Rural Building Conversion Opportunities

Here at SJM Planning we are currently working on several rural building conversions, whether it is agricultural to residential under Class Q, the repurposing of redundant rural buildings within AONB's or seeking alternative uses for derelict structures in the countryside.

We are looking for more projects such as this so if you have any outbuildings, sheds or barns that you you would like to investigate the possibility of repurposing then please feel free to get in touch. You can leave me a message on this thread, PM me or email [email protected]. We are happy to look at projects nationwide, big or small.

Here are two of our recent projects at either end of the spectrum.

A 10m x 6.5m pig sty / feed store converted to a 2 bed bungalow
