A NEW dentist could be set to open in Hereford soon, with a planning application submitted to Herefordshire Council to convert part of a community hall.
The application is for a change of use for part of the Saxon Hall Putson Community Centre to the south of the city.
It has been submitted by Worcester-based AMH Healthcare with accompanying plans showing two community rooms, a meeting/changing room, kitchen and toilet being converted into three treatment rooms, a reception area, staff room, storage room and decontamination room.
