Section 01
Development description
the construction of a riding arena with associated fencing and floodlights.
Section 02
Decision
The appeal is dismissed.
Section 03
Background and Main Issue
Planning permission was granted for a riding arena with associated fencing and floodlights which included a condition requiring a scheme for the minimisation of the effects of floodlights to be submitted and agreed with the Council. The reason given for the condition is to protect the amenity of neighbouring properties. The appellant does not consider the condition should have been imposed with reference to various factors.
Taking the above background into account, the main issue is whether the condition is reasonable or necessary in the interests of the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
Section 04
Reasons
The planning permission subject of this appeal included the provision of floodlights. The imposition of the disputed planning condition does not prevent the installation of floodlights, but rather requires details to be first submitted and agreed with the Council as Local Planning Authority.
Some details of the lighting scheme have already been submitted. However, they do not show details of any measures to avoid unnecessary light spillage from the floodlights. [name] note the presence of tall trees to one side of the riding arena and the nearby industrial area which has numerous floodlights, I still consider it reasonable and necessary, in the interests of living conditions, for the imposition of a condition on floodlighting to avoid adverse light glare on neighbouring occupiers.
Accordingly, I conclude that condition 3 is reasonable and necessary, and would ensure that the development complies with Policy PD1 of the Adopted Derbyshire Dales Local Plan (2017), which seeks, amongst other matters, for development to not have an unacceptable effect by reason of light pollution or by other adverse impacts on local character and amenity.
Section 05
[name]
Although reference has been made by the appellant to discussions with the Planning Officer where it was stated that the disputed condition should not have been applied, it is evident from the Council’s Statement1 that they consider this subject condition to be necessary. I have determined the appeal before me on its own merits.
Section 06
Conclusion
For the reasons given above, I conclude the appeal should be dismissed.
