A planning application has been submitted to turn agricultural land north of Mark Road in Highbridge into a dog‑walking and recreational field. The proposal seeks permission to create a second secure dog‑walking area alongside an existing field already used by the applicants’ business. The dog‑walking site operates daily between 5am and 10pm, with customers booking 30‑ or 60‑minute sessions online. Permission was granted in 2023 for an agricultural livestock building, and in 2024 for the change of use of nearby land to dog‑walking and recreational use. Residents can submit comments on the application, submitted under application number 11/26/00003, until 24th February 2026.
