Dog walking area in East Grinstead is approved by council

Plans for a new secure dog walking facility near East Grinstead, West Sussex, have been approved.

Mid Sussex District Council granted planning permission for the field near Imberhorne Lane, which covers 3.5 acres and is part of a 57-acre agricultural holding, to be used as a secure dog walking area.

The plans will see the field surrounded by 6ft high stock fencing, a small shelter erected, and an area of hardstanding created for a car park.

The field will be available for exclusive hire by the hour and all bookings will be made and paid for online.
