A PLANNING application has been submitted for a slip and slide attraction near Wimborne – that is already open.

The Mega Slip and Slide – which sees people jump down an enormous water slide – is welcoming visitors at Mill Street, between Wimborne and Corfe Mullen.

However, a planning application dated July 21 has been submitted to Dorset Council for permission to temporarily use 1.13 hectares of agricultural land for the attraction.

The application said work on the site began on June 28 and includes details of the structure to support the slide.
