Agricultural Buildings & Rural Planning Advice

MDDP provides specialist planning and architectural services for agricultural businesses, landowners, and rural enterprises.

We assist with proposals for new agricultural buildings, extensions or alterations to existing structures, and rural development requiring planning permission or prior approval. Advice is grounded in an understanding of agricultural operations, functional need, and countryside planning policy.

Practical Solutions for Working Holdings

Agricultural planning requires a balance between operational requirements and policy restraint. MDDP focuses on:

- Functional and operational justification
- Appropriate siting and design
- Proportionate, policy-compliant development

Where appropriate, we also advise on the future development potential of agricultural land, including how buildings and layouts may influence long-term land value or promotion opportunities.

Typical Agricultural Services:

- Agricultural building drawings
- Prior approval applications
- Full planning applications for rural development
- Planning statements and supporting justification
- Advice on siting, scale, and materiality
- Early-stage advice on land and holding potential

With experience advising on and delivering development in rural settings, MDDP offers grounded, realistic advice that reflects both planning policy and the practical realities of agriculture.
