A NEW dog grooming parlour is set to be established in Grimsby.
An application by Mark Cadey-Gell to change the use of his single detached garage at 21 Dymoke Drive has today been granted planning consent by North East Lincolnshire Council.
No representations, either for against the proposal, were submitted by neighbours.
Proposed hours of operation are 9am to 6pm, five days a week between Tuesday and Saturday.
Up to five dogs will be groomed per day with only one at any one time.
A driveway is available for parking if required as well as short-term on street parking if necessary.
No customer dogs will be kept overnight on the premises.
A report by a NELC case officer states: "In terms of impact on the attached neighbours, the proposed use is not likely to be over-intensive and so is not considered significant.
"Mitigation measures regarding noise, odour and waste have been provided and are deemed acceptable."
However, the consent has been made temporary, for one year only, in order to monitor the use to ensure that there are no adverse impacts on the neighbours and the area in general.
After 12 months, Mr Cadey-Gell will be able to apply for his planning permission to be extended.
