Expert Advice for Agricultural Building Planning

Planning and development can be confusing and technical to navigate through, which is why we pride ourselves on having a 95% success rate when it comes to receiving planning approval for every project we undertake. Planning has become more difficult over the years, and agricultural planning and development are no different. With every local authority offering different and sometimes contradictory rules and regulations, it can be challenging for many to be successful.

We have a great working relationship with local authorities to ensure that we can provide the best agricultural planning and development services possible. Agrarian can also go beyond the planning phase and take the project all the way to completion with our one-stop shop services that provide every part of the process from planning to project management to construction. This ensures continuity throughout the entire process, making it an easier and more efficient way of achieving your goals.

Professional Consultancy Services for Planning Agricultural Buildings and Structures

Agricultural planning consultants are the providers of advice and guidance for agricultural planning and the development of buildings and structures.

Agrarian offers in-depth and hands-on services for agricultural planning and development to help secure local authority approval for any type of agricultural setting. In our experience, the hardest part of planning is the interpretation of different rules and regulations between local authorities, which many find confusing. However, we work closely with the local authority to ensure there are no small details missed, which ensures our success rate of 95% approval for planning over all our projects.

There are a lot of details within agricultural planning and development that are unique and may not be applicable to residential or non-rural planning, which is why it is always good to have a specialist within agricultural planning to guide and assist you through the different nuances, like environmental or ecological implications, as well as navigating the challenges that come with building in the green belt.

Veterinary Hospital Planning and Designing Business

Agrarian can also provide veterinary hospital planning and design services for any scale of veterinary hospital or clinic. Planning and designing a veterinary hospital is challenging for someone who does not have adequate experience and understanding of what is required, as there are many more laws and regulations that need to be followed for the safety of the animals, the general public, and the staff.

We work closely with the veterinary practice manager and clinical teams to understand what facilities they require, and then we create a sustainable and efficient workflow plan that we would recommend, whilst making sure we get the best chance of receiving planning approval and providing the desired needs for the veterinary hospital, ensuring the high standard of animal welfare is maintained.

Our 20 years of experience in this field help us to navigate the different nuances required when planning and designing a veterinary hospital, as all projects are unique.

Veterinary Client Service Representative

A client representative is a person/business that is responsible for representing the client during the tender and construction phase of the project.

Their role is to speak to relevant contractors, suppliers and compliance members on behalf of the client to ensure the client's wishes are upheld during the construction process. Agrarian can offer a comprehensive and expert veterinary client representative service. We will oversee all aspects of the tender and construction process to make sure the client's wishes are upheld and to ensure the works carried out by contractors are being fulfilled in a precise and timely manner.

Having Agrarian as your client representative will help alleviate the stress that comes with project management, whilst making sure you get the best experience possible.

Why Choose Agrarian Veterinary Architecture?

Agrarian was first established in October 2000. We started with residential projects. Over time our knowledge and experience grew. We now offer services in areas such as Equestrian, Commercial, Veterinary and many more. Agrarian is committed to offering the best service available and will work closely with clients and developers to ensure an efficient, seamless and desirable outcome.

From small animal clinics and referral hospitals to livestock barns and equestrian arenas, we design and deliver facilities built around the animals, workflows, and people that use them.
Briefing, design, costing, planning, building control, on-site delivery, and project and construction management all sit under one roof. Making it that much easier to go from concept to completion.
We know what RCVS Practice Standards demand, how infection control influences material choices, when and where different levels of radiation protection are required, what drainage an equestrian arena actually needs, and how a modern livestock building should flow.

The Agrarian Difference

- Lack of veterinary and equestrian expertise in designs
- Poor Practice Standards Scheme knowledge
- Workflows are ignored in the design
- Lack of radiation requirements and infection control understanding
- Budget overruns mid-build
- Fragmented supplier handovers
- Generic commercial templates reused

- Sector specialists, not generalists
- Regulatory compliance knowledge (RCVS PSS – aligned design principles)
- Clinical workflows shape every layout
- Reduce staff movement inefficiencies
- Operational performance design thinking
- Transparent costing, no surprises
- One accountable team, start to finish
- Solutions made for the client, no box-cutting of templates
