Moule and Co

Bridging the Gap Between Land Management and Planning

We don't just understand the planning rules; we understand the land. Our story began in 2010 as Moule & Co, providing specialist advice to the farming sector. As the industry evolved, so did we. By 2020, our reputation for navigating the complexities of the countryside led to the birth of The Rural Planning Co.

We are here to hold your hand through the technical details of your project. Whether you are looking to diversify a farm, build a new equestrian facility, or develop rural residential property, we provide the clarity and expertise needed to turn your vision into a reality.

A Team Built on Inside Knowledge

What sets us apart is the unique composition of our team. We believe that the best results come from a blend of perspectives. Our consultants include:

• Land Agents turned Planners: Professionals who understand the practicalities of rural business and land ownership.
• Former Planning Officers: Experts who have sat on the other side of the desk and know exactly what local authorities are looking for.

This combination of technical planning expertise and boots-on-the-ground experience allows us to offer a breadth of knowledge that is rare in the industry.

Our Specialist Sectors

We focus our expertise where it matters most to the rural economy. We provide nationwide support across four core areas:

1. Agricultural: Helping modern farms adapt and grow through strategic planning.
2. Residential: Navigating the unique challenges of building or converting homes in rural settings.
3. Rural Business: Supporting local entrepreneurs in creating sustainable commercial spaces.
4. Equestrian: Specialist advice for private and commercial horse-related developments.

"We are at the forefront of rural planning, dedicated to identifying the opportunities available to our clients and helping them achieve their goals."
