what we do
planning is not always black and white so we deal with the grey
Planning Applications
We provide a full dedicated in-house planning service managing the complete process from start to finish. From permitted development applications through to full planning applications and everything in between. Remember even existing planning is not set in stone. Planning can evolve and add value.
Pre-auction advise
We will respond quickly, efficiently and cost effectively to provide planning advice on specific auction lots to help de-risk and de-stress auction bidding. Barns, derelict buildings, houses, chapels, schools, offices, bunkers, we've got the lot covered (pun intended).
​
Lawful Use
We have extensive experience of obtaining certificates of lawfulness which formalises that something is lawful. This is a common first step to then obtaining planning permission.
Garden Plots
A specialist area at Barrio. We can quickly establish prospects for creating a dwelling in your garden. A few boxes need ticking upfront; we need sufficient space (for the dwelling itself, private amenity space, access, parking and turning) and an established residential location rather than countryside - think streetlights not pheasants. Then let Barrio do the rest.
Architectural Services
Here at barrio we can provide a full suite of architectural services in-house. This means we respond quicker and deliver faster.
Other Services
Our extensive network of contacts allows barrio to leverage a range of subject matter experts who can provide you with financial, environmental, ecological and structural engineer advice to ensure all bases are covered.
