Plans for dog park in North Yorkshire submitted

Plans for a new dog park in east Cleveland, North Yorkshire, have been submitted to Redcar and Cleveland Council.

Saltburn Dog Adventure Park would be sited in a field between east Cleveland and Brotton. Almost one and a half acres of the eight-acre field at Gillside on Saltburn Road, opposite the entrance to Ladgate Farm, would be converted into the facility.

The park would be enclosed with a 1.8m high post and wire fence, according to the plans.

The application says: “The land which has been identified for this use is within a field that has only ever been used for grazing due to the steep hills within it. Areas of the land to be developed will be secured in a 1.8m high fence.

“The current agricultural use for the rest of the field will remain unchanged, with the owners own retired ponies and a few sheep continuing to graze. The dog park will mainly remain grass land, with an area allowed to grow long to improve the biodiversity of the field, encouraging native flowers to grow.”
