Former Norwich dentist could become groomers

A former dental surgery in Heartsease in Norwich, Norfolk, could become a new dog grooming business.

A planning application for a new salon on Rider Haggard Road has been filed with Norwich City Council.

Applicant Kate Robinson wants to provide a one-to-one service by appointment only, grooming up to six dogs each day, with provision for an apprentice.

In the application, Robinson wrote: “Having lived on the Heartsease Estate all my life, 40 years, I want to give the utmost care and consideration to the neighbours.

“I intend to install insulation and sound absorption tiles to mitigate noise emanating from the building.”

There would be two parking spaces available at the salon and the proposed opening hours are 8.30am to 6pm from Monday to Saturday.
