The buildings potential was to convert the barn into six separate dwellings with all the benefits of a rural lifestyle, the issue being to discuss and negotiate with planning authorities that the buildings had no further agricultural or commercial use and would make an ideal residential development.

Conformance with local development plan and rural development policy issues
Suitability of buildings for conversion (structural reports)
Conservation issues
Wildlife issues
Existing building features to be retained
Working within existing footprints and non urbanisation
Listed building consents
Impact on neighbouring properties

In this scenario we have to address the following:

Conformance with local development plan
Impact on existing dwelling
Appropriate vehicular access to serve properties to rear
Impact of new development on neighbouring properties
Access for services (fire, bin collection, etc)
Protection of existing features on the site (trees/ hedges etc)
Suitability of existing ground conditions to support development
Negotiate section 106/ roof tax
