Change of Use From a Residential Garage to a Canine Hydrotherapy

The client approached Planning By Design regarding a proposed change of use from a residential garage to a canine hydrotherapy. The converted space would incorporate a dog hydrotherapy treadmill, a washing station, a small toilet, and a water tank. The garage wall would be replaced with a door and window complemented with a brick render. Visits to the site would be by appointment only and only one dog will ever be at the premises receiving treatment.

Following a planning appraisal, one of our chartered town planners confirmed this is feasible and would require full planning permission to change the use.

One of our chartered architects produced the required architect drawings which the client approved. Following approval of the architect design one of our chartered town planners has prepared the required Design and Access Statement, to justify why the application should be approved. With the client's approval, the architect drawings and Design and Access Statement were submitted with an application for full planning permission.

Planning Permission has now been approved for a change of use from a residential garage to a canine hydrotherapy.
