Hey folks, looking in to building a house on the in-laws field (they have a 5acre field in green belt). Any one done anything similar previously? Feel like we're going to have a battle with council planning.

Might have to wait a while

What are the Details?
The Barn Conversion clause comes about as part of a new Class – MB – into Part 3 of the Second Schedule of the General Permitted Development Order. This new class authorises change of use of a building and any land within its curtilage from use as an agricultural building to a use falling within Class C3 – dwellings. It also authorises building operations ‘reasonably’ necessary to convert the building to residential use.

  • The site must have been used solely for agricultural use.
  • The barn must have existed on by 20th March 2013 (no building new barns!). New barns can be built and converted into homes but must exist as solely agricultural buildings for at least 10 years.
  • The total floorspace of your barn to be converted must be no more than 465m² – if the barn is bigger, you’ll only be able to convert to a maximum of 465m²*.
  • The 465m² can be divided into five* separate dwellings.
  • If the site is subject to an agricultural tenancy, landowners must have the express consent of their tenants.
*effective from 6 April 2018

Are There any Exclusions?
Class MB – the barn conversion clause – doesn’t apply on any site within so-called Article 1(5) land, i.e. National Parks, Conservation Areas, etc.)
