Plans for Sunderland self-service dog wash submitted

Plans for a self-service dog wash on the seafront in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, have been submitted. 

Applicant NE Dog Wash, which already operates from locations in Blyth, Whitley Bay and several country parks, is seeking planning permission to install a machine near the Marine Walk council car park in Roker. 

The dog wash stations provide cycles including shampoo, rinse, conditioner, ‘further rinse’, and blow dry. 

If approved, the dog wash would open Monday to Saturday from 8am until 8pm, and on Sundays from 10am until 4pm.  

A decision on the planning application will be made after a consultation has concluded.
