A dog grooming business has had plans to move into a more sustainable location approved by council planning bosses at the second attempt.

Scallywags Dog Grooming saw its plans to move from the rear of the Brown Cow pub in Chatburn to another property further down Bridge Road refused by Ribble Valley Borough Council in September.

The council objected to the fact there was not enough information regarding the impact of noise arising from the move, however this was addressed in an updated planning support statement and has now been accepted.

The applicants, David and Adele Clay, registered their original plans with the council in August, saying with the business now successfully established in Chatburn, they needed extra space to provide further improvements.

These include a more spacious grooming area, a separate waiting area, a more suitable rising bath for washing, a drying cabinet, and a staff toilet.

The proposed building is a house further down Bridge Road, where the ground floor would be used for the business and the first floor would remain as a one-bedroom flat.

The business currently operates from the Brown Cow pub, where the Clays are the licensees, and has been established for four years.

A decision notice published by the council said: “The use hereby approved within the ground floor of the building known as 10 Bridge Road, Chatburn, shall only be open for business between the following hours: 9am to 6pm Monday to Saturday.

“The development hereby approved shall be carried out in complete accordance with the sound mitigation/attenuation measures detailed. The approved sound mitigation/attenuation measures shall be installed in strict accordance with the approved details.”

Development of the new location must begin within three years.
