Greysteel dog activity park approved
Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council’s Planning Committee has approved plans for a new dog activity park in Greysteel.
Members of March’s Planning Committee were presented with the application for the change of use from an existing open green space, at The Vale Centre Clooney Road, Vale Business Park, to an outdoor dog activity park.
An accompanying officers’ report said the proposal complies with the Northern Area Plan 2016, the SPPS (Strategic Planning Policy Statement) and Policy OS1 of Planning Policy Statement 8, Open Space, Sport and Outdoor Recreation in that it “does not result in the loss of existing open space or land zoned for the provision of open space”.
Officers noted there were no objections from consultees or letters of representation received, and recommended approval.
The site is sandwiched between two existing football pitches and will comprise two confined areas with an array of obstacles for the dogs to provide controlled, safe and managed environment for dog exercise, socialisation and behaviour training.
