Planning Permission for Farm Diversification
Many farm diversification projects—such as setting up a farm shop, converting outbuildings into holiday accommodation, or offering glamping facilities—require planning permission. Local authorities need to ensure that proposed developments are in line with zoning laws, environmental protections, and community interests.
Without the proper permissions in place, you risk delays, additional costs, or even the need to reverse any changes made. Clwydian Planning specialises in helping farmers navigate these requirements to get their projects approved quickly and efficiently.
Top Farm Diversification Ideas (and How We Can Help)
Farm Shops
Transform your farm’s fresh produce into a revenue-generating enterprise by opening a farm shop. We can assist with planning applications for building conversions, signage, and parking facilities.
Storage Space Rental
Unused barns or outbuildings can be repurposed for storage, providing space for local businesses or community groups. Clwydian Planning can help you secure change-of-use permission and advise on any structural updates.
Holiday Accommodation
From cosy B&Bs to luxury glamping sites, rural accommodation is increasingly popular. Our team can guide you through the planning process for converting buildings or adding new structures, ensuring compliance with local guidelines.
Renewable Energy Projects
Installing solar panels, wind turbines, or biomass boilers can diversify your income while contributing to sustainability. We’ll manage your application for energy installations, helping you meet environmental regulations.
