Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether there is an essential need for a rural worker to live at the site for the functional requirements of an equestrian enterprise
  • the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate that the equestrian business had a clear prospect of remaining financially sound in the future, as required by DPD Policy DM8.

the limited benefits of the temporary dwelling, including economic benefits and energy efficiency, did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan arising from the unproven future financial viability of the business
