RESOLVED: that the application be deferred and delegated the application to the Director of Planning and Environment to grant planning permission, subject to the conditions set out in the report and with an additional Condition that a native species of hedge be planted along the Southern boundary and subject to no new points of objection being raised during the remainder of the publicity period.

Variation of condition 11 (approved plans) of planning permission PL/22/3758/FA (Demolition of 3 outbuildings and construction of detached building comprising 6 stables, erection of fencing and laying out of manège) to allow alterations to elevations of approved stables, replacement of one stable space with tack room, provision of toilet within stable building, provision of stone drainage path and amendment of proportions of manège and associated fencing.

Members voted unanimously in favour of the motion to refuse the application because the changes to the stone drainage path, the hardstanding and the proportions of the manège would cause unacceptable incremental harm to Chilterns National Landscape.
