Bin stores in Great Bowden: 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.
Great Bowden is a village of greens just north east of Market Harborough, with ironstone, brick and thatched houses around its greens and lanes, and later housing on its edges. It has its own neighbourhood plan, first made in 2018.
We cover Great Bowden (LE16) and the villages around it, including Market Harborough, Little Bowden, Welham, Slawston and Foxton.
Ground and conservation in Great Bowden
Great Bowden sits on the clays and mudstones of the Welland valley, which drain slowly, with the River Welland and the Langton Brook to the south. We design for the water first. On the clay around Great Bowden we dig the base below the topsoil and build it thicker, so it does not move with the seasons.
Great Bowden has a conservation area covering the historic village and its greens, and a neighbourhood plan with policies on design and character, so road-facing changes should respect the materials around them.

Permissions in Great Bowden
- 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 Great Bowden conservation area have tighter rules, so we check your address before anything is designed. Planning Portal: outbuildings
