New state of the art kennels could be introduced at Ewloe dog boarding business

New state of the art kennels could be introduced at a Flintshire pet boarding business in a bid to replace outdated facilities. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Ewloe Boarding Kennels has applied to create improved accommodation at its premises on Stamford Way in Ewloe. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Representatives said the 29 kennels would be used to provide boarding for dogs with a small extension required to the current building to meet new regulations. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

It would represent a reduction in the 34 spaces currently on site, which the owners said would be demolished to make way for a higher standard of accommodation. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

In documents submitted to Flintshire Council, they said: “There is a present kennel usage on site with 34 kennel units, which are somewhat outdated and not in line with present day standards. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“Therefore it is determined that the most economical solution is to demolish the existing building and construct a new state of the art purpose built unit. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“The kennels will provide boarding accommodation for dogs and will meet or exceed all regulations required by the Animal Activities Licensing Regulations 2018. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

  ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“Overall the enclosed application presents a scheme that is appropriate to the setting of the site.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

They added: “The extension to the building is essential to enable the existing business to provide local residents with a facility for boarding their dogs which meets the latest regulations. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“It is hoped that bearing in mind these facts, the council will support this application and enable an existing business to continue to grow.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The owners said the existing driveway and parking area for the business would not be alterred as a result of the changes as there would be no impact on traffic. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Comments are currently being invited on the application via the council’s website. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Planners are aiming to make a decision on the proposals by the end of this month. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
