A furious row has erupted in a mega-rich, picture-postcard village over plans to open an Equine Centre for children with special needs with upset locals alleging the site is being used by travellers.
Several wealthy members of the Cheshire set in Over Peover claim that the plans threaten to turn a bridleway into a rat-run.
And they say the development represents a threat to the area's tranquility and to their mental health.
Affluent Over Peover is situated in a well heeled area of Cheshire known as the exclusive ‘golden triangle’ and the surroundings are home to many famous faces including former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson.
At a heated Parish Council meeting, objectors told the land's owner, Dave Whitmore, that his plans to transform a grain store into riding stables would wreck the area and constitute a 'hazard'.
