I would suggest looking at the RTPI website and find a Town Planner near you. They will not only be able to advise on the planning side of things but may be able to put you in touch with interested parties.
Have you looked on your Local Council or authority planning web pages as applications with simular situations may crop up and agents and details shown?Finding any developers is the part I'm struggling with. I managed to find details from local planning applications of who did them and contacted a few of them but they are either gone or have gotten too big. Seems to be builders who build 1 house at a time or big ones who want 50+.
I have approached a few agents and am awaiting responses.
Yes, at very least Prior Approval.I am looking to take down and old brick grain shed which is not usable with todays equipment . Do I need planning permission to replace it with a new grain store ? The footprint of the new building would be 60m *40m and the old building is 50m* 10m.
Q.1 Development is not permitted by Class Q if—Can anyone tell me does an ag building have to be a certain age before you can get a class Q on it?
I think once it has gone past a point of 'doing it up' and it turns into a rebuild it can not be classed as a building anymore. It is very subjective and I don't think there is a clear answer.Had a random thought over the weekend...
Old stone barns that have collapsed in. Some still have remnants of the roof, some you can only see the footings and various stones. Can they just be rebuilt for the purposes of agriculture? Could have been untouched for anything from 20 to 100 years ago...
A few years ago we prepared an application for inert landfill, the clients decided not to proceed with the application but we had a pre-app with the council and the application needed to be quite elaborate. We had to get a massing survey done to calculate the volume, a traffic management plan to manage the vehicle movements, ecology, hydrology and LVIA assessments.View attachment 913691
I have a possible land fill tip site for tipping sub soil with easy access for around 10000 tons of material and just wondering if anyone has been through the planning process for something similar as would like to reinstate my field? Many thanks
I know a 1000 tons can be tipped each year fairly hassle free but that’s 10 years before I can Square that area up properly but it would be nice to sort this out as the depth of that hole from the higher field is around 40ft which is dangerous reallyA few years ago we prepared an application for inert landfill, the clients decided not to proceed with the application but we had a pre-app with the council and the application needed to be quite elaborate.

Seems quite daunting but at the time the client would have made a substantial profit from the tipping fees.
If you would like to look into this further then I would suggest a pre-app with your Local Authority. We would be happy to assist if required.I know a 1000 tons can be tipped each year fairly hassle free but that’s 10 years before I can Square that area up properly but it would be nice to sort this out as the depth of that hole from the higher field is around 40ft which is dangerous really
I have approached a couple of lorry firms that Specialise in tip lorry’s and offered the site for them to do everything from planning - full Reinstatement at no cost but no one has bite yet so it may well be an idea to achieve planning and then charge per load.

1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the location and siting of the building make it undesirable to change its use to a dwelling due to the harm that would arise as a result of the introduction of a domestic use in an isolated, open countryside location that is not adjacent to the highway The building is isolated and its conversion would create a remotely located home entirely unrelated to any other buildings or features of this exposed, upland countryside. The introduction of a domestic curtilage, car parking, internal/external lighting, improvement and formalisation of the access and domestic activity would all detract from the character of this open, upland landscape.
That's it. It has been causing uproar in the planning community as it has always been understood that Class Q would create residential dwellings in locations not normally considered appropriate but this has really thrown a spanner in the works. If it had just been a council decision I would have just said it was a bad decision but as it was upheld at Appeal it is now Case Law.On what grounds was it claimed to be undesirable?

The only saving grace might be the inclusion of the word "upland". It doesn't necessarily apply to any non-upland site.That's it.

By obtaining planning either by Class Q or Full Planning does not remove any other legal obstacle. I have no experience of 86 Act tenancies but, for example, when a covenant restricts development and planning is granted the covenant is still valid. Equally the Planning Officer can not take these civil matters into account.Can anyone tell me are there any protections for 86 act tenants if Landlords are trying to gain consent for converting barns on their holdings?
through either full planning or class Q?
