Class Q barn conversion drawings
Giving an unused agricultural building a new life as a home, including prior approval applications for Class Q barn conversions under permitted development.
A barn conversion is a rare chance to create a characterful home from an existing building. Many are delivered through a Class Q 'prior approval' application under permitted development. We assess the building, confirm whether it qualifies, and design within the rules.

Frequently asked
What is a Class Q barn conversion?
Class Q is a permitted development right that allows certain agricultural buildings to be converted to homes through a 'prior approval' application, rather than full planning permission, subject to strict criteria.
Will my barn qualify?
Not every building does. We assess the structure and the site against the Class Q criteria before any commitment.
