A GLEASTON couple's plans for a dog training area met with approval from South Lakeland District Council.

Mr and Mrs Murray are proposing a stable-type shelter in a field at Carrs Lane, Gleaston, to provide dry, indoor space for dog training and exercising, and a 'brew room' for dog owners.

Fifty-five people signed a petition supporting the plan, according to planning documents.

Aldingham Parish Council said it did not object, provided noise was kept to a minimum.
