Planning success for Class Q – Conversion of Agricultural Buildings Dwellings

MRT have recently obtained permission for the conversion of three redundant agricultural buildings into five new dwellings near Hockley Heath.

The approval was secured under Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order, which allows for the conversion of redundant agricultural buildings into dwellings, subject to the proposals meeting a set criteria. The scheme involved changing buildings previously used as part of a former dairy and turkey farm, into a mix of two and three bedroom dwelling houses surrounded by beautiful countryside and close to many local amenities.

The proposal utilises the existing brick built animal barns and retains their agricultural character to enhance the overall setting of the site whilst providing five new dwellings in a sustainable location.
