Derbyshire dog care firm secures planning permission

Doggy daycare and home boarding business Pets and Pups has been granted permission to convert a garage and office at 22 Sporton Lane, South Normanton in Derbyshire, into business premises.

Jake Mortland, whose wife Elle Vernon runs the business, submitted the application for change of use. The business holds an environmental health licence permitting up to 10 dogs on the premises.

Four letters of objection about the change of use application were submitted to Bolsover District Council.

The council approved the application, but attached stringent conditions, including:

• Between 7am and 8pm there must be no more than 10 dogs on the premises at any one time for business purposes.
• Permission is granted for three years from 4 September 2023, after which the space must revert to a house or a new application approved.
