Wychbold dog walking field approved

A new secure dog walking field is set to open in Wychbold, Worcestershire, after plans were given the green light despite opposition from local residents.

The 2.5-hectare Brine Pits Lane site, which is currently an overgrown field, is about 300 metres from the M5 motorway.

Plans for the facility were given the go-ahead despite concerns over traffic and the approval of plans for a dog park in nearby Crown Lane earlier this year.

Dodderhill Parish Council objected to the plans for a number of reasons, including concerns over the impact on wildlife on the site and a lack of privacy for residents.

The facility will operate a booking system with 40-minute appointments taking place on the hour, every hour. A maximum of six dogs will be allowed on the field at any one time.
