Architectural designers in Biggleswade

Twenty minutes south down the A1, a growing market town where we work on Victorian cottages, post-war semis and the newer estates off the London Road.

Biggleswade is around 20–25 minutes from St Neots up the A1, and it's a fast-growing market town, its Georgian and Victorian core around the Market Square and High Street sits alongside thousands of new homes rising to the east at Kings Reach and the Biggleswade East garden community. Whether you're extending a period home or a brand-new house, we design for it, and we know the local context.

Your application goes to Central Bedfordshire Council, the unitary authority. Helpfully for homeowners, there is no Article 4 direction in Biggleswade, so standard permitted-development rights generally apply, though the conservation area over the historic centre (Market Square, High Street, Shortmead Street) still tightens what's allowed there. The adopted Biggleswade Neighbourhood Plan is also a consideration. We'll tell you exactly where you stand.
