What we look for around Dinas Powys

  • Traditional brick, stone or timber barns

What affects the price

Planning route

Full planning and, in England, Class Q prior approval follow different rules and limits.

Structural condition

Conversions generally need a building strong enough to convert without rebuilding.

Services

Water, power and drainage to remote buildings can be expensive.

Retained land

Selling buildings from a working farm needs rights carefully reserved.

Choosing how to sell

Outright purchase

Suits buildings with consent or prior approval already in place.

Subject-to-planning sale

We complete once planning consent is secured.

Option agreements

Less common for single buildings but can suit whole farmyards.

Joint ventures

Worth considering for a larger yard you'd like to see developed well.

Planning and legal points for land in South Glamorgan

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.

Awkward details we deal with

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

  • The address or postcode
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Photos of the land and its access

Your questions answered

Does Class Q apply in Wales?

No. Class Q is part of English permitted development rules. In Wales, barn conversions generally need planning permission under Welsh policy.

Will you buy a barn in poor condition?

Yes, but condition affects the planning route and the cost, so it affects the price.

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 Dinas Powys?

Yes. Villages between Dinas Powys, Penarth and Cardiff often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
