The barns and rural buildings that interests us around Newtown
In the countryside around Newtown, redundant barns and yards can sometimes become homes, depending on the building and the route available. In Powys, Newtown sits about 19 miles north of Llandrindod Wells; Welshpool and Llandrindod Wells are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Traditional brick or stone barns
- Farmyards with several buildings
- Buildings with an existing access to a road
- Buildings with or without an existing consent
Most new homes are planned in the market towns and larger villages, with smaller sites, farm buildings and infill plots in rural communities. Flood risk under TAN 15 in the Severn and Wye valleys, and the Cambrian Line and Heart of Wales Line rail corridors, also influence where development is supported.
Before we make an offer in Newtown
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.
Access and services
Rural buildings often need new access, drainage and power.
In Wales a planning permission usually lasts five years before work must begin, and land purchases are subject to Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty Land Tax.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 59 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
