APPROVED: Location of the Skin Excellence Clinic in West Horrington near Wells. Pic: Google Maps. A COSMETIC surgery clinic in the Mendip Hills will be allowed to continue operating after retrospective plans were approved without debate. Dr Ian Strawford runs the Skin Excellence Clinic, which is based within the Cheese Yard complex in the village of West Horrington, just north of Wells. Dr Strawford began running the clinic on the ground floor of one of the buildings in February 2019 without planning permission, and applied for a change of use retrospectively. Mendip District Council has now ruled that the clinic can continue to operate, granting permission without any public debate.
