The council has approved plans to build new stables on a field in Leckhampton, replacing the existing barn structure. This decision has sparked concerns among local residents and developers who fear that the new stables may be strategically positioned to block views and hinder future development projects behind them. Despite these apprehensions, the proposals include the demolition of the old barn and the erection of modern stables in a different location within the field. Supporters argue that the new facilities will enhance local equestrian amenities, while critics worry about the long-term implications for the area’s development potential.
