Farm Planning Consultants in Leicestershire
Grass, grain and room to grow
Leicestershire is a county of rolling grassland, mixed arable farms and some of the most famous food in Britain. You may need a cattle shed, a grain store, a farm shop or a new purpose for a brick barn. A farm planning consultant in Leicestershire helps you get the green light without the usual battle.
Squeezed by growth
Leicestershire is one of the fastest growing parts of the Midlands. Housing allocations, logistics parks and new roads put pressure on farmland, while Charnwood Forest and the National Forest bring their own landscape expectations. Farmers can find that officers busy with major schemes give little time to farm applications, and decisions drag on while extra information is requested again and again.
Planning help that puts farming first
We know how hard it is to be heard when your application sits behind a 1,000 home scheme. Farmers and landowners are our only clients. From Part 6 prior approvals to Class Q, Class R and full applications, we know how each Leicestershire district treats farm development and how to keep your scheme moving. Our approval rate is 95%.

A county famous for its food
Leicestershire gave the world the Melton Mowbray pork pie and Stilton, made by producers such as Long Clawson Dairy in the Vale of Belvoir. The Belvoir Estate farms on a large scale around Belvoir Castle and grew Belvoir Farm drinks from elderflower picked on its land. Each of those businesses needed buildings and consent to grow. So does yours.
Why choose a planning specialist
Leicestershire landowners often use firms such as Fisher German, Andrew Granger, Savills, Strutt & Parker and Bidwells. Foxes Rural is a planning consultancy only, so a Leicestershire farm application gets specialist attention throughout.
The risk of standing still
A weak application can end in refusal, and a building put up without the right consent can draw enforcement. As development pressure grows, waiting rarely gets easier.
