Ide dog walking field given green light

Plans for a dog-walking field in Ide, Devon, have been given the go-ahead.

Teignbridge Council’s planning committee agreed plans to change the use of an agricultural field off Idestone Lane into a dog-walking field for private hire.

Dog walkers will be able to book half-hour sessions at the field, with a maximum of four dogs  allowed at a time.

The field contains a Roman signal station, where a coin and pottery were found, which will be protected by sturdy fences.

The council’s planning committee gave the plans the go-ahead by a five-vote majority.
