March could welcome nine-acre dog park

Plans for a new nine-acre secure dog park in March, Cambridgeshire, have been submitted to Fenland Council.

Applicant Sean Saxby of MJS Investments (March) is seeking permission to change of use of agricultural land east of Mill Hill roundabout in Wimblington Road – opposite the Priory Golf site – to a dog park.

The plans include the installation of secure fencing up to 1.8m high, shelters, and for the formation of new access and car parking.

The site will be split into four different fields separated by fencing and each double-gated. There will also be benches, waste disposal stations, and shelters placed throughout the park.

In addition, accessible water sources, such as dog-friendly drinking fountains or splash pads, will be installed.

The facility will operate from 5am to 11pm daily.
