Nottinghamshire church could become doggy daycare

Plans to turn a former church in Burton Joyce, Nottinghamshire, into a doggy daycare centre have been submitted to Gedling Borough Council.

The planning documents request a change of use for Burton Joyce Community Church, which was put up for sale last year with a price tag of £295,000 with pews and organ still in place. The building was used as a church up until mid-2022 and has remained vacant since.

The application says no new floor space is to be created as a result of the plans and no internal or external alterations are proposed. The site currently does not have any on-site vehicle parking and this won’t change under the plans.

The new doggy daycare will employ 15 full-time members of staff.
