American Barns

We will send you full details of the groundwork and foundations that are required prior to the construction of the stable or barn. We generally recommend that this work is carried out by a local construction company.

Yes! Our equestrian buildings are manufactured to order and delivered complete, ready for smooth efficient construction on site. We are happy to provide full instructions and support for you, or a local contractor to erect the stable. See our post on Self-build Stable Kits.

The need for planning permission for stables will depend on whether the stables fit within the permitted development criteria of your local area. You may need to contact your local planning authority (LPA).

REASONS YOU MAY REQUIRE PLANNING PERMISSION FOR STABLES

• Stables are being built outside the curtilage of the garden, meaning the land immediately surrounding it.
• The stables require footings, such as foundations or a concrete slab.
• Building a new infrastructure for stabling such as an American Barn.
• Making a major change to your building, eg building an extension.
• Change the use of your building.
• To use land and/or buildings for keeping horses for recreational or commercial purposes.
