Construction of an outdoor equestrian arena

Why Was This Approved?

• ✓Outdoor arena not readily visible from surrounding area
• ✓Use restricted by condition to occupants of the adjacent property
• ✓Planning Committee determination aligned with officer recommendation
• ✓Previous refusal of indoor arena on same site for visual impact grounds distinguished
• ✓materials
• ✓construction of an outdoor equestrian arena within the curtilage of a large detached dwelling

The application sought permission to construct an outdoor equestrian arena within the curtilage of a large detached dwelling and outbuildings in Lonan. The key planning issue was visual impact. A condition was attached limiting use of the arena to the occupants of the adjacent property. The Planning Committee agreed with the officer's recommendation and granted permission.

The outdoor arena was approved because it would not be readily visible, meaning the visual impact concern that had led to the refusal of an earlier indoor arena on the same site did not apply. A condition restricting use to the occupants of the adjacent property was attached to address any amenity concerns.
