Plans for new veterinary clinic on Telford industrial estate thrown out by planners
An animal hospital operator looking to open a new clinic in Telford has had its plans thrown out by council planners over concerns about the loss of "employment land".
In May, Watford-based MediVet asked Telford & Wrekin Council for permission to convert two units on the Hortonwood industrial estate into a new veterinary clinic.
MediVet said many of its practices were turning away new clients and the company was "reviewing all premises for ongoing suitability and providing new premises where there is a demand".
External plans for the site included the creation of a dog run to the rear and changes to the internal layout - including consulting rooms, two operating theatres, a dental treatment room and x-ray facilities.
