The Opportunity

---

• Agricultural barns can often be converted into 1–5 residential dwellings under Class Q.

• With planning consent in place, your site becomes instantly more attractive to developers.

• This creates a substantial uplift in value – often far exceeding the site’s existing use.

• At Red Apple Developments Ltd, we often work with barn and agricultural building owners through a land option agreement, providing a simple, low-risk way to unlock the hidden value in their property

              An option agreement gives Red Apple the exclusive right (but not the obligation)             

              to purchase a site at an agreed price within a fixed timeframe. During this period,

              we handle all aspects of the planning process — including preparing and

              submitting  a Class Q application — at no cost to the landowner.

             Once planning consent is secured, Red Apple may then exercise the option

             to purchase the land at the agreed value, reflecting the uplift created by the

             planning approval.

             This approach offers clear advantages for barn owners:

• No upfront costs or risk – Red Apple funds and manages the entire planning process.
  
• Increased land value – Planning consent significantly enhances the market value of the site.
  
• Guaranteed buyer – Red Apple retains the right to purchase once consent is achieved.
  
• Transparent process – All terms are agreed at the outset, ensuring clarity and fairness.

             By using an option agreement, Red Apple Developments Ltd enables landowners

             to realise the true potential of their property without the time, cost, or uncertainty

            of navigating the planning system themselves.
