Planning appeal decision

Dismissed3 July 20243329098

Scatterbrook Stables Ringwood Road, Woodlands, Southampton, SO40 7GX

Planning appeal 3329098 at Scatterbrook Stables Ringwood Road, Woodlands, Southampton, SO40 7GX (New Forest) was dismissed on 3 July 2024 by Inspector Moore J, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the proposed development is in an appropriate location.

retrospective planning permission is requested for 7no. shepherds huts and 2no. shipping containers, recycling/waste storage, and a parking and turning area at each unit suitable for 1no. car per unit. An existing entrance to the site is utilised with the use of an access track which then leads to a new permeable path directly to the units. Also intended are associated footpaths and landscaping of the site. A cesspit has been installed to manage waste from the unit

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development is in an appropriate location
  • the effect of the proposed development upon the character of the area, including the protected landscape of the National Park

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan by introducing new visitor accommodation outside defined villages without meeting policy exceptions, and would cause significant harm to the character and protected landscape of the National Park, with limited economic benefits insufficient to outweigh this harm.
