Council Acts To ‘Protect’ Land In Little Bowden

Harborough Council has acted to ensure no work can take place until it considers a controversial planning application to use land in Little Bowden as a private dog walking field.

It has served an  ‘Immediate Article 4 Direction’ notice on the land off Braybrooke Road, which removes certain permitted development rights, meaning no gates, fences or walls can be put up.

Planning permission is not usually needed for that.

Over 60 people have objected to the plan to use the land as a dog walking area.
