Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the landscape character of the area, including the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
- whether the proposal is a suitable form of development having regard to the Council's spatial strategy
What decided it
The proposed development would introduce substantial built form that would detract from the character and appearance of the AONB and fail to meet the spatial strategy exception for outdoor sport and recreation, as it enables riding to be undertaken indoors rather than outdoors.

- Policy CP9Policy DM30Policy DM35Policy DM44
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 176
