objection providing the garage and new office remain ancillary to the house and are not sub-let.
b) 56449/002: Lawful development certificate for an existing use – use of site for commercial equine purposes, The Old Barn, Frensham Lane, Churt. Object - the following comment was submitted before the meeting due to time constraints and approved at the meeting. We are in receipt of LDC Application 56449/002 relating to land associated with an unidentified property described as “The Old Barn”. The land in question was described in LDC Application 56449/001 as “Land north of New Farm Cottage”. New Farm Cottage is a private dwelling in separate ownership. Neither Application is described as Moonlight Riding Stables (Ltd) the name of the company owning the land. We note that the current LDC is supported by six Sworn Affidavits (two provided by Directors of Moonlight Riding Stables Ltd) some of which replicate the Witness Statements attached to 56449/001, although they do not appear to counter the observations in the Officer’s Report and Refusal of this Application. We are in support of the detailed Report leading to the Refusal but advise that historically, this application site was not known as Wishanger Trotting & Livery Stables (now Hanger Lodge) and do not consider that any new evidence has been provided to counter this Refusal. We would point out certain apparent errors in the Application Form: 1) 8. Site Visit. The site CAN be seen from a public road, ie Frensham Lane, as the land slopes down from the Lane; 2) 10. Interest in the Land. The applicant has ticked “Occupier” but has not confirmed whether the owner has been notified in writing. The Parish Council’s previous comments and Objections to applications on this site in the 20148/xxx and 56449/xxx series are on the District Council’s files and are listed in the Officer’s Report for Refusal 56449/001.
