Specialist menopause clinic approved for Preston residential area

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 16:13 · Archive

A private menopause and women's wellness clinic has been approved for a residential property in Preston suburbs.

Preston City Council planning officers have approved plans to convert part of an existing residential property, Maxy House on Sandy Lane in Cottam, to house a private menopause and women's wellness clinic. The facility will use a single room as a consultation space and office, with a seating area in the hallway.

The applicant, Dr P Carr, confirmed that the vast majority of the business would operate through web-based virtual appointments. Only patients requiring face-to-face consultations or treatment would visit in person. The council was satisfied that pre-booked appointments lasting around an hour would mean only a small number of patient visits each day, with no material impact on the surrounding highway network.

Planning conditions will require that only pre-booked patients are accepted, with no walk-in appointments permitted. An additional parking space will be created at the site, bringing the total to three. The environmental health team approved the arrangement, and no public objections were received.
