Business Policy 10
Requires retail in established town/village centres. Officer found proposal conflicts as site rural, not near settlement/transport, but precedents overrode strict application for small-scale use.
Business Policy 7
Requires offices in town/village centres. Similar tension to BP10; rural chalet not suitable but low-impact home business precedents allowed approval with controls.
Environment Policy 16
Permits redundant rural buildings of historical/architectural/social/visual interest for other uses. Chalet lacks such merit; policy test failed but outweighed by appeals.
Time limit for use
The use must be taken up within four years of the date of this notice in order for this approval to remain valid after that time.
Approved plans
This permission relates to the use of the summer house as shown in the plans and drawings submitted on 25th October, 2007 for the purposes of a beauty salon, operated in association with the occupation of 2 Knocksharry Cottages.
Hours of operation
The salon may be operational only between the hours of 0900hrs and 1800hrs Monday to Friday (with one evening each week where appointments may be taken up to 2100hrs) and 0900hrs to 1300hrs on Saturdays and at no time on Sundays.
no objection
Do not oppose subject to off-street parking not removing spaces from main dwelling and salon ancillary to dwelling
