Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development upon the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise, odours and outlook

What decided it

The keeping of horses at this scale goes beyond being incidental to residential use and would result in significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and odours that cannot be effectively mitigated by planning conditions.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy DM2 of the Island Plan Core Strategy (2012)
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 130
