- 5 Greenfield Street Byers Green Spennymoor DL16 7PDAwaiting decisionField shelter for the welfare of two elderly ponies. The location behind the old outhouses was chosen to have as little impact as possible visually. It also adds protection for these which are falling into disrepair, against the prevailing winds. It is our intention to grass over the roof of the shelter to blend it further into the landscape. A solid construction is required due to the extremely strong winds we experience at our location.Received 18 Sep 2026DM/26/01631/FPA
