Its current consent is for agriculture and forestry use however there isn t any on Barfold Farm. Chesterton Humberts have reported it is three times as large as is necessary for any conceivable farming activity. It is used to store 2 tractors which cut the grass on the polo field, which is an equestrian activity. This is the third change of use to stabling application that we have had to consider since 2012. 1
APPENDIX 1 Is there a case for stabling in this barn? The reality is that it will never happen in this form. It is too remote to exist on its own. The fact is that this is seen as the key to obtaining the new stable blocks to meet the requirement for 80 horses. The committee unanimously agreed to object to the application. 135/14 PLANNING APPLICATIONS The following comments were sent to WBC.
