Farm Buildings
Farm buildings have traditionally been one of the simplest
forms of construction. This may be the case with a single
building but can be made more complex as more buildings
are added, both technically and in planning terms.
Acorus have consultants with specific experience in agricultural
buildings whether it is a slurry handling facility or complete
farmstead costing millions of pounds. Once you are using
the buildings it is very difficult to make ongoing changes
so you need to get it right the first time.
Our input can include architectural
services, planning
consultancy, including advising on permitted development
rights, or
contract administration of the build stages.
The planning system has, since its inception, allowed farm
businesses to build dwellings in the open countryside subject
to proving an agricultural need.
The most recent Government advice widened this to occupational
dwellings allowing such diverse enterprises as equine and
ornamental fish farms to put forward cases.
Our specialists can guide you through this process, help
prepare cases, complete business plans, submit planning
applications and appeals.
