Rural Diversification – including Leisure and Tourism
Rural planning – especially when it concerns diversification from an existing use – is a complex area. Many mistakes concerning planning applications and consents may seem trivial, but if ignored can be very costly and time consuming. Our team have many years experience in planning rural and farm diversification projects – from mazes to major visitor attractions. We have all seen horror stories on the local news about new buildings that have had to be torn down because the planning process was not adhered to correctly. Contact a specialist Chartered Surveyor from Davies & Co to ensure that your project doesn’t fall fowl of planning regulations.
Many farmers and land owners have realised the benefits of diversifying from farming to other, more profitable uses – principally within leisure and tourism. From holiday lets to major theme parks, Davies and Co can help UK land owners realise the most money from their land. If you are considering diversifying your existing rural or farm land, contact one of our specialist Chartered Surveyors.
As a sponsor of the National Farm Attractions Network Davies & Co. have many years experience in providing specialist planning advice in rural leisure and tourism diversification. We have helped many farm attractions/ diversifications to secure the successful business they operate today. These have included farm parks, farm shops/restaurants, holiday lodges, maize mazes, caravan parks and fishing lakes amongst others.
To help secure your farm diversification or rural tourism project we are able to provide you with the preparation of feasibility studies, planning advice, grant advice and applications to DEFRA and the Regional Development Agencies as well as advising/applying for other initiatives and grant applications, specific to your project. Our extensive knowledge and experience in this area will help your project run as smoothly as possible, allowing you to concentrate your time on running your business.
