Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing neighbouring occupiers
  • The character of the area

What decided it

The modest scale of the outbuilding, limited nature of hair salon operations, and ability to control activity through conditions meant the development would not cause significant harm to neighbouring living conditions or the character of the area.
