One person has minor injuries, police say.
In an update to social media, the force says "a small aircraft was involved in an emergency landing at around 1.40pm".

We’re looking at the closure of the runway at Birmingham Airport as a result of what it says is an "aircraft incident".
We have just seen some images, posted on X, that show a small plane on the runway surrounded by emergency vehicles. Its tail is sitting on the tarmac.
The plane is a Beech B200 Super King Air belonging to Woodgate Aviation, a charter firm based at Belfast International Airport.
Records on flight-tracking site FlightRadar 24 show a similar plane departed from Birmingham at 12:17 BST.
It was due to fly to Belfast but turned around minutes after departure and headed back towards the airport. After circling, it landed at around 12:57.
The reason for this is still unclear but we're looking for updates.
Three flights have been diverted to East Midlands Airport (EMA) this afternoon, an EMA spokesperson says.
EMA is located north-east of Birmingham, about a 45 minute drive from Birmingham Airport.
Passengers are being told to follow Birmingham Airport's X page for the latest, external.
