Poppy View Farm, Stone Hill Lane, Everton, DN10 5BT

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• Appeal A: whether the proposed mixed use for agriculture and kennelling of dogs, with a residential caravan, would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of nearby occupants through noise and would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the area
• Appeal B: whether the erection of an extension to the stables, constructed with pebbledash concrete sectional walls and timber sheet roof, causes harm to visual amenity and whether it should be demolished or permitted subject to conditions

What decided it

Appeal A failed due to lack of evidence demonstrating that noise from kennelling and outdoor dog exercise would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbours' living conditions and that the use would not be detrimental to rural character. Appeal B succeeded because the extension could be finished to match the stables' appearance, satisfying visual amenity concerns, subject to a condition controlling final external appearance.
