'Class R' allows the conversion from agricultural buildings to commercial using permitted development rights, subject to specific limitations and certain conditions.

We offer in-house architectural design for all construction projects, including post-planning support if required to ensure full building regulation compliance and assistance with building control applications too.
Our services are bespoke to each project; some clients will have already appointed an architect, and that’s fine too. We work in collaboration with a range of local architects and architectural designers and so where an architect is already on-board we’re very happy to work alongside them and provide support on the planning side only.
