The ability to provide homes on farms has two clear benefits. Firstly, the capital value of a farm increases and secondly, the options for meeting the farm labour need of the businesses are greatly improved. The recent success of gaining permission to change a strawberry store into a farm workers dwelling was no different for a Kent based farming client of Bloomfields. The former strawberry store lends itself to conversion for a farm manager’s house and even gives Bloomfields client the option of trading this in for a replacement dwelling somewhere else on the holding.
