Oswestry set to welcome new doggy daycare

A new doggy daycare is set to open in St Martins in Oswestry, Shropshire, after securing planning permission.

Applicant Julia Hevingham sought permission to change of use of land and disused stable in New Marton for the new facility.

The plan says: “The centre will be run by the applicants’ family and will make use of a redundant stable block and part of their land holding to provide an exercise and training area.”

In a report, an officer for Shropshire Council’s planning department said that potential noise at the site would be limited as “no facilities would be provided on weekends or bank holidays and the intention is that drop off and collection times would be flexible”.

“An additional dog taxi service would also be offered,” they added.
