Application
Formation of an

below:-
There is concern that due to the number of stables
associated with this property the larger sized riding arena will be for
Commercial use and not purely domestic.
There is a problem with the access road as it is a
narrow lane with no passing places. This lane is shared by 3 properties, a
holiday cottage and is also used to access agricultural land. There is an
outstanding Enforcement Order (20/00172/BRPC15) about passing places on this
