Before we make an offer in Ludlow
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.
Access and services
Rural buildings often need new access, drainage and power.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 36 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Ludlow 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.
Can a steel-framed barn become a home?
In England it may, under Class Q, if it meets the conditions. Whether it is worth doing depends on the building, access and location.
Is Ludlow too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 36 miles from Ludlow, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Ludlow?
As Ludlow is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
