What England's rules mean for your land
Planning framework
Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.
Agricultural buildings (Class Q)
In England, Class Q permitted development can allow some agricultural buildings to become homes through prior approval, within limits on size and number of homes.
Heritage
Listed buildings and conservation areas are managed with Historic England and the council's conservation team.
Awkward details we deal with
You're not sure Class Q applies
In England, Class Q has detailed limits and conditions. We check eligibility before assuming it.
The barn is listed
Listed barns can still be converted with consent, but the design must respect the building.

- The address or postcode
- A rough size, in acres or hectares

Questions from landowners near Tyldesley
What is Class Q?
Class Q is a permitted development right in England that allows some agricultural buildings to become homes through a prior approval process, rather than a full planning application, subject to limits and conditions.
Will you buy a barn in poor condition?
Yes, but condition affects the planning route and the cost, so it affects the price.
Can I sell buildings and keep the land around them?
Yes. We can agree a boundary that suits both of us, with access rights protected.
Do you buy land in Tyldesley?
Yes. We consider land in and around Tyldesley and across Greater Manchester. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
