Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the stable/feed store building on the living conditions of those living in close proximity to the site
  • The effect of the works on the Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM)

What decided it

The stable building's location is fundamentally incompatible with both residential amenity due to unavoidable odours from the animals and the protection of the Scheduled Ancient Monument due to poaching damage from hooved animals in a sensitive archaeological area.
