The ground floor level of the building extension would include a new ‘consulting room’, disabled toilet, waiting area and meeting room.

The first floor extension would include a new staff area, waiting area and office space.

A small yard would be retained as part of the plans, running alongside the extension building with a new rear gated access.

The applicant is listed in planning documents as Lynwood Healthcare Ltd.

A submitted planning application also confirms the number of employees on site will remain the same.

According to the Fulwell Dental website, the practice offers NHS care, with the exceptions of orthodontics and sedation, as well as emergency and out-of-hours care.

The practice’s approach includes “striving to build your confidence in our treatment, by giving outstanding care , and building our reputation through your recommendation”.
