Evolve is the UK's leading planning consultancy for secure dog walking fields, offering extensive and specialist expertise that is invaluable in securing planning permission for these facilities.
While obtaining planning permission for the change of use of land to a dog walking facility may appear straightforward, the reality is often far more complex. Proposals must be carefully assessed from a planning and environmental perspective, including considerations to local and national planning policies relating to development in the countryside and technical matters of highway safety and access, ecological and habitat impacts, neighbouring amenity, and compatibility with surrounding land uses.
Evolve possesses a detailed understanding of the planning arguments, supporting evidence, and technical assessments required for each individual site. This ensures that every application is robustly prepared, proportionate to the site's constraints and opportunities, and positioned to maximise the prospects of securing planning permission efficiently and within an appropriate timescale.
Secure dog walking fields represent an important form of rural diversification. Evolve has successfully promoted and secured permission for a significant number of schemes by demonstrating how such developments can support the long-term viability of existing farming enterprises, contribute positively to the rural economy through the creation of new enterprise, and meet the increasing demand for safe, secure, and exclusive dog walking spaces.
Having coordinated and managed more than 50 secure dog walking field applications across the UK, achieving a 94% success rate, and having appraised in excess of 100 sites, Evolve's experience in this specialist sector is unrivalled. The practice is currently supporting applications throughout England, Wales, and Scotland.
