I think (bit I'm no expert), if you build a new farm building using prior notification / permitted development, then you lose your PD class Q rights to convert barns into houses. However, you don't lose class R PD rights.Can someone please explain this point .. and is class r "Hotels" classified as holiday let cottages OR what defines hotel.
C1 Use Class comprises hotels, boarding and guest houses (Bed & Breakfast, Inn, Motels etc) where no level of care is required. With the advent of AirBnB etc the planning use classes are seemingly out of date and they fall outside of C1 or C3 but are not significantly different to require them to be classified as Sui Generis therefore it is all down to the applicant to argue; and the council to agree the correct Use Class.Can someone please explain this point .. and is class r "Hotels" classified as holiday let cottages OR what defines hotel.
The general feeling seems to be that class Q won't be around for ever. In your position and if funds allow I would apply for class Q as soon as your shed is up.I think (bit I'm no expert), if you build a new farm building using prior notification / permitted development, then you lose your PD class Q rights to convert barns into houses.

We are thinking of building a new shed. We are going to apply for full planning permission, which means we will keep our class Q PD rights if we ever want to apply to change our brick barn into a house.
Fantastic answerThe general feeling seems to be that class Q won't be around for ever. In your position and if funds allow I would apply for class Q as soon as your shed is up.
If you then get permission you have to complete the build within a certain time under current class Q rules (not sure without looking if it is 3 or 5 years), once class Q has been granted then apply for full planning to alter the plans slightly by adding a porch for example. (class Q says you can't extend the current footprint) Once full planning is granted then make a start by putting a sewage treatment plant in for example so you have been deemed to have started, you can then complete the build when you like as the planning is protected.
No they don't. Flood risk would need to be identified and assessed but only in Flood Zone 2 or 3.Do these class Q permissions have to pass the same rules as new builds in regards to distance from watercourses / drainage etc? Shame that we cant get sheds passed and then carry on using them until such time we want to convert them. Got a lovely big dutch barn and stone barn that would make lovely homes but located right in the farm yard amongst modern buildings which is a pain. Would be ideal if they were set away abit.
Helpful info. Thank you.The general feeling seems to be that class Q won't be around for ever. In your position and if funds allow I would apply for class Q as soon as your shed is up.

A local class Q got rejected due to its close proximity to a cattle shed.No they don't. Flood risk would need to be identified and assessed but only in Flood Zone 2 or 3.
Noise and odour from the farming activities surrounding the new homes can be an issue though.
There is no planning consideration for maintenance strips, it would be a separate civil legal matter.What's the rules with neighbour's building bang on a boundary ?
I know possibly if like for like but what if different building or new footings for a cavity wall (shed,possibly house extension under cover later??) Windows in it that cattle or horses etc could smash and service building later like paint, gutters, repair roofs etc?
Is min 3 foot applicable???
How would they build, paint, do anything to their building if dead on boundary without trespassing or trying to buy a strip as right ones about?There is no planning consideration for maintenance strips, it would be a separate civil legal matter.
Exactly, but that isn't a planning matter.How would they build, paint, do anything to their building if dead on boundary without trespassing or trying to buy a strip as right ones about?
If domestic then guess party wall agreements, ancient lights rules may kick in possibly, but field situations different?Exactly, but that isn't a planning matter.
Ours is 18 inches away .A local class Q got rejected due to its close proximity to a cattle shed.

If this happened to me I would go to the local farm sale and buy a rusty old spreader and park it right up to the boundary.
Old artic trailers and battered containers are another option I believe....Why stop at just one..?!
Always new lot move in and have big ideas and think can do what they want and try and be your new best friend???This is a personal view not one condoned by SJM Planning -
