Largs doggy daycare plans rejected over noise concerns

North Ayrshire Council has refused plans for a new doggy daycare in Largs.

Businesswoman Lynsey Ewing had applied for planning permission for the facility – called The Pooch Pod – at the Bluestone Gift Shop premises in Lovat Street.

However, her plans were met by opposition from some neighbours over the noise caused by barking dogs, smells, and the six-foot fence in the garden area surrounding the building.

The council refused planning permission as the plan would “place nearby noise sensitive properties at significant risk of disturbance by way of noise, to the detriment of the residential amenity”.
