Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect on the character and appearance of the area
whether the scheme would harm the significance of nearby listed buildings, the Registered Park and Garden of Farnborough Hall and/or the Farnborough Conservation Area, by reason of its effects on their respective settings

What decided it

The proposal's location within a valley with existing boundary trees and its contextual relationship to the established equestrian complex meant it would not be visually prominent or harm the significance of any heritage assets, allowing the appeal to be determined on the merits of the development plan policies supporting equestrian expansion.

Plan policies cited: Policy AS.10, Policy CS.22, Policy CS.5, Policy CS.9, Policy CS.12, Policy CS.8

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.
