Rules that apply in Wales
Planning framework
Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.
Heritage
Listed buildings and scheduled monuments in Wales are managed with Cadw and the council's conservation officers.
Farm tenancies
Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and farm business tenancies apply in Wales as in England, with their own notice and compensation rules.
When the land isn't straightforward
The barn is listed
Listed barns can still be converted with consent, but the design must respect the building.
You're in Wales
Welsh permitted development rules differ from England's, so barn conversions here generally need planning permission. We look at the route under Welsh policy.
Useful to send us
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Questions from landowners near Gelligaer
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.
What if bats are present?
Bat roosts don't usually stop a conversion, but they need surveys, licences and timing. We allow for this in the offer.
Do you cover the villages around Gelligaer?
Yes. Villages between Gelligaer, Blackwood and Pontypridd often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
