Getting fed up of trawling local council website and Planning Portal so wondered if someone can give me a shortcut!
I have been told by all and sundry that I definitely need planning permission to build a manege. However, I cannot find anywhere the policy that tells me that I do. I'm a chartered surveyor, and although I don't specialise in planning, I have done a fair few applications in the past and know how to read a local plan, so I hope I'm not being a numpty!
Class G permitted development (in the general permitted development order 1995) says that "The provision within the curtilage of a dwellinghouse of a hard surface for any purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse as such" is permitted. This could well be applied to an outdoor riding surface.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a specific general development policy which says you have to get PP for a manege? There's nothing in my local plan which I can find which says I need it.
And before you suggest ringing the council, they were completely unhelpful and told me to fill in the "request for information about permitted development" form or somesuch, which costs £65 and takes 21 days. It drives me mental, they also charge you for pre-application advice these days too!
Thanks
PS grr for the spelling error in the title, think the computer must have changed it for me!
