Agricultural Building Conversion

[George from SJM Planning]

Have you had any with solar tiles instead of panels, we have an old barn we are going to do but we are going to put a new steel framed roof on it first so we can live upstairs and I would like to use solar tiles instead of panels but am a bit concerned on life span of them etc

I've seen them used but never first hand; we tend to be isolated from the actual build unfortunately

Good job, although you know the world has gone mad if folk will pay £900k for a semi detached, tarted up old shed. Even if it is in Kent.

It certainly has, why do you think I work in Kent but live in Wales!

How did you get on with the curtilage ? our planners gave us 2m at the rear and not much more at the front , effectively 450m in total

We were allowed equal to the building footprint which is still only 250m2

The result doesn't show that

The result is a CGI rendering and the legal curtilage is off of the gable ends. The rest is agricultural land to be sold off with each house. The driveway is just an improved existing hardstanding.

Just mulling over potential conversion of our small dairy farm into 5 dwellings which I think would lend itself really well. We have about 1300m2 which is twice the maximum allowed, but maybe one shed could be converted into business unit maybe connected too rental of one of the conversions.
Any suggestions on where on earth you’d start with permitted development??
I’m not sure how difficult local council is but doubtful they’d roll over easy.
Thanks

Hi @happycows. You would be best to get a planning consultant to work on your behalf to negotiate with the local authority as you are quite right you would be well over the Class Q limit.
We are have a couple of projects similar to yours on our books and would be interested in discussing it with you. Feel free to drop me a PM or email [email protected]

Ha I’m 300 meters away.
I know of several young people with good jobs desperately looking to find something to rent that’s affordable maybe even on house share basis. 18 to 25 years not ready to commit to settling down but want there own space.
I think this would be ideal.
