Planning Being outside the statutory designation of the National Landscape Areas, we believe the barn benefits from permitted development, which includes the possibility of class Q to convert the barn to residential use. Alternatively Class R allows the change of use of an agricultural building to flexible commercial use which may include class B2 industrial use class B8 storage and distribution class C1 hotel class E commercial and business services but probably the most suited conversion is class F2 c outdoor sport and recreation , but any prospect purchasers must make their own investigations.
Agents Comment This is an attractive parcel of land lending itself to a variety of uses. With a versatile farm building and welfare cabin, with services installed, it has the potential of conversion under class R which could lend itself as a good hub for an entrepreneurial business.
