Agricultural to Residential Conversions
Barns Conversions - Opportunity for New Homes
Astrum Planning have worked alongside a number of talented Architects and Agents to unlock underutilised assets, through Class Q Permitted Development and full applications.
Our planning arguments are formulated on compliance with national legislation (Class Q Permitted Development Rights) and local planning policies, where located within a National Landscape Area (former AONB).
Key to unlocking development, is understanding the history/operation of the Site - to establish if i) the existing agricultural use has been abandoned; and ii) the structural integrity of the buildings in question.
Astrum Planning have facilitated the conversion of many agricultural barns into high-quality residential homes by combining expertise in planning regulation, with a tailored approach to design and engagement of other experts in the field of engineering, landscape, ecology and transport.
A collaborative approach is key to the success of the conversion of barns, especially in more isolated and sensitive locations.
