What usually makes or breaks it
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.
