Animal Boarding
Home Boarding is the provision of care and/or accommodation for other people's pets, in a private dwelling or commerical setting. This includes day care.
Please be aware that if you operate an Animal Boarding establishment from your home, planning permission may be required. The Council will consider the impact on neighbouring properties, especially where the reidents share common access. You can make enquiries regarding this requirement to environment@eastlothian.gov.uk
