Full Planning Permission Secured for Private Equestrian Facilities

Outdoor riding arena and lunge pen layout designed for private equestrian use

Fytche-Taylor Planning Ltd successfully obtained planning permission for a new private equestrian development in Stickney, Lincolnshire, acting as the client’s agent from concept through to approval.

The approved scheme at the client's home includes a manège (riding arena), lunge pen, stable block with hardstanding, and the creation of a new vehicular access, alongside carefully designed boundary treatments to complement the rural setting.

Our Role
We provided a complete planning and design service, including:

  • Initial site appraisal and planning advice to assess constraints and opportunities

  • Preparation of scaled plans showing the proposed layout, access, lighting specification and surfacing

  • Submission of the full planning application with design and access statement

Our clear communication and detailed submission ensured that the application proceeded smoothly and achieved approval without delay.

Outcome
The project delivers a fully functional private equestrian facility that meets the client’s practical and leisure requirements while respecting the site’s rural character.

By integrating sensitive design, appropriate landscaping, and improved access, the development enhances both the usability and appearance of the site, setting a benchmark for well-planned rural equestrian projects.
