Stone shed to house conversion - no clue where to start

Hello. My husband and I have an opportunity to look at converting a stone shed/outbuilding on his parent's land into a home for ourselves. We don't have a clue where to start! Do we get some sort of survey first? Or do we start with getting plans drawn up and applying for planning to see if the project would even be permitted before looking at surveys?

We would purchase the shed/land but they are kindly letting us make sure it's feasible first.

Our neighbour is an architect although not sure he has experience in this area. Will pick his brain as he may be able to signpost us. I am doing some Googling this morning and thought I would ask here too.

Self build estates are not the same thing at all. And it is possible to get planning in an AONB- difficult but definitely possible . I will leave this thread as strange misinformation going on. All the best OP

We're in Wales an architect friend has done a few of these. The extensions are fabulous tying in with the stone part seamlessly.

I suggest that you check architect websites go to their portfolios and see who's had experience here.
