Plans for secure dog field near Winchester unveiled
Hampshire County Council has unveiled plans for new a secure dog field next to Crab Wood.
A planning application for two secure dog fields, which would be positioned on cleared, non-wooded areas, on Lanham Lane has been submitted to Winchester City Council for consideration. The facility would include a small number of dedicated parking spaces.
Councillor Kirsty North, the County Council’s Cabinet Lead for Universal Services, said: “As an ancient woodland, Crab Wood is an extremely special site for many species including bluebells, and we hope that a facility of this type would be a welcome addition.
“The income generated would go towards the set up and upkeep of the facility, and contribute to our work protecting Hampshire’s magnificent countryside, at a time when budgets are under extreme pressure.”
The new facility could be opened this autumn if approval is granted.
