FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you need planning permission to build horse walkers?

You will tend to need planning permission when:

  • You're making significant changes to land with the walker
  • The stables are for uses other than private, as is the case when used for livery, riding schools, or breeding
  • Horse walkers are built on agricultural land
  • Structures are built to be permanent, as with brick-built or timber-framed on concrete bases


If your land is currently classified as agricultural, using it for horse walking (even when it's for personal use) is considered a material change of use and so this will require planning permission.

Are walkers good for horses?

When used correctly, walkers can be highly beneficial to horses, offering controlled exercise for improved muscle and cardiovascular health, These are not a substitute for natural riding or turnout and should be used with the best surface quality and take into account the horse's temperament.

Do horse stables need foundations?

Fixed horse stables do need foundations in the initial stages of construction to prevent them from sinking in changing ground conditions and to withstand storms. As the UK experiences a wide range of weather year-round, it is imperative to build foundations first and foremost.

How big does a horse walker need to be?

The standard diameter for a horse walker ranges from 50 to 72 feet. There are sometimes requests for larger walkers which we can accommodate and plan out in the initial stages of a site evaluation.
