Worries about noise and light pollution are among a host of objections to plans for a new dog care centre in a village near Norwich.

If approved, the day care facility would be built between Blofield Corner Road and Dawsons Way in Blofield Heath.

The centre would be open between 8am and 6pm and provide enough space for up to 30 dogs at a time.

It would also include parking and a floodlit exercise and agility field available from 7am "until dark".

But the plans have received fierce backlash from locals - amassing a whopping 20 public objections, including one from Blofield Parish Council.

"There could be 30 dogs at the facility during the day who will inevitably bark," one homeowner told Broadland District Council's planning department.

"It could be constant. This is very unfair to local residents who purchased properties in a ‘quiet’ community.

"Floodlights are a hideous, unsightly proposal. Who in their right mind would want to live next to a facility such as this?"

Other locals have raised concerns about increased traffic in the area and the centre's proximity to residential areas. 

"As regular users of Blofield Corner Road, in a car, on foot and on bicycles we are very well aware of the extra care needed on this one vehicle wide road," another person told the district council.

"Even with the present amount of traffic it can be hazardous.

"The idea of having many more cars accessing a dog exercise/agility area we feel is a dangerous proposal.

"We have noticed that locals tend to travel at a sensible speed but people who are not accustomed to our narrow, bendy roads often take more risks and on more than one occasion we have had to take avoiding action.

"We value the wildlife and dark skies of the area and also the tranquillity, all of which would be compromised if this application was to be granted."

Those behind the proposals have been contacted for comment.

Broadland District Council is expected to make a decision on the application by February 28.
