Equestrian Uses
Recreational equestrian uses such as riding schools are generally acceptable in principle if ancillary buildings are appropriately scaled and integrated into the landscape. Reuse of existing traditional or redundant farm buildings is encouraged where possible.
The keeping and riding of horses for recreational purposes is increasingly popular in many parts of the countryside. Outdoor participatory recreational uses such as riding schools will normally be considered acceptable in principle, provided the scale of ancillary buildings is appropriate to its location and can be integrated into their landscape surroundings. Wherever possible, consideration should be given to the reuse of existing traditional or redundant farm buildings in association with such proposals.
