EE16: Outdoor Sport and Recreation in the Green Belt
In accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework, the provision of facilities for outdoor sport, outdoor recreation and for cemeteries, burial grounds and allotments may not be inappropriate in the Green Belt provided such provision preserves the openness of the Green Belt and does not conflict with the purposes of including land within it. When assessing proposals, the following considerations will be taken into account:
- proposals for stables/tack rooms must demonstrate the amount of development proposed is reasonably related to its intended use and the use of the land;
- proposals will be expected to demonstrate the minimum required hard standing necessary for the facility, if this hardstanding is required.
