REC17 - NOISY SPORTS, WAR GAMES AND SIMILAR ACTIVITIES 

Planning permission will not be granted in respect of the use of land and related development for noisy sports, war games and similar activities unless the Council is satisfied that the proposal would not materially harm:

  • the amenities of residential properties in the locality;
  • the character and appearance of the countryside;
  • the heritage and ecological value of the site;
  • the safety and enjoyment of users of any nearby bridleways and footpaths;
  • other formal and informal recreational activities which are pursued in the locality.

Proposals should not give rise to volumes of traffic that would prejudice highway safety or cause significant harm to the environmental character of country roads. Any buildings, structures and car parking areas should be small scale, discreetly located and well screened to minimise the impact on the open character of the countryside.
