Unlocking Rural Potential
CLASS Q, LAND PROMOTION AND RURAL DEVELOPMENTS - PLANNING & ARCHITECTURE SPECIALISTS
Making Rural Projects Happen
Whether you want to unlock the value of rural land, convert an agricultural building, or design a one-of-a-kind countryside home, we’re here to help make it happen.
We specialise in Class Q applications, land promotion agreements, and planning for complex or sensitive rural sites. Our approach is always pragmatic and solutions-focused, keeping your ambitions at the heart of the process — and your project moving forward.
Class Q Barn Conversions
We help landowners unlock the value of agricultural buildings with well-prepared, results-driven Class Q applications. Our planning expertise and clear, actionable advice are designed to maximise your chance of approval — so your project can move forward without delay.
Land Promotion Agreements
We work with landowners to unlock long-term value by turning rural land into viable building sites — without needing upfront investment.
Through Land Promotion Agreements, we spread the risk, increase your chance of planning success, and connect you with trusted development partners to maximise the outcome.
New Build Projects on Rural Land
Whether you're starting with an empty paddock or a full masterplan, we’ll help you turn rural land into high-quality new homes.
From early planning to detailed design, we provide expert, practical advice to unlock potential and deliver a scheme with real value — and lasting impact.
Farm Diversification Projects
We help rural landowners turn underused land into sustainable, income-generating ventures — from visitor accommodation to woodland schemes.
Our advice blends planning expertise with a practical understanding of subsidy opportunities, helping you make the most of every acre.
Architectural Services
From first sketches to detailed technical drawings, we offer a full suite of architectural services for rural projects, whether you're converting a barn, developing equestrian or agricultural buildings, or planning a countryside home.
We bring ideas to life with creative thinking and practical know-how, and our focus is always on planning success and long-term value.
Planning Advice
Planning in rural areas — especially for heritage or agricultural properties — brings unique challenges. With extensive experience in these sectors, we offer pragmatic, innovative advice to help you navigate the process and secure permission for your project.
We’ll work with you to overcome obstacles, maximise your chances of approval, and get your plans moving.
