Short answer
Winchcombe is an old market town below the Cotswold edge, near Sudeley Castle. Its stone houses mostly have stone slate roofs. Tewkesbury Borough Council handles planning here, not Cotswold District Council. The town has a conservation area and an Article 4 direction, so check before you change a roof material or detail.

Winchcombe roofs
North Street, High Street, Hailes Street and Gloucester Street have rows of limestone houses, many with steep stone slate roofs. Some later houses have Welsh slate or tiles.
Newer homes on the edge of the town mostly have concrete tiles or reconstituted stone slates. Flat roofs on extensions and garages are common there. These need a different kind of firm from the old stone roofs in the centre.
Tewkesbury Borough Council rules
Winchcombe is in Tewkesbury Borough, so Tewkesbury Borough Council is the planning authority. It publishes a map of the Winchcombe conservation area, a conservation area appraisal and an Article 4 direction.
An Article 4 direction removes some permitted development rights. The council says that a planning application can then be needed for work that is normally allowed. Read the Winchcombe Article 4 document, or ask the council, before you change a roof material on a house.
A listed house in Winchcombe needs listed building consent for work that changes its character. The council has an online tool that shows if your property is in a conservation area.
How to check a listing in Winchcombe
Historic England publishes the official list online. On Search the List, type Winchcombe and the name of your street. Open the entry to see the grade and the date of listing. If your house is in the conservation area but not listed, the Article 4 direction can still apply to it.
River, weather and access
The River Isbourne runs through the town. Houses on low ground near it can have flood risk. Enter your postcode on the GOV.UK long term flood risk service to see the risk.
The hills above the town shelter it from some weather, but wind still lifts slates on high, open roofs. The main streets are narrow and carry through traffic on the B4632. Before a scaffold goes up on the pavement, the firm must get a licence from Gloucestershire County Council.
Firms in Winchcombe often work in Gretton, Greet, Toddington, Stanway, Stanton and Snowshill. Stanton and Snowshill have conservation areas with Article 4 directions too.
