General Policy 3
Restricts development outside zoned areas except for listed exceptions including essential agricultural/forestry operations. The proposal does not qualify under the exceptions, so acceptability turns to specific equestrian policies; officer assessed it does not meet GP3 strictly but is permitted via ENV19/21.
Environment Policy 19
Permits equestrian development in countryside if no loss of local amenity, no loss of Class 1/2 agricultural land, and highways can accommodate traffic. Assessed as compliant due to small scale, no amenity loss, minimal impact on Class 2 land, and no highway concerns raised by Highways Division.
Environment Policy 21
Prohibits horse shelters in countryside if detrimental to character/appearance via siting, design, size or finish; requires form/materials reflecting purpose, avoiding cavity-wall construction. Officer found modest size, hedgerow siting, amended position, open-fronted temporary design and olive green cladding acceptable, blending with countryside.
