Plans have been revealed for a dog grooming salon on a farm being transformed by new tenants.
Hannah Hetherington has applied for prior approval to change the use of the barn at Mendhams farm off Hall Road at Outwell, near Wisbech.
She says in her planning statement: "We are looking to build a wooden structure inside the building to create a dog grooming salon.
"The salon will be a diversification for the farm and will bring added income. The dog grooming salon will offer job opportunities for local people."

Miss Hetherington and Tom Martin, both 24, took on the tenancy of the 115-acre Mendhams Farm in October, 2022.
They have transformed the land by planting new hedges and re-sowing former arable fields.
Miss Hetherington said there would be no noise impact from the new business, which would be down a private track 320m from the road and trading would only be in "social hours".
