Plans for secure dog walking facility in Highbridge approved

Somerset Council has approved plans for a new secure dog walking field outside Highbridge.

Applicants JE & LP Reason had sought permission to use agricultural land at at Watchfield Lawn in Walrow, Highbridge, for ‘dog walking and recreation’.

The plans show a barn will be used as an enclosed indoor space, while a 1.9m fence and a secure car park would be built.

The facility will be accessed using an existing gateway and stone track from Mark Road.

The dog field will be open 6am-8pm in the summer and between 6am-6pm in the winter.
