The site and surroundings
The 0.98-hectare site is an open field with modest stables in a semi-rural area near listed historic homes and countryside.

“The site comprises an open field which contains some modest stables. The area is semi-rural in character.”
Officer report
What officers recommended
Officers recommended approval because the scheme was materially unchanged from the allowed appeal and its benefits outweighed the identified harms.
“There has been no material change in the proposal or site circumstances sufficient to justify departing from the Inspector’s findings. The identified harms would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the development, and outline planning permission is therefore recommended subject to conditions.”

Who spoke
