- we live next door to a dog daycare facility - that is running close to 4 years with no planning permission.
- we complained over a year ago to the council; the council did very little, we complained again and again and eventually they said they were appointing a 'Fresh' planning officer to review the file.
- the person who owns the business only registered it in 2022 (not 2020 when it started) it is registered to a different address (original home address of the person)
- the owner of the property where the dog daycare facility has recently applied for retention planning
- the business owner and property owner are friends
- the business owner lives full time at the dog daycare address
- they have placed the planning notice on a pillar - however the notice almost entirely with hanging ivy....I'm wondering how long to let that go unreported
- the noise is brutal with barking from 8am monday to friday throughout the day....we work from home, me for over 10 years. it's a built up residential area!!
- the woman next door to us (semi D) moved out due to the noise and the council sitting on their hands for over a year, she was unwell and couldn't hack it
- the landlord of next door is currently doing up the house and has said he will complain also, he knows the names of the dogs!!! as he is outside more than us and hears the commotion
- new local area plan is in draft form which might help?
- we don't want years of dog barking, it has expanded as it is in terms of numbers and teh noise has increased
- the further worry is they could expand to boarding kennels
- I'm hoping planning will be refused, we will of course object..
- they blocked me on instagram, this was after saying they were looking for new premises...i said it was unfair that they had turned a residential area into a noisy business...and there was zero consultation
- I have found a couple of cases in other counties on a similar note and these will help...i hope...
