Beagle farm expansion plans approved

B&K Universal, which owns the site, will develop the existing facility to allow dogs to be bred for medical testing

B&K Universal, which owns the site, wants to develop the existing facility to allow dogs to be bred for medical testing, but campaigners say the testing is unnecessary.

We very much welcome the sensible decision to grant planning permission for our breeding site, based on the merits of the proposals within planning law. However, we are disappointed that it has taken so long for the right outcome to arrive. It has now been almost two years since the application was submitted. We applaud the secretary of state for not being distracted by the misleading arguments of animal rights groups during the Planning Appeal process.

– B&K Universal
