PLANS for a day-care centre for dogs at Lymm have been submitted to Warrington Borough Council.
The proposal involves an existing barn at Wet Gate Farm, in Wet Gate Lane.
It has been submitted by Bruce’s Doggy Dare Care – a national organisation established in Surrey in 2009, which describes itself as being like children’s nursery but for dogs.
It would aim to attract dog owners from an area including Warrington, Lymm, Altrincham and Wilmslow.
The centre would provide a safe, controlled, and purpose-built environment for the the care and exercising of dogs, making use of an existing barn on the site.
It would offer dog owners with an alternative to using dog walking services in public areas which experience has shown can be intimidating to other users – particularly horse riders, cyclists and runners.
When full, the centre would accommodate 70 dogs which would be brought to the site by air-conditioned “doggy buses” or in owners’ cars.
Nearest homes to the site are about 85m away so it was unlikely occupiers would experience any significant noise.
The proposals are being considered by Warrington Borough Council planning officers
