Planning Decision
Why it was refused
- Insufficient evidence is submitted with the application to demonstrate that on the balance of probability the operational development on the Land, as described in the Frist Schedule, is not so much an integral part of the said unlawful equestrian use of the Land that it should be considered separately under the 4-year rule.
- On the evidence submitted with this application it is not possible to establish that the said operational development is not ancillary or incidental to the unlawful equestrian change of use of the Land and thus not possible to be considered as operational development previously undertaken for some other lawful use of the land or a change of use of the Land on its own right for it to be considered separately under the 4- year rule.
From the council's decision notice.
