In a planning statement, the applicants said: “The dog grooming services offered will be on a one-to-one basis.

"The customer will be able to park on the driveway for drop-offs and collections preventing disturbance to neighbours’ paths or driveways.

"We plan to prevent customer crossovers as the service will be offered by a strict appointment system only.

"The address will only be given out upon a confirmation of appointment to stop people from turning up unannounced.

"Working hours proposed include 9am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday and 9am to 1pm on Saturdays where required.

"The dryer to be used is a low-decibel dryer so that it can be used for dogs that are sensitive.

"The doorway to the back of the garage will be kept closed during the use of the dryer to keep noise levels to a minimum.”
