Our Services
Project Feasibility & Business Planning
We work with you to assess the viability of your diversification idea—whether that’s a holiday let, farm shop, office conversion, equestrian facility, or events venue. We provide honest, market-informed advice on potential returns, risks, and suitability for your holding.
Planning & Permissions
Navigating planning policy is key to successful diversification. Our team prepares and submits planning applications and permitted development enquiries, ensuring your scheme complies with local policies while maximising your chance of approval.
Grants & Rural Funding Advice
We advise on available grants and funding streams—including LEADER, DEFRA schemes, and Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs)—to help fund building works, infrastructure, or business development. We assist with applications, project justification, and compliance.
Farm Building Conversion & Change of Use
We specialise in advising on the conversion of redundant agricultural buildings into alternative uses such as residential units (Class Q), commercial spaces, or tourism facilities. We assess eligibility, manage prior approval, and guide the design process.
Estate-Wide Strategy & Long-Term Planning
Diversification often forms part of a broader vision for your farm or estate. We help you align new enterprises with your long-term goals—considering land use, succession planning, tax implications, and integration with core farming activities.
