Every job starts with a site visit. After that, each stage is a fixed fee, set out in writing before any work begins. Use us for the whole journey, or only the part you need.
Bringing redundant barns and farm buildings back into use as workshops, farm shops, offices, storage, holiday lets or event space, and new working buildings where the farm needs them.
Space for a relative, a home office or a studio, or a self-contained annexe to let. Insulated, heated and built for year-round use.
Cabins, lodges and glamping units for farms and rural businesses, designed as a repeatable series so the second and third cost less than the first.
Event barns, bars and covered spaces for venues, pubs and farms, taken through Building Regulations for public use, including accessible toilets and commercial kitchens.
Available on their own, whoever builds it. Each is a fixed fee, quoted after the site visit. Council and Building Control fees are passed on at cost.
A site visit and a two-page written answer: what the land can hold, which consent route applies, what the council will look for and a realistic budget range.
A look across your holding at which buildings and new uses make sense, such as holiday lets, workshops, farm shops or event space, and the consent route for each.
Agricultural prior approvals, change of use, full planning and listed building consent, including in the Cotswolds National Landscape. Contested schemes go to an independent planning consultant we work with.
Homes, annexes and holiday units designed within the legal definition of a mobile home. They need consent for siting and use, but sit outside the Building Regulations. We know where the limits are because we've built to them.
Full plans applications with a structural engineer, then inspections through to the completion certificate, including buildings for public use.
We walk your land with you, then follow up with a written note on what’s possible.
Most rural buildings fall into one of four routes. The site visit tells you which, before you spend money on drawings.
Many new agricultural buildings need only a 28-day prior approval on siting, design and appearance, not full planning.
Existing farm buildings can often become shops, workshops, storage or hospitality through prior approval, including in the Cotswolds National Landscape.
New holiday units, event spaces and barn-to-house schemes in the National Landscape usually need full planning.
A unit built within the legal definition of a mobile home needs consent for where it sits and how it's used, but not Building Regulations.
