A vets business can move to a clinic proposed for land by the M6 near Lancaster, which was earmarked for light industry and has a car showroom. But a supermarket would not be allowed there, councillors have said.
The plot is part of a larger three-hectare site where there is planning permission for four buildings in total for employment use, which is currently under construction. The applicant is Tracey Clavell-Bate of Barnfield Contractors Limited, based in Nelson, Lancashire. Green Party Coun Dave Brookes said: “This has got permission for Class E uses but a restriction that it cannot be turned into a supermarket. That is really important. That enables me to support this.”
“The practice majors in orthopaedics but also offers additional services in soft tissue, neurology, and physiotherapy. The group wants to expand the range of surgical treatments to clients across north Lancashire and south Cumbria, However, its current unit is small and constrained. It is looking for new premises to enable the business to grow and meet the needs of clients.”
