The service would provide consultations for animals the RSPCA has provided for adoption, including follow-up checks, vaccinations and microchipping.
"It is anticipated that there will be up to six consultations per day, which will each involve less than a half-hour period," The development application said.
"The proposed use will not include a veterinary service or veterinary ward, and animals will not be held on-site."
