Farm Planning Consultants in Warwickshire

Farming at the heart of England

Warwickshire sits at the centre of the country, with mixed farms, large arable units and estates close to Birmingham, Coventry and the M40. You may want to replace old buildings, add a farm shop, create commercial units or convert a brick barn. A farm planning consultant in Warwickshire helps you turn that opportunity into consent.

Green Belt, HS2 and constant pressure

Much of north and central Warwickshire is West Midlands Green Belt, the south reaches into the Cotswolds National Landscape and HS2 has cut across farms in the county. Councils juggle housing targets and major infrastructure, and farm applications can be treated with suspicion or left waiting. Farmers who have worked this land for generations deserve better than that.

A planning partner who knows Warwickshire

We understand how wearing it is to defend every farm building in the Green Belt. Every client we act for farms or owns rural land. We work with Part 6 prior approvals, Class Q, Class R and full applications, and we know the Green Belt exceptions for agricultural buildings well enough to use them with confidence. 95% of our applications are approved.

3 simple steps

1. Phone 01206 481981. Tell us about the farm and your idea.
2. We plan the approach. We assess Green Belt, landscape and heritage issues and choose the best route.
3. We take it to a decision. We prepare, submit and negotiate on your behalf.

Warwickshire's working estates

Warwickshire is home to Stoneleigh Park, long a centre for British agricultural events, and to working estates such as Ragley near Alcester that combine farming, tourism and business. Farm shops such as Hillers near Alcester show what a farm can build when it has the right consents. Your farm deserves the same chance.

Why a farm planning specialist

Warwickshire landowners often use firms such as Savills, Strutt & Parker, Knight Frank, Carter Jonas and Sheldon Bosley Knight. Foxes Rural is a specialist planning consultancy, so your application is never just one part of a wider property brief.

The cost of a refusal

In the Green Belt a refusal or enforcement notice can reduce the value of your land and make future plans harder. Delay rarely helps with pressure on the county growing.
