Members had visited the site on the previous day.

The applicant had submitted amended plans omitting the proposed implement shed between the dwelling house and Barn 1 and relocating the manége to the south of Barn 2, which already had permission for use as holiday accommodation. The application also sought to regularise the unauthorised creation of two turn-out yards which affected a public right of way.

Members requested an additional condition to control external lighting.

The wording of Condition 4 was amended to replace the word “refuse” with “take no action” and Condition 6 was clarified by adding “and all field shelters”.

The recommendation to approve the application with these additional/amended conditions was moved, seconded, voted upon and carried.
