A farmer has been given the go-ahead to turn a field into a dog walking meadow.
Kit Papworth has been given planning permission to change the use of the site at Tuttington, near Aylsham.
In a design and access statement, he said the field at Lower Farm, off Beck Lane, would be available for use seven days a week, all year.
He added: "It has the potential to create part-time employment locally and provide a service for the growing need to exercise dogs in a secure area at times to suit the dog owners."

Mr Papworth said owners would book 25 or 55-minute slots online, with a limit of four dogs for a single booking and eight for a group.
The facility will open from 8am - 4pm during the winter months and 6am - 9pm in summer.
A planning officer's report said: "The proposal will provide a facility for local people and is a new business that is of a scale to suit its location and surroundings.
"For these reasons it is considered that the principle of the proposal is acceptable."
