Fears new Leeds dog park will destroy 'peace and quiet' with pets barking all day

An outdoor exercise park for dogs has been allowed to open on a trial basis in west Leeds, despite concerns over noise from barking.

The pet recreation facility, in Calverley, will be allowed to run for an initial 12 months, after temporary planning permission was granted on Thursday.

The plans had drawn anger from some neighbours living on Clara Drive in the area, with the site on a disused patch of land by Carr Farm Cottages to the south. They claimed they’d be disturbed by barking for much of the day, with the facility set to be open between 8am and 8pm from Monday to Saturday and 9am to 6pm on Sundays.
