Farm Planning Consultants in Yorkshire
Yorkshire farmers deserve a fair shot at planning permission
Yorkshire is England's biggest farming county, and you are part of what makes it work. You want a new building that suits modern farming, a use for the old barns and an income that will last. A farm planning consultant in Yorkshire can help you secure the consent to make those plans real.
The planning maze
Across North Yorkshire, the East Riding and South and West Yorkshire, farmers face a planning process that can feel endless. 2 national parks, Green Belt around the cities, landscape objections and stretched councils all mean extra reports, extra fees and extra months. Applications are too often refused on points that have nothing to do with farming. It holds back the very businesses that keep Yorkshire's countryside alive.
Experts who are on the farmer's side
We understand how frustrating it is to be told no by a system that does not seem to understand agriculture. Foxes Rural is a specialist rural planning consultancy trusted by Yorkshire farmers. Agricultural permitted development, Class Q, Class R and full planning are our bread and butter, and we know how to make a strong case in protected and Green Belt landscapes alike. Our 95% approval rate is the result.

Part of England's proudest farming county
Yorkshire's farming community is anchored by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, the Great Yorkshire Show in Harrogate and busy livestock markets at Thirsk, Skipton and Malton. Great estates and family farming partnerships across the Dales, the Moors and the Wolds keep the county's reputation strong. Your farm is part of that story, and it deserves buildings and income streams that match.
A specialist in your corner
Yorkshire farmers can take advice from firms such as GSC Grays, Savills, Acorus, The Rural Planning Co and The Rural Planning Practice. Foxes Rural is built for one job, getting farmers planning permission, so your application never competes with land sales or estate management for our attention.
What inaction costs
Buildings that no longer fit the business, barns going to ruin and opportunities missed while policy keeps shifting. A refusal can sit on your planning record and make future applications harder.
