Barn conversions

class q and full planning applications for barn conversions

Whether you would like to convert a barn from agricultural use or breathe new life into a building which has already been converted, you’ll need to understand the intricacies and specific details you will need to cover to make your plans acceptable to the local authorities.
​
It may be that your property falls under Class Q Permitted Development. This allows you to convert both old and new barns without having to request full planning permission, as long as:
•   the building was in agricultural use on or before 20th March 2013;
•   it isn’t listed;
•   it isn’t in an AONB, a National Park or a conservation area.

You must bear in mind that although the introduction of Class Q has made it easier to bring many barn conversion plans to life, many barns are listed and as will therefore require full planning permission, even if the building was converted some time ago and is currently in use as a dwelling. Full planning criteria will vary for listed and unlisted barns, with the planning authorities requiring more detailed information on how the character of the property and surrounding area will be affected, especially if you are in a conservation zone.
​
MDP’s experience in Barn Conversion planning (be it Class Q or Full Planning Permission) will help you have the best chance of achieving your project by gathering the right team to assess, prepare and guide your proposals through the planning process.
