Representation Summary:

Policy DM9 Horse & Equestrian development/activities – The inclusion, for the first time, of a policy relating to equestrian activity is very much to be welcomed. However, the policy should amended in two important ways:
a. Requirement i. should read: “not have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the countryside or nearby settlements; and”
b. Requirement iii. should read: ”not generate unacceptable volumes of horsebox traffic on inappropriate local roads but comply with an agreed Transport Plan to ensure safe and acceptable forms of access;”
