Plans for a new dog day care centre and grooming salon have been submitted to Leeds City Council for a decision.

Pet care firm the Doggie Stop Ltd is asking for permission  to convert a vacant warehouse at Lotherton Business Park in Garforth.

Up to 15 dogs would be accommodated at the centre each day. Six dogs booked in for grooming appointments.

Plans for the Lotherton Way site include a shop selling goods for pets.

A planning report said jobs would be created if Leeds City Council gives consent for a change of use of the building.

Support independent community journalism!

East Side Story covers the people, places and stories in Leeds that are too often overlooked. While national headlines chase conflict and clickbait, we focus on real communities and the issues shaping daily life in East Leeds.

Divisive content, AI noise and online rumours spread faster than ever. At the same time, many mainstream outlets are stretched and rarely spotlight the community organisations and local champions who deserve recognition.

East Side Story was created to change that. We answer only to our readers. We have no corporate owners or billionaire funders. Our journalists report freely, ask difficult questions and hold power to account.

Your support helps us keep this work going. Monthly contributions make the biggest impact because they allow us to invest in deeper reporting and fearless local journalism.

Supporters also receive exclusive updates, behind the scenes insights and other benefits as a thank you for keeping independent journalism alive.
