The barns and rural buildings that interests us around Mold
In the countryside around Mold, redundant barns and yards can sometimes become homes, depending on the building and the route available. As the county town of Clwyd, Mold anchors the area we cover here, along with Buckley, Flint and Holywell.
- Stable blocks, workshops and rural yards
- Farmyards with several buildings
- Buildings with an existing access to a road
- Buildings with or without an existing consent
The A55 coast road and the Wrexham to Bidston and North Wales Coast rail lines link the main towns with Chester and Merseyside. Coastal flood risk under TAN 15 is significant around Rhyl and Prestatyn, and phosphate limits in parts of the River Dee catchment have affected some schemes.
Checks we make on barns and rural buildings in Mold
Planning route
In England, Class Q prior approval may apply to agricultural buildings; in Wales, a full application is usually needed.
Structure
Conversion routes usually require the building to be capable of conversion without substantial rebuilding.
Protected landscapes
National Parks and National Landscapes can restrict permitted development and design.
Parts of Wales lie in river catchments where phosphate levels in protected rivers affect new housing, so drainage and nutrient solutions can be an early question.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 67 miles from Mold, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Mold ask
Does Class Q apply in Wales?
No. Class Q is part of the permitted development rules for England. In Wales, barn conversions generally need a full planning application.
We still use some of the buildings. Can we sell just part of the yard?
Yes. We can look at selling some buildings and keeping others, with access and boundaries agreed.
How quickly can you look at a site in Mold?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Mold assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
