Building & Property Development
Builders in Evesham & the surrounding area
We travel to Evesham from our West Midlands base as an experienced building and property development contractor, bringing a single accountable team to every project.
Evesham & the surrounding area
CH Developments serves Evesham and the surrounding Vale from our West Midlands base. We are a CHAS-accredited contractor offering the same level of attention and care whether you are extending a cottage in the town centre, converting a barn on the edges, or building new on a plot in the surrounding area. One team, from first site visit through to completion.
Evesham's housing stock is notably varied: the historic core is built around period terraces and timber-framed homes, many within the town-centre conservation area or on the local buildings register. Away from the centre, you will find market-town cottages, interwar semis, postwar estates, and newer residential development on the outskirts. The River Avon loops around Evesham and carries real flood risk for riverside areas and Bengeworth in particular. That means if you are extending a riverside property, installing new flooring, or working on groundworks near the water table, flood-resilient detailing and materials are not optional extras, they are essentials.
All our work is designed and certified under current Building Regulations, processed through Wychavon District Council's building control or an approved inspector. We handle planning submissions where required, and we understand the constraints of conservation areas and listed-building consent. We are fully insured, employ our own vetted trades, and back every project with a comprehensive workmanship guarantee.

Good to Know
Key planning and technical points for Evesham
The practical and planning side of building in the area. We handle the paperwork and the approvals as part of the job.
Planning permission and conservation
Evesham town centre is a designated conservation area. Many properties are listed or locally listed. Extensions, alterations and new work may need planning permission and listed-building consent. Permitted development allowances are tighter in conservation areas. We advise on these constraints upfront and handle the submission process.
Flood risk and water management
The River Avon floods periodically, especially affecting Bengeworth, riverside properties and low-lying ground. We use flood-resilient flooring materials, manage drainage carefully, and factor in water-resistant detailing for extensions and new builds in flood zones. This is not cosmetic, it is a structural and durability issue.
Building control and housing stock variation
Evesham has a mix of timber-framed, brick-built and stone properties spanning five centuries. Older homes may have poor cavity fill, uneven ground, and limited headroom in lofts. Newer suburban properties often have different constraints. We survey thoroughly and tailor our approach to each building type and location.

Questions & Answers
Building in Evesham: common questions
Are you based in Evesham?+
No. We are a West Midlands-based building contractor and we travel to Evesham and the surrounding Vale from our home base. We keep our overheads low by working across the region, which helps us offer competitive pricing and faster scheduling. You get a single team who knows your project from start to finish.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Evesham?+
It depends on size, location and whether your property is in the conservation area or listed. Single-storey rear extensions up to 4 metres may qualify for permitted development rights outside a conservation area. However, Evesham town centre is designated, so many properties need formal permission. We review your property's constraints and advise on the submission route.
My property is near the River Avon. How do you handle flood risk?+
We survey drainage and water table conditions, specify flood-resilient materials (such as engineered flooring, raised electrics, and water-resistant membranes where appropriate), and design groundworks with water management in mind. We also liaise with Wychavon's building control to ensure compliance with any local flood-mitigation standards.
How much will a kitchen and bathroom cost?+
Cost depends on spec, finishes, plumbing routes and structural complexity. Rather than guess, we visit your home, measure accurately, and produce a fixed-price quotation with no hidden costs. Contact us to arrange a free survey and quote.
Do you work on listed buildings?+
Yes. We have experience with listed-building consent, period detailing and sensitive renovation. Evesham has many listed properties, and we understand the approvals process. We preserve original features where practical and ensure all new work is sympathetic to the building's character.
What happens after the work is finished?+
We provide a comprehensive workmanship guarantee covering defects in labour and finish. Building Control issues a completion certificate for regulated work. We also advise on aftercare, maintenance and any warranty support from manufacturers on fitted goods.
