Those living in rural communities in England will be given more options to convert agricultural buildings into family homes.
Housing Minister Dominic Raab announced the changes to planning rules, which are intended to help meet local demand.
New revisions to permitted development rights will allow a maximum of five new houses to be created from existing agricultural buildings on a farm. Previously, planning regulations limited the number to three properties.
The amendments, which come into force on the 6th April 2018, will permit the development of:
- up to three larger homes within a maximum of 465 square metres or
- up to five smaller homes each no larger than 100 square metres or
- a mix of both, within a total of no more than five homes, of which no more than three may be larger homes
