Peterborough City Council approves pet crematorium in Thornhaugh
The proposal, which was submitted by L. Clipsham and S. Fox, won ‘unanimous support’ from the committee
Peterborough City Council’s planning committee has approved an application to deliver a cattery and pet crematorium adjacent to each other in Thornhaugh, near Peterborough.
Built behind Magnolia House in Old Oundle Road, the two facilities aim to meet local demand for their services.
The proposal, which was submitted by L. Clipsham and S. Fox, won “unanimous support” from the committee.
Planning agent, John Dickie, told the planning committee today (10 April): “The two businesses are perfectly suited to operate side-by-side, as in most instances they’ll be helping the same customers – just in different circumstances.
“Most people who have cats or dogs trust kennels to look after their pets. Who better to offer a first class and compassionate service when the sad time comes?”
The application was brought in front of Peterborough City Council’s planning committee – rather than being reviewed by council officers – because it involved building in open countryside, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.
