Pets at Home plans mezzanine expansion at Norwich store

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 07:13 · Archive

Pets at Home has proposed building a mezzanine floor at its Sprowston Retail Park store to expand veterinary and grooming facilities.

Pets at Home has proposed building a mezzanine floor within its existing store at Sprowston Retail Park to create larger veterinary and grooming facilities. The additional space would be occupied by Vets4Pets, the retailer's in-store veterinary service.

The expanded facility would comprise consulting rooms where general pet care advice is given and animals receive basic preventative medicine and treatments, such as worming or flea treatments. It would also include operating theatres to undertake small scale procedures such as spaying and X-raying.

The vet facility would form part of the existing store, with customers accessing it through Pets at Home rather than through a separate entrance. All treatments and consultations would take place during the store's standard trading hours, mirroring those of the main retail unit. Savills, acting on behalf of the applicant, said Vets4Pets was 'an integral part' of the services offered at Pets at Home stores and that the proposal accords with relevant planning policies.
