxfordshire.  The development of the town is closely related to the construction of the airbase at Brize Norton in 1937.

​

Whilst there are no conservation areas within Carterton, the West Oxfordshire District Council's Local Plan 2031 identifies areas within the neighbouring settlements of Shilton, Alvescot, Bampton, Aston, Kencot, Broadwell, Langford and Filkins as being subject to the council's conservation policies.  Matthew has experience of acquiring planning permission within West Oxfordshire's conservation areas, and we would advise seeking pre-application advice from the council to alleviate any concerns that the planning officers may have.

​

The planning policies for Carterton itself are positive with regards to development with a target of 2,680 homes indicated in the 2031 local plan.  Areas for development have been highlighted close to the town centre and to the north and southwest edges of the town.  Several architectural styles are present in the area, and contemporary designs could complement the existing buildings in the town.
