Cuckfield could get a new dog walking facility: application aims to change use of agricultural land

Paw Paddock Ltd wants to change the use of land to the south of Holmsted Farm, Staplefield Road, and provide a place where people can exercise their dogs with perimeter fencing, a pathway, a shelter and parking for four cars.

The application is pending consideration.

The design and access statement said: “The idea behind this application is driven by a huge demand to be able to allow dogs dealing with social or behavioural difficulties to walk freely without the fear of loss or interaction with other dogs/wildlife. The site will be limited to exclusive use with a maximum of four dogs.”

The application also includes plans for two dog waste bins and a weekly collection. Paw Paddock Ltd currently has sites in Horsham, Ashington and other UK towns. View the application at pa.midsussex.gov.uk/online-applications using reference DM/23/0208.
