In 2023, we assisted Lee and Emilia Pritchard, equine dentists, in gaining planning consent for a new American barn to provide stabling for their own horses and family ponies, as well as an all-weather turnout pen.
Equestrian American Barn and Sand School, Wendron, Helston
HL Rural gained planning permission for an American barn with stabling, tack room, rug room stabling and kitchen along with an Olympic-size sand school. The permission was obtained on behalf of a professional dressage rider on their land near Wendron, Helston. The site had archaeological and heritage constraints in that it contained a Celtic round. A specialist archaeological report was commissioned along with a ground survey to support the application. This provided the information required to allow the planning officer to support the application, and the applicants were able to gain planning consent.
Equestrian Stable Block and Fodder Store, Frogpool, Cornwall
HL Rural gained planning consent in 2025 for an equestrian stable block and feed store along with a new entrance track at Frogpool, Cornwall.
Alexandra Dunn Racing - National Hunt Stables and Dwelling
