Planning for horses

Article Abstract:

Planning permission is required for buildings which relate to the use of horses for both private and commercial use. Agricultural usage requires no planning permission but usually only involves horses being bred for slaughter and food or the grazing of horses. Problems may arise where horses are being grazed and also housed for recreational purposes. Government policy states that equestrian buildings have to be constructed to a high specification and care is taken not to adversely effect the countryside. The intrusive nature of floodlighting, fences and jumps may result in the failure of a planning application.

Practical planning advice

Article Abstract:

Recent planning decisions in the UK have concerned the closing of public spaces, listed building definitions, and design-and-build applications. An appeal inspector in Cambridge allowed a shopping precinct to be closed off at night despite increasing public opposition to open space closures. The listed building case concerned the appeal by Westminster council against having to pay compensation for a planning refusal on the removal of a chimney breast from a listed building. The argument that the work comprised demolition, not alteration, was overturned by the House of Lords.

Rethinking the planning system

Article Abstract:

The UK's current planning system has many negative features, according to the British Property Federation (BPF). This organization is calling for the government to address the planning system's fundamental problems, rather than simply making minor changes. In its review of the planning system, the BPF calls for more emphasis to be placed on the plan-led approach. It believes that matters of national importance should be handled at national level and that a formulaic approach to planning gain should be adopted.
