Change of use for buildings at Keith farm
Wittets Limited submitted an application on behalf of Mrs T Shanks for the change of use.
The business plan will utilise existing facilities, offer limited livery stables for local horse owners, promote sustainable methods of field management, and provide occasional summer clinics for local riders.
This comes as there is demand for clinics as people need to currently travel to Aberdeenshire or the Highlands.
British Sidesaddle Association Jane McDonald-Pryor is interested in providing a clinic.
Planning documents previously said: “It is proposed to have a total equine management system, that allows for the management of horses, the land, the environment and reduces land degradation.
“Cross grazing (with sheep) is also proposed for better weed management, parasitic worm management, and reduction in pasture plant wastage.”
