Your farm buildings are an asset which can provide you with an alternative income which will benefit your business and your capital value.
Most Local Authorities have planning policies which now positively encourage the redevelopment of redundant farm buildings, usually for employment uses, but, in some circumstances, for residential development. In addition, the Government have recently been providing grants for planning appraisals to be carried out.
Despite the many changes we have witnessed over recent years, the British countryside still exists and requires ever more careful management. The emphasis of rural land management is shifting, with greater emphasis being placed on conservation and the integration of farming with environmentally friendly systems. Symonds & Sampson LLP believe that a strong agricultural industry remains the keystone to both a prosperous and vibrant countryside, and we are here to provide knowledge and expertise on a wide range of matters that will be of immense importance.
Don't let redevelopment opportunities pass you by.
