Market Harborough could welcome new dog walking field

Plans have been submitted for a dog walking field in Market Harborough, Leicestershire.

Applicants Ms A Wareham and Ms K Judah, who own the former agricultural land at The Green Field on Welham Lane, have applied to Harborough District Council to convert the 2.1 acres of land into a dog walking field complete with parking.

The area of just over two acres would be fenced off to accommodate up to 12 dogs at any one time, with users able to book 25 minute or 55 minute slots, and car parking would also be created at the site.

The planning application say: “The paddock will be fenced off via a wired mesh fencing system with a secure gate provided at the entrance to ensure the safety of all pets and owners who come to use the facility.”

Harborough District Council is being asked to allow the change of use of the field.
