The cottages were built a few years ago to support an equestrian centre but the business model of the centre had changed and as such they were no longer needed as part of the business. Following a submission to remove the occupancy condition the council raised a number of issues that needed to be addressed and RCC had protracted negotiations with the planning officer. Eventually the council agreed that sufficient evidence had been presented and permission was granted.
Latest equestrian case studies:
Riding arena Bishop Cannings
RCC was approached to discuss a number of options at a recently purchased property within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The key project was to create an outdoor riding arena
Equestrian heights
RCC were requested to provide planning consultancy services to create a brand new livery yard on a ‘greenfield’ site where there were no existing buildings or structures. The client had bought the site knowing it had previously been subject to the refusal of a planning application for a nine-hole golf course and driving range with the subsequent planning appeal also being dismissed.
Rein and Shine
This large scale equestrian proposal involved the change of use of Buryhill Farm (a former dairy farm that was no longer operational) to a livery and riding centre for Rein & Shine.
