Checks we make on barns and rural buildings in Burry Port
Protected species
Bats and barn owls are common in rural buildings and need surveys at the right time of year.
Protected landscapes
National Parks and National Landscapes can restrict permitted development and design.
Access and services
Rural buildings often need new access, drainage and power.
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 116 miles from Burry Port, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Dyfed
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.
Do bats stop a barn conversion?
Not usually, but surveys and mitigation are needed, and survey seasons can affect timing.
Is Burry Port too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 116 miles from Burry Port, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Burry Port to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
