Why it was refused
- The Prior Approval process is not applicable to this proposal which is for the creation of a new track within 25 metres of a classified road on a holding of more than 5 hectares. The development is not permitted under Part 6, Class A (h) of the General Permitted Development Order 2015 and Full Planning permission is therefore required.
From the council's decision notice.
