IMPROVING YOUR CLASS Q APPROVAL

We are delighted to submit a bespoke dwelling to planning via the Class Q betterment route.

There are few routes available for you to build a new house in open countryside. Using your Permitted Development Rights (class Q) to change the use of an agricultural building into residential use, is very popular.

Following the grant of approval under Class Q, a planning application can be submitted and considered for approval for a completely new residential development commonly known as a ‘fallback’ position.

This ‘fallback’ position can include changes to provide betterment to the elevation, sustainability, external works and ground levels, something not permissible under Class Q.
