Bin stores in Cottesmore: what is involved
We fit composite and aluminium bin stores for one, two or three wheelie bins, on a level paved pad with a path to the kerb, so the bins are hidden and easy to get out on collection day.
Cottesmore is a large village north east of Oakham, with ironstone and limestone cottages in the old centre and a good deal of later housing, and Kendrew Barracks, the former RAF Cottesmore, just outside it. Family homes here often want a wider drive and a lower-maintenance garden.
We cover Cottesmore (LE15) and the villages around it, including Market Overton, Barrow, Burley, Greetham and Thistleton.
Ground and conservation in Cottesmore
Cottesmore sits on mixed ground on the edge of the limestone, and the North Brook rises nearby. Drainage varies from plot to plot, so we dig a test hole before deciding between a soakaway and a permeable build-up. On the clay around Cottesmore we dig the base below the topsoil and build it thicker, so it does not move with the seasons.
Cottesmore has a conservation area covering the historic village and no Article 4 direction, so normal permitted development rules apply outside listed buildings.

Permissions in Cottesmore
- PlanningA bin store at the side or back of the house is normally permitted development. In front of the house, a free-standing store technically falls outside householder permitted development, so we check with the council before building one there. Listed buildings and the Cottesmore conservation area have tighter rules, so we check your address before anything is designed. Planning Portal: outbuildings
