Opportunities offered by Class R Permitted Development
Redundant agricultural buildings on farms and in rural areas can lend themselves to accommodating these businesses in the form of offices, light industrial, storage or specialist units. If you are looking for ways to generate additional income on your farm consider the following;
- Renting out surplus or redundant buildings
- Using these premises for your own diversification business, i.e. adding value through processing an agricultural product into a new product
- Utilising previously developed land or buildings for a new use
Is planning permission required?
There are a number of factors to consider if you meet the criteria for Class R Permitted Development Rights.
- How long the building has been in agricultural use
- Size of the floor area
- Location and proximity to other buildings
