Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of removing the condition on the openness of the Green Belt and on the living conditions of the nearest neighbours, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The physical constraints of the small salon building and restricted operating hours would limit the intensification of use to a level that would not significantly harm Green Belt openness or cause unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbours.
