Our wonderful clients are at the core of everything we do at AFA, and their feedback is invaluable to us. Regardless of whether they are a local individual or a large firm, they always make us extremely proud of what we have accomplished together.
From S.106 Negotiations and Changes of Use, to New Developments and more, we will support your application and ensure it is completed to the highest standards. As there are often many hoops to jump through to gain planning permission, we ensure none of them catch you by surprise and advise you on how to navigate them.
Having planning permission rejected can be disheartening, but it doesn’t have to be the end of the line. We will provide a thorough and honest review of your case, then advise you on the best next steps.
Class Q and R Permitted Developments are becoming increasingly popular, especially with farmers looking to repurpose their barns for residential (class Q) or commercial (class R) purposes. These barns could still be in use when you submit your application, so you can keep them utilised until the point you are ready to convert.
There are a variety of reasons you might choose to object to a planning application, such as concerns about loss of privacy or natural light, increased noise or pollution, or a design that doesn’t fit with the character of the local area. We’re here to help. Whether you have questions about the process or need full support in preparing and submitting a planning objection.
Agricultural occupancy conditions (also referred to as ‘agricultural ties’, ‘agricultural clauses’ or ‘AOCs’) are a set of restrictions placed on a property about who can live there and what the homeowner can do with it. We offer a no-win, no-fee approach to removing these ties, increasing the property sale price and making it much easier to find a buyer.
A Certificate of Lawfulness, as you may expect, assesses whether a specific development or use of land complies with the law. The benefit of a Certificate of Lawfulness is that once it has been issued, the Council is legally bound and cannot later revoke its decision, making it an attractive option for those seeking a concrete decision.
If you are looking to develop your land, then you are most likely to need comprehensive planning permission. We are here to provide an assessment of your land’s potential for development, visit your site and submit your application to the council, all while supporting you in maximising your land's potential.
