Permitted Development for Barn Conversions - Part Q 

Thanks so much, me and the wife are about to take the plunge into a barn conversation and it's a whirlwind of questions. This really helped give us an idea of what we are getting into.

Very informative. Thanks

Thanks Neil. A very succinct video. Much appreciated.

Hi Niel I was wondering if ,you could possibly give me advice on a possibly barn conversion I'm looking too but in rural West Wales , it's actually a small chapel that is begin advertised as a barn conversion , it has mains electric,a small courtyard at the front with paved path going too the front and around the building , attached too the main building is a wooden vestry with a metal roof that could possibly turned into a kitchen , what I'm asking is now difficult would it be too change the use of the church into permitted development into a two of three bedroom dwelling ?

You state that your entire property must have less than 465square meters. Are you referring to the physicality of the building or are you referring to the property as the curtilage so you are including the land within this statement.

Hi very useful advice, My questions I have successfully obtained no prior approval for my barn conversion into a two bed conversion, Here in Cornwall, My question is , Is it possible to move the foot print 50m forward and I obtain the barn still instead of converting then having to build a new barn Regards

hi, I'm interested in focusing my dissertation on class Q development, is there any specific areas that you would suggest best to investigate? or any problems and issues that come up with the permitted development ? thanks

Hello what about a building that is/was in the middle of a field but has all but fallen down apart from one wall? (Great vid also by the way 👍.)

Hello Is this upto date with the new changes in permitted development. Have they relaxed even more demolishing - rebuild of barns since this video?

Does the Barn need to have a roof on it. If it is just the walls and the roof collapsed 40 years ago is it valid? If the barn has an old floor in it cobbles, stone concrete etc, can you remove it to insulate and put in under floor heating. or can you build a new floating slab above the one that is already there. You just need to add an external step up to the property door.

I’ve submitted a long, long story on class Q and the LPA on the “Building Acer View” channel under a reply to Christopher Day. We don’t need your services but if you want more detail on our plight, I’d be happy to talk to you. Might be helpful to you.
