Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that varying the opening hours of the hair salon would have on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The limited size of the property, appointment-based operation, and restricted number of clients meant the proposed extension of opening hours would not result in a level of activity or noise that would harm neighbouring occupiers' living conditions.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy DMG1
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 135Paragraph 191

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
