Planning documents state the clinic would operate on an appointment-only basis, with 45-minute sessions followed by a 15-minute gap to prevent patients arriving at the same time. “The clinic will operate strictly by appointment only with controlled client numbers.” Parking for up to four vehicles would be available on the property's driveway, according to plans submitted with the application. Yet, despite the concerns, planning officers recommended that Darlington Borough Council approve the application. The proposal will be considered by the council later this year.
