Location – Land at rear of Scotlands Ash, Reading Road
Application – proposed change of use from agricultural land to orchard, vegetable garden and private equestrian use
Applicant - Mr P Mansbridge
Application Date received 10th June 2011
Parish Council Reply – an extraordinary PC meeting was held on 21st June. The Parish Council objected to this application, raising the following concerns:
- Safety of Access: concern regarding the movement of slow moving vehicles on and off site onto the fast moving traffic on the A417. The existing access would not appear suitable
- Impact on the mature hedgerow, existing trees, wildlife and boundary ménage
- No explanation as to how the animal waste would be dealt
- No explanation as to how the surface water from the equestrian building is to be dealt with.
It was noted that in a previous application (UPT/20551) permitted by the Vale the plan of the site showed a proposed nature area and fruit trees. On the current plan this area is shown as “blank”. We note from a site visit that this area appears to currently be in use as a private garden on agricultural land.
District Council Decision –
