    Trusted by farmers across England

    Farmers across the country bring their planning problems to us.

Most farm applications are not refused because the idea is wrong.

They are refused because the farm was never properly explained. Planning officers in district councils see five or six farm applications a year. They do not know what a covered handling yard is for, why the new building has to go next to the existing one, or why the structural condition of a barn matters for Class Q.

We tell your farm's story in language the council understands, backed by the NPPF, the local plan and evidence of how your farm works. That is why 95% of our applications are approved. The UK's farm planning specialists. RICS and CAAV qualified. Fixed fees. We work across the UK.

Three steps to planning permission on your farm

  1. Book a consultation. Tell us what you want to do.
  2. Get a clear planning strategy for your farm. You will know the right route and what it involves before you commit.
  3. We prepare and submit your application and keep you updated until you have a decision.

What getting it right looks like

Get it right and the new shed goes up, the old barn starts earning and the next generation has somewhere to live. Get it wrong and a refusal stays on your farm's planning history.

The farming community already knows this works.
