Plans to convert land in Hopwas, Staffordshire, into a dog walking field have been approved. The proposals sought a change of use for a 0.71-acre plot at Bodnetts Farm on Plantation Lane. A new fence line will be erected to the western and eastern side of the proposed dog pen with standard wire and a hardstanding area will allow a maximum of two cars to be able to park and turn. The facility will operate on a pre-booking system. The facility will open seven days a week between 06:00-18:00 during the autumn/winter and between 06:00-22:00 during the spring/summer.
