Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect upon the character and appearance of the rural area
Whether or not it has been satisfactorily demonstrated that the proposal would have an acceptable effect upon biodiversity, having particular regard to the impact upon GCNs and to biodiversity net gain

What decided it

The cumulative scale, construction and appearance of the proposed barns and arenas would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the rural area, which is the overriding consideration.

The limited recreational benefits and small biodiversity net gain do not outweigh the considerable harm to character and appearance of the rural area.

Plan policies cited: Policy GP77, Policy GP35, Emerging Policy C2, Emerging Policy NE1

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
