Farm Planning Consultants in the West Midlands
Building a stronger farm in the West Midlands
Across Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire and Warwickshire, farmers are adapting to new markets, new rules and new opportunities. You might need poultry or dairy housing, a hay store, a reservoir or a new use for an old brick barn. With the right farm planning consultant in the West Midlands, those plans can become approvals.
What stands between you and approval
In the West Midlands the planning process often moves at the speed of its slowest report. River catchment phosphate rules, ammonia assessments, Green Belt around the conurbation and protected landscapes in the Malverns and the Shropshire Hills all give councils reasons to delay or refuse. Farmers are left waiting while the season moves on. It is not fair that the people who produce our food face so much resistance on their own land.
Meet the specialists who understand your farm
We know how draining it is to deal with consultation after consultation. Foxes Rural is a rural planning consultancy that works only for farmers and landowners, including many across the West Midlands. Agricultural permitted development, Class Q, Class R and full planning are our everyday work, and we know how to address nutrient, ammonia and landscape concerns head on. That is how we keep our approval rate at 95%.

Dairy, poultry, fruit and cider country

Every one of them relies on the right buildings to stay competitive. That is exactly where we help.
A guide, not a generalist
West Midlands farmers often use regional firms such as Berrys and Halls or national names such as Acorus, The Rural Planning Co and The Rural Planning Practice. Foxes Rural is built around a single purpose, winning planning permission for farms, so all of our energy goes into your application.
The price of delay
Without consent, investment stalls, grants and contracts can be lost and unauthorised buildings can attract enforcement. Each year a barn stands empty, its value and condition slip further.
