Policy 61 Horses, Stabling and Riding Facilities

Stable blocks, loose boxes and other essential buildings and associated works connected with equestrian activities will generally only be permitted if:

The siting, scale, form and materials of such developments would not have any adverse visual impact on the open or rural character of the Green Belt or areas of Metropolitan Open Land;
Such developments would not result in any detriment to the amenities enjoyed by the occupants of any adjoining residential properties;
They are, wherever possible, sited close to any existing built development on the site and suitably sited in relation to their surroundings;
They are adequately screened; the proposal will not adversely affect areas which are of importance for nature conservation; and
The proposal will not result in an unacceptable intensification of horse-related activities.
Further to the above the council will encourage joint applications which incorporate rides through the land involved and a communal jumping area, if required, subject to other policies of the Plan.
