Planning consultancy Roger Parry & Partners has said the “huge barriers” facing Welsh farming families seeking housing need to be addressed.
Partner at the consultancy, Richard Corbett, said it is aware of a “massive problem in a Wales where housing is needed for farming families”.
Roger Parry & Partners said it is leading discussions in getting planning policy and government proposals to address the issue, which it said is “vital for agricultural businesses to surprise”.
Corbett said: “Farms face huge barriers to provide future generations with housing.
“We want to take things further and make the discussion more important in planning policies and government proposals.”
During the Royal Welsh Show in July, the planning consultancy hosted a workshop to discuss everything about housing on farms.
Roger Parry & Partners’ in-house planning consultants Richard Corbett, Gerallt Davies and Gail Jenkins were joined by planning barrister from No5 Barristers Chambers, Sioned Davies, and former Wales YFC Chair, Caryl Haf, at the event held in the Country Land and Business Association (CLA) pavilion.
