Fife dog park plans submitted

Plans for a new dog park near Saline, Fife, have been submitted to the local authority.

Applicant Laura Inglis, of Blairsgreen Farm, has applied to Fife Council to change the use of around 1.2 hectares of agricultural land.

Owners would be able to book one-hour slots for their dog and the plans include the erection of a shelter, gate and boundary fence, floodlighting, and the formation of a parking area.

A planning statement said: “The application also serves to increase the economic viability of the existing rural enterprise operations on a working farm and in turn to help the site owner future-proof farm operations through this diversification.”

If approved, the exercise park would be open from 6am to 9pm, April to October, and 8am to 5pm between November and March.
