12/0190M-Replacement of Existing Indoor Arena Building with a new Building to be used as an Indoor Riding Arena and the Erection of a General Purpose Storage Building for Pinfold Stables, Pinfold Lane, Marthall for Mr D Lilley pdf icon PDF 415 KB

To consider the above application.

Minutes:

Consideration was given to the above application.  It was noted that the request for the erection of a general purpose storage building had been withdrawn by the applicant and that the proposal was now for the replacement of an existing indoor arena building.

 

(The Northern Area Manager read out a statement on behalf of the Ward Councillor, Councillor G Walton.  Susan Jones, the agent for the applicant attended the meeting and spoke in respect of the application).

 

RESOLVED

 

That the application be delegated to the Development Manager and Building Control Manager in consultation with the Chairman and Ward Councillor for approval subject to the following conditions:

 

Indoor riding arena to be demolished if ceases to be used as an equestrian facility within 10 years and if no re-use granted by the LPA within 2 years of it ceasing to be used as such.

 

The reasons for this were that whilst it was inappropriate development in the Green Belt, it was considered very special circumstances existed based on a combination of:

a)    Replacement of building and modernisation of facilities

b)    Limited impact on openness and no harm to visual amenity due to location of building within existing complex

c)     Benefit to rural economy and access to equestrian facilities

 

(This decision was contrary to the Officers recommendation of refusal).
