Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside from adverse development unless overriding need and no alternative. Officer assessed no adverse impact due to modest scale, siting near dwelling, and functional design, allowing equestrian use as rural diversification without harming ecology or character.
Paragraph 7.15.1
Guidance on equestrian buildings requiring sensitive siting near building groups, high design standards, and avoidance of cavity walls to prevent residential conversion. Proposal met this with timber construction, specific-purpose design blending into landscape near applicant's property.
Environment Policy 19
Permits equestrian development if no loss of amenity, no loss of Classes 1-2 ag land, and highways can cope. Satisfied as Class 3 land only, no amenity/highway objections, large site accommodates without significant loss.
Environment Policy 21
Prohibits animal stabling detrimental to countryside via siting/design/size/finish; requires purpose-specific form without cavity walls. Proposal's low height, position, and sympathetic timber finish ensured no detriment.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
