Plans to turn struggling pet shop into learning centre
A pet shop, which has been losing money since the start of the pandemic, could be turned into an all-ages tuition centre if a change-of-use application is accepted.
Elm Park Pets in Hornchurch, Essex, struggled during the pandemic lockdowns and owner Yasin Shaaban Hamouda said efforts had been made to sell the business.
Planning documents state aesthetic changes would include new signage, and internal space will be reimagined to accommodate 34 students across its ground and lower-ground floor classrooms.
