Big change at popular vet's surgery is among planning applications for Ashfield

A planning application has been given permission by Ashfield District Council for the former Meadowbank practice at Hillbank House, Commonside in Selston.

The small surgery operated under the Medivet banner, but was owned by Anne Killick, who was responsible for the application..

A planning statement, lodged with the council on her behalf by agents Architectural Building Design Services Ltd, of South Normanton, said: “The surgery business has ceased to operate, and this application is to return the property to a dwelling.

"The site is located off the main road linking Pinxton and Selston. It is a two-storey, semi-detached property, and the building consisted of the vet’s surgery on the ground floor and living accommodation at first-floor level. The adjoining building is a two-storey residential dwelling.”

The plan is to turn the surgery into a three-bedroom home. The statement added: “There are no building works to be done. The external appearance of the property will remain as it currently is.”
