To consider application UTT/20/0930/FUL.

The Planning Officer presented an application for construction of manege and the erection of a stable block. This application had been deferred from Planning Committee on 29 September 2021 to allow for a site visit to take place.

The application was recommended for approval with conditions.

Members discussed:

·         The protection of two ancient oak trees.

·         Condition 7 relating to any proposed floodlighting, including the stable blocks.

·         Placing hours of operation on the external lighting.

·         The facility being used for personal as opposed to commercial use.

·         The public right of way.

Councillor Sutton proposed that the application be approved with additional conditions:

·         to ensure that the facility was for personal rather than commercial use,

·         existing Condition 7 to include reference to the stable block and that Policy GEN5 and GEN7 be incorporated in addition to GEN2.

·         The addition of a condition on the hours of operation for the external lighting.

Councillor Emanuel seconded the motion.
