Why it was refused

  1. Development in the open countryside is strictly controlled by Spatial Policy 3 (Rural Areas) of the Newark and Sherwood Amended Core Strategy (2019) and Policy DM8 (Development in the Open Countryside) of the Allocations and Development Management DPD (2013). Policy DM8 does allow for equestrian development but signposts to Policy DM5 for domestic equestrian proposals. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the proposal is considered disproportionate in size and scale for the proposed personal equestrian use and by virtue of the inappropriate scale, form, mass, design and layout the proposal would result in an incongruous and dominating form of development which would encroach into the open countryside. The proposal would therefore result in harm to the character and appearance of the site, the surrounding open countryside and the landscape character. As such, the proposal is contrary to Core Policies 9 and 13 of the Amended Core Strategy DPD (2019), Policy DM5 of the Allocations & Development Management DPD (2013) and Policy DM5(b) of the emerging Allocations & Development Management DPD, the Landscape Character Assessment SPD which seeks Planning Application: 26/00457/FUL to conserve the rural character and cites one of the threats and drivers for change in this area as 'horsey culture', in addition to the provisions of the NPPF (2024).
