Barn Conversions
Introduction
At EDG:Architecture we are passionate about bespoke residential design. This includes the likes of extensions and new-build homes, but our favourite project type is barn conversions, and we are good at them.
Barn conversions are probably the most sought after and aspirational house-type, and for a very good reason. They are usually set within open countryside with panoramic views. They are usually full of character. The style of the build can vary from small and cosy traditional stone barns, to large contemporary open plan portal frames.
planning permission
There are 2 ways to obtain consent for a barn conversion. Via planning permission, or via prior approval (permitted development). There are pro’s and cons to both and we will always assess your options to deliver your dream home.
Our recent works have included the rennovation of a Grade II listed Cruck Frame barn in the Yorkshire Dales [a cruck frame is where a tree is split in two to form an A-frame. There are only 2 in Yorkshire} as well as a planning application for a highly contemporary barn conversion near Goole.
We are currently working on the conversion of a portal frame barn under Class R permitted development into a large 12 bedroom guest house. Another ongoing project sees the conversion of a farmhouse and adjoining barns into multiple dwellings under Class Q permitted development.

Class Q permitted development allows the conversion of agricultural buildings into residential use. As with most permitted development there are rules to abide by.
For example, do you know how many units you can create, or the maximum size of each unit? How big your garden can be under Class Q, or the structural requirements for conversion?
