Property
Planning Permission... 4
As with any property it is always a good idea to see what permissions are likely to be allowed, and more importantly if any restrictions have already been placed on the use of the land. Also if you need to convert any outbuildings there may be change of use issues and permission
may be needed, especially if the property is Listed. The old adage forewarned is forearmed is always a good one when considering the labyrinth that is British planning laws. As Charlene Goudkuil, a member of the equestrian team at estate agents FennWright, explains: “Most equestrian property falls outside of urban areas and/or in open countryside. Planning policies here generally presumes against development. At FennWright, we recommend getting appropriate advice and expertise from equestrian specialists who deal with planning applications to give you the best chance of a successful application.”

The British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA) in its National Equestrian Survey (2010-2011) reported that the estimated British horse population, including both private and professional ownership, is just below one million horses (988,000). With the Hurlingham Polo Association (HPA) reporting that it has more than 3,000 members registered and handicapped by them, there will always be strong competition for the best equine properties. Charlene Goudkuil of FennWright adds: “Market conditions do vary across the country but in today’s market it can take anywhere between four and 12 months to purchase a property. Equestrian properties under £500,000 are on the market for a shorter period of time, but properties over £1m have fewer market transactions.”
