Barn Conversions

Barn Conversions​

The new piece of planning legislation that was introduced on 6th April 2014 gives the ability to convert existing agricultural buildings into dwellings.

There are however restrictions and conditions to the legislation, including maximum size and the potential need for surveys to be undertaken, as well the submission of a prior approval application to the Local Planning Authority.

Planning Permission

Some clients will just want to gain planning permission so they can sell the building on and therefore don’t require much of an input.  Others will want to turn it in to their own home, or holiday lodges for example, and will therefore require a more personal input.
