Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that the removal or variation of the conditions in dispute would have on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The hairdressing salon's two-year operational history without substantiated complaints, combined with its small size and single-operator restriction, demonstrated it could operate permanently without unacceptable harm to neighbours, but extending evening hours would materially increase noise and disturbance impacts.

Plan policies cited: Policy GD5 of the City of Derby Local Plan Review (adopted January 2006)
