Oldberrow Manor Ullenhall Lane Ullenhall Henley-in-Arden B95 5PF

1. 1.1. By virtue of the scale and massing of the proposed equine building and its siting within an open field network, it is considered to have an unacceptable impact on the openness of the Green Belt. Very special circumstances have not been shown to outweigh this harm and other harm identified. As such, the proposed development is considered contrary to Policy CS.10 of the Stratford-on-Avon District Core Strategy (2011-2031) and NDMP GB7 of the NPPF (2026).
2. 2.The proposed equine building would result in the introduction of additional built form with associated hardstanding into the rural landscape and Arden SLA. The development by reason of its size, scale, siting, is considered to have an unacceptable visual impact on the rural character of the area and the key qualities of the Arden SLA. Therefore, the proposed development is considered contrary to Policies CS.5, CS.9 and CS.12 of the Stratford-on-Avon District Core Strategy (2011- 2031), Policy DS.11 of the emerging SWLP and NDMP DP3 of the NPPF (2026). Case Officer: Stuart McIver Reference No.
3. 3.It is considered that insufficient information has been submitted regarding the flood impacts of the proposed development. The proposed development has not adequately demonstrated how future users would be safe for the lifetime of the development or how the development is flood resistant. As such, the proposed development is considered contrary to Policy CS.4 of the Stratford-on-Avon Core Strategy (2011 - 2031) and NDMP F7 of the NPPF (2026).
