Details of the Approved Planning Application

The approved planning application centers on a substantial refurbishment and extension of our current facilities. This will significantly increase the practice's size, adding approximately 1,500 square feet to the existing building. The expansion has been carefully designed to seamlessly integrate with the existing structure, maintaining the character of the building while enhancing its functionality.

• Specific improvements planned:

  • A new, state-of-the-art operating theatre equipped with the latest surgical equipment.
  • A significantly expanded waiting area, providing more comfortable seating for pet owners.
  • A dedicated isolation ward to prevent the spread of infection and ensure the safety of all patients.
  • Improved accessibility features for pet owners with disabilities, including ramps and wider doorways.

• Expected completion date: We anticipate the refurbishment and expansion project to be completed by Spring 2024.

• Environmental considerations: The application included a detailed environmental impact assessment, and sustainable building materials and practices will be employed throughout the construction phase. We are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint.

Benefits for Pet Owners in Bungay

These improvements will bring numerous benefits to pet owners in Bungay and the surrounding villages:
