Another area where Agri-Expo offers an extra dimension is in professional services, Kent Showground, Detling, Maidstone, Kent ME14 3JF where visitors have the opportunity to talk to rural planners, agents, contractor and law firms, which in our view can be invaluable.

Karen Wheeler important gateway into the UK for some major names in agricultural equipment. The Duke of Kent opened the brand new £1.5 million state of the art Maidstone Exhibition Hall at The Kent Showground in the summer of 2014, underlining the Kent Event Centre's position as one of the largest and most flexible venues in the South East. The new venue will enable Agri-Expo to utilise the 3000m2 of clear span exhibition space. With a 5m high cargo door not only will all the indoor exhibitors be under one roof, but there is now the facility to site much larger machinery and equipment inside as well .

Why does February always seem to be the coldest month of the year, even if it isn’t? Despite the fact that the days are definitely getting longer, it is still dark in the morning when I get up and dark when I get home. I know this is the same for a lot of you and I am sure that we are all looking forward to the Spring. Many of you will have noticed that fuel prices have been dropping since the autumn and for many, the current prices have been the lowest for a number of years. Business has been brisk and our supplier, Sprint Fuels, has been working really hard to deliver all the orders requested. Despite the volatility of the prices, Sprint have continued to offer really competitive prices with a great service. If you haven’t tried their service, now is a great time to see what you have been missing. The supply of fertiliser is another service that is growing in momentum and it is always worth calling the office and seeing what is available. For Sussex Members, please call Rosie on 07776 302847. Agri Expo is less than 4 weeks away. I hope to see you all at the show; it is looking like this year will have more exhibitors than ever so you should have an even better time! It is looking increasingly like we may well not get much snow but February is an unpredictable month so for those offering snow clearance services, please do watch out for the emails and calls; we were still clearing snow in March a couple of years ago! Good luck with February and don’t forget where we are if you should need help.

What will the new regulations allow? The new briefing looks at the key changes to the General Permitted Development Order and how agricultural buildings can be converted to resiWhat will you use yours for? Converting a barn can make for an exciting reno- dential use without the requirement of planning vation project, and one which can generate a permission..  up to 450 sq m (4,850 sq ft) of buildings per steady stream of income too. farm to be turned into a maximum of three houses.  up to 500 sq m of agricultural buildings on each farm to be changed into schools and nurseries. This is a great opportunity for derelict barns to be brought back into regular use, without the complication of having to seek planning permission first. BARN CONVERSIONS RAMSAK can help you take advantage of the new legislation that has come into force regarding the conversion of redundant agricultural buildings. Assisting will all aspects; from legislation, planning, supply of materials, construction and plant hire to landscaping and, ultimately, its rental. The legislation, which came into force in April 2014, will allow the conversion of farm buildings where they no longer needed for businesses. Development is restricted to up to three dwellings, without agricultural or other ties, through a simpler process than by applying for planning permission. Increasing numbers of farms are investing in modern, more efficient agricultural buildings, which have left old livestock housing and farm buildings to go to ruin. New guidance announced by the Government will now allow farmers to turn unused agricultural buildings into homes. Experts claimed this can turn a cost into a potential new revenue stream. In summary, the order creates a new class of permitted development ‘Class MB’, which allows change of use from agriculture to residential use. The changes are a great opportunity for farmers to use buildings to help solve rural housing shortage issues. National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG) planners are keen for farmers to consider the provision, size, location and quality of houses required for older people in future, as it can be hugely difficult for households wishing to downsize to find smaller, more manageable homes they require. The change of use for conversions avoids problems without agricultural occupancy conditions (AOCs) which often underpin rural buildings. AOCs prevent the sale of farm houses to owners unwilling to take on the land associated with the building for agricultural purposes. The Government’s proposals will also allow the conversion of farm buildings into state funded schools and registered nurseries of up to 500 square metres. Change of use Requirements: 1) The buildings are agricultural and are genuCafe and shop inely redundant, were constructed before the March 20 2013 and formed part of an agriYou can sell not only your own produce, but that cultural unit at that date. of local independent shops and craftspeople in 2) The dwellings are conversions (not new the area. builds). 3) Prior approval is obtained from the Local Planning Authority for siting, design, access/ highways, noise pollution, ecological/bat surveys, land contamination and flood risk. As such landowners are unlikely to have “free rein” to do what they like with their buildings. Things to watch out for: It’s important to note that the rules have become more flexible to encourage conversions or renovations of existing farmland buildings; Guesthouse/Holiday Lets any restrictions on demolishing barns, sheds Include bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and stylish and other buildings remain. interior design and you’ll be able to welcome If landowners choose to exercise permitted develpaying guests to your farm who will relish in the opment rights for conversions this will mean they chance to escape from the city to the country. lose permitted development rights for new farm buildings. Farmers are advised to consider when they are likely to erect new farm buildings under the Part 6 of the Town & Country Planning General Permitted Development Order 1995. If permitted development rights were used to construct new agricultural buildings after the August 6 2013 no rights will be available for change of use to dwellings. Farmers in national parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty are urged to be cautious, as these areas are exempt from the new proposals. In these areas the rules remain more stringent, but the Government has also indicated that communities in these areas need to grow and prosper. Living space Many modern parents are finding that their children fly the nest –only to come back again! The problem is, where to put them? Converting the barn could be the perfect option! Then it could make a lovely property to retire to later in life!
