Plan for new dog grooming business in former gym and sunbed shop in South Shields
A new dog grooming business could set up shop in South Shields under plans submitted to borough development chiefs.
South Tyneside Council has received a planning application for a property in the Harton ward.
The site is listed as ‘S and C Fitness’ at 56 Horsley Hill Square, previously used as a sunbed shop and gym.
New plans are seeking permission for a change of use to a “dog grooming shop” at the site.
According to a planning application submitted to decision-makers, the property is currently vacant.
Proposed floor plans set out planned facilities for the business, including dog cages and a work area with grooming tables.
The plan adds a hot water feed would be needed for built-in shower areas at the rear of the business unit.
A decision on the planning application will be made once a period of council consultation has concluded.
The consultation will run until November 11, 2022 and comments can be left via the council’s website.
