Particularly useful for clients who live in listed properties where a local planning authority may reject any form of visual renovations, converted barns allow for extra floor space and usage whilst remaining in keeping with the surrounding buildings and overall aesthetics.
Most plans for barn conversions in the UK fall under Class Q permitted development rights.

Besides turning these historic buildings into stunning homes, our building contractors can develop them commercially.
