A £2million training centre for 64 racehorses is to be built near Ebrington.

The new development, which also includes stable buildings and staff accommodation, will be an extension to an equestrian business already based at Ebrington Hill Farm and will create around twelve jobs.

Concerns had been raised by Ebrington Parish Council regarding the effect that the plans could have on the surrounding area, with claims that the centre will increase traffic and the landscape will be changed from a “peaceful one to a working landscape intruded upon by buildings, fences and gallops”.

However, Cotswold District Council gave the plans the go-ahead on Wednesday.
