Plans have been submitted to turn the former Marks & Spencer Foodhall and Carphone Warehouse sites in Spalding, Lincolnshire, into a Pets at Home store. 

Schroder Real Estate Investment Management has applied to South Holland District Council to convert the units into a Pets at Home retail store.

Documents lodged with the planning application state: “The proposed store will provide a pet grooming facility and a vet service, which are part of the overall offer of a Pets at Home store. The in-store ‘Vets4Pets’ area provides general animal health treatments and welfare advice to emergency medical procedures and offers the full range of veterinary services.

"The store will also accommodate a Groom Room salon which offers treatments across a range of services to enhance the well-being of dogs.”
